Occupational Safety Management System Research Articles

Some theoretical and practical problems of legal protection of occupational safety: national and international aspects

The academic article deals with certain issues of the theory and practice of regulatory regulation of labour protection in Ukraine. Main organisational and legal forms of occupational safety and health, as well as main tasks of labour protection management in the country, are defined. Philosophical, general scientific and special legal methods of cognition, including but not limited to formal-legal and comparative legal methods, were used for the research. It is noted that Ukraine’s health and safety situation is one of the most challenging in Europe. The authors also state that importance of the psychological climate in the workplace and its impact on the production process cannot be underestimated, so relevant measures in the context of its improvement are proposed. The article highlights certain aspects of labour protection regulation at the international legal level in general (ensured by the International Labour Organization) and at the level of the European Union in particular, as well as the impact of relevant standards on national legislation. The authors formulate proposals for improving the labour protection institute in modern economic conditions in Ukraine, including but not limited to: implementing innovative legal education and training programs focused on occupational safety and health;, creating/improving safe working conditions under martial law, including proper equipment of shelters for use during air raids; ensuring submission of a draft law on improving penalties for violations of labour protection legislation, which will increase employers’ responsibility for compliance with labour protection legislation. It is concluded that the occupational health and safety management system shall be based not only on measures taken by the state, but also on the interest of the parties to labour relations in maintaining the proper physical condition of the employee, which is inextricably linked to the economic and social well-being of the employer.

The ISO 45001 standard and its relationship with the Occupational Health and Safety Law, Peruvian case

The implementation of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System is essential in organizations to take care of the integrity of people and avoid illnesses. The objective of the study is to relate the international standard ISO 45001 with an Occupational Health and Safety Law, with the aim that organizations that are currently complying with the regulations of their country can know which provisions they are complying with link to the standard. ISO 45001 and which ones are still pending, and in this way, they have an input for compliance with the international standard. For this analysis, the Occupational Health and Safety Law of Peru will be used as a guideline, which will provide a guide so that this analysis can be replicated with the laws of other countries. From the results obtained, it is concluded that the Peruvian OSH Law partially complies with the ISO 45001 standard.

Relationship Between The Implementation Of Occupational Health And Safety Manajement Systems With Accident Risk In Fire Fighting Officers

Fires often come without warning, presenting unexpected risks for firefighters who must remain alert while on duty. This profession is classified as a job that is full of high risks, and the level of risk faced is closely related to the implementation of an occupational health and safety (K3) management system. This research uses a quantitative analytical survey approach with a cross-sectional design to explore the relationship between the implementation of an K3 management system and the risk of accidents among firefighters. In this study, 36 officers were selected as samples using the random sampling method. Primary data was obtained through questionnaires filled out by respondents and assessment sheets prepared by researchers. Data analysis used the chi-square test with a confidence level of 95% (? = 0.05). Rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho) occurs if the p value <0.05, which concludes that there is a significant relationship. Research findings show that as many as 30 field officers (83.3%) are within the scope of the K3 management system which is categorized as poor. There is a significant relationship between the implementation of the K3 management system and the risk of accidents (p=0.000). In order to minimize the risk of work accidents, increasing awareness and discipline of officers in using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is very important. It is hoped that the findings from this research can become a basis for related parties to make system improvements and increase the safety of firefighters in the future. Efforts to increase awareness of the importance of K3 and the use of PPE are expected to reduce the risk of accidents and better protect officers as they carry out their duties to protect the public from the dangers of fire.

EVALUASI PENERAPAN KESELAMATAN DAN KESEHATAN KERJA (K3) PADA PROYEK PEMBANGUNAN PASAR SINGAMANDAWA TAHAP I

The rapid development of the construction industry in addition to providing benefits also poses risks. The construction industry has quite a big risk and this industry can be said to be the most vulnerable to work accidents. ISO 45001: 2018 can be defined as an International Standard that regulates the requirements for occupational health and safety management systems. This study aims to determine the evaluation and application of OHS according to ISO 45001: 2018 regulations in the Phase I Singamandawa Kintamani Market development project. The type of data used is primary data obtained from distributing questionnaires and interviews as well as secondary data obtained from library sources. Data processing was carried out using Microsoft Excel and SPSS version 25. The type of research used was a combination research that combines qualitative and quantitative research, using 3 techniques, namely antecedents, transcendents, and output. The results showed that the antecedents' techniques of staff and workers stated they were very suitable with an average of 40.00 and 41.08 for the OHS policy and planning implementation stage, that the applicable laws and the commitment and leadership carried out were appropriate because of the -the contractor encourages workers to apply OHS. The averages of 37.09 and 38.04 for the OSH implementation stage are also very appropriate. In the transcendents technique, staff and workers stated that they were very compatible with an average of 34.09 and 34.63 with early identification of hazards and risk control. Whereas for the implementation of OHS, the average is 45.64 and 46.00, very appropriate, because there is supervision according to standards. At the output stage, staff and workers stated that they were very suitable with an average of 18.82 and 18.96 for the OHS performance monitoring and evaluation stage. Based on the results of the evaluation of the application of OHS in the Singamandawa Market development project, it is following ISO 45001: 2018, namely by taking the PDCA (Plan Do Check Action) approach.

Sustainability Assessment of Machinery Safety in a Manufacturing Organization Using AHP and CART Methods

Machine safety is not only a prerequisite for successful production but also the foundation for the sustainability and growth of any manufacturing organization. The latest approaches in this rapidly developing field integrate effective risk management tools and strategies into occupational health and safety (OHS) management systems. The study, through a real example from practice, describes the use of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method for machine safety improvement, considering the possible types of losses. Classification and Regression Tree Analysis (CART) was applied to assess the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and, therefore, the overall sustainability level of the relevant safety measures. These were proposed risk reduction measures that typically raised uncertainty among managers regarding the estimation of cost-effectiveness. The advantage of the application decision tree approach is the possibility to identify and establish relatively homogeneous groups of undesirable events and their impact on the organization’s objectives. A comprehensive model has been developed to support management decision making in manufacturing organizations towards implementing and improving safety measures in line with manufacturing sustainability goals.

Integrating management systems in the energy sector: the case of the electricity industry in New Zealand

The New Zealand Electricity Engineers Association (EEA) asked for advice about development of a guide for a public safety management system (PSMS) for electricity distribution networks based on ISO45001 Occupational health and safety management systems. This would help eliminate overlap between legislation and standards while maintaining compliance with legal requirements. At Victoria University of Wellington we have been working on such an integrated approach and this article reports on the project and suggests how the results can be extended to include other areas of management while retaining the ability for appropriate elements to be audited and certified in accordance with systems required by legislation. The project reviewed an earlier report and literature review on PSMS for the Electricity Networks Association. Development of the legal requirements for a PSMS were reviewed and use of the International Standards Organization (ISO) framework for all management system standards proposed to encompass ISO45001 and similar standards. Relevant management content was incorporated in the high-level structure and key stakeholders contributed technical content. Use of the ISO Annex SL as a template enabled development of an integrated management system incorporating other management system standards, that would still support legal compliance while enabling elimination of duplication and clutter, and waste of resources at a time of technology change. The work was carried out in New Zealand (NZ) and may not apply in other countries with different legal requirements. Auditors may resist integrated management systems although this may not be a limitation if documentation is appropriately written. The electricity networks businesses in NZ may move to implementation of the PSMS guide but this will be an internal decision and results may take some years to declutter documentation and reduce overlapping audits under management system standards. Over the next decade the context of the New Zealand electricity industry will undergo major shifts with the need to adapt to increasing expectations for occupational health and safety and public safety, adaptation to climate change and accelerated implementation of new technologies. The electricity industry will need to apply its resources to those changes while avoiding duplicated efforts to implement multiple management systems. Developing an integrated management system that incorporates several management systems and public safety may aid protection of non-workers who cannot otherwise be “controlled” by a business.

IDENTIFIKASI POTENSI BAHAYA K3 DAN PENGENDALIAN RISIKO PADA KEGIATAN PEMBORAN DI BALAI DIKLAT TAMBANG BAWAH TANAH SAWAHLUNTO IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL OHS HAZARDS AND RISK CONTROL IN DRILLING ACTIVITES IN THE SAWALUNTO UNDERGROUND MINING AND TRAINING CE

OHS in mining activities is generally known as the Mining Occupational Health and Safety Management System (MOHS) which will regulate how and what forms of prevention and control both potential hazards or risks occur during mining activities. Drilling is one of the stages carried out before blasting activities. This is to obtain drilling fast, with the right position. The drilling, which was carried out at the Underground Mining Training Center, used a Jumbo drill and Jackleg machine. Risk identification is the process of identifying hazards, assessing risks and developing management strategies. The application of risk management has benefits including being able to guarantee business continuity by reducing the risk of every activity that contains a hazard, while the purpose of this study is to identify potential hazards and control the risk of work accidents for both workers and trainees at the Sawalunto Underground Mining Training Center.

Efektivitas Sistem Manajemen Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja (SMK3) dalam Upaya Menekan Angka Kecelakaan Kerja di Kota Batam

The Occupational Safety and Health Management System (SMK3) is imperative as a preventive measure to mitigate workplace accidents within a company's environment. Indonesia has enacted legal regulations regarding SMK3, specifically Government Regulation Number 50 of 2012 concerning the Implementation of the Occupational Safety and Health Management System. Nevertheless, the existence of these regulations does not consistently enhance workers' awareness of their safety while at work. This research employs an empirical research method, gathering data through literature studies as secondary data and interviews with the safety officer of PT. GPI as primary data. The research findings conclude that PT. GPI has implemented SMK3 in Indonesia. However, the implementation of SMK3 at PT. GPI in Batam cannot be deemed effective due to the presence of workers unwilling to comply with the applied regulations, ultimately leading to workplace accidents. In addressing this situation, the company needs to enhance strictness and supervision of each worker to ensure compliance with every applicable occupational safety and health regulation.

Occupational safety & health risk analysis in formwork in high-rise building projects

The implementation of Occupational Health and Safety Management systems remains a significant concern, particularly in the context of multi-storey building construction projects. Within the realm of these complex endeavors, the management of work-related accidents during formwork operations is of paramount importance. This research employs a rigorous methodology involving questionnaire distribution and interviews, complemented by advanced analytical tools such as the Frequency Adjusted Importance Index (FAII) and Bow Tie Analysis. The study focuses on the Indonesian Development University’s high-rise building project, systematically assessing potential hazards associated with formwork activities. Furthermore, this research evaluates the inherent risk levels and proposes comprehensive control measures to mitigate these hazards effectively. By shedding light on the intricate interplay between safety management and high-rise construction, this study contributes to the enhancement of occupational safety and health practices in the construction industry, ultimately promoting safer and more efficient work environments.

Обеспечение "функциональности" систем управления охраной труда: действующий обзор стандарта OHSAS 18001

Over the past decade, an increasing number of studies have yielded results on many aspects of occupational health and safety management systems, however, a review of scientific results does not provide an unambiguous sample. We eliminate this gap in the study with a realistic review of the mechanisms of occupational health and safety management systems (OSMS). After a thorough literature search, 14 articles with empirical studies were selected for the review, which we used as a realistic synthesis procedure for analyzing software theories and for analyzing context-mechanism-result (CMR) configurations. OHSAS System Analysis Standard 18001 describes three program theories: operational, institutional, and compliance. Five CMR configurations confirm the program's theories: integration, learning, motivation, translation, and attention. The configurations emphasize that certain combinations of context and mechanisms are necessary for the successful application of the QMS. Therefore, we describe specific ways to successfully implement the «Certified Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems» (SSMSS), as well as internal contextual elements. Thus, the conducted research can be used by organizations as a basis for a thorough internal assessment before the implementation of the standardization system. However, additional research is needed for a more detailed understanding of how to ensure a successful result, and for the functioning of the new ISO 45001 standard

Recommendations on the Development of a Hazard Register for Assessing the Level of Risks in the Field of Occupational Health and Safety at Food Industry Enterprises

The results of research on the implementation of the requirements of the ISO 45001 standard in the field of hazard identification and occupational risk assessment to ensure safe working conditions, preservation of life and health of employees of Kazakhstani food industry enterprises are presented. The Deming-Shuhart cycle «Plan-Do-Check-Act» is proposed as a methodology. It has been established that documentation of the hazard identification procedure and risk assessment is carried out through the development of Hazard and Risk Registers. The Register of Identified Hazards for the oil and fat industry enterprise «Shymkentmay» JSC, the Register of Identified Hazards in the production of meat products of «Karkyn-2030» LLP, the Register of Identified Risks for the operator of the ice cream production line of «Balmuzdak» LLP were developed as examples. Identification of hazards makes it possible to form a Risk map for each employee of enterprises that are taken as objects of research, depending on the existing hazards of a particular workplace. On the basis of such a map, an assessment of each risk is carried out with the establishment of its significance in three categories – high, medium and low. Depending on the established significance of the risk, preventive measures are being developed that allow to prevent the risks of occupational diseases and occupational injuries. The developed documents and completed activities serve as proof of compliance with the requirements of the ISO 45001 standard for monitoring, measurement and improvement of the occupational health and safety management system when confirming compliance with the requirements of this standard.

Toolkit for creating a safety culture for future railway workers

JSC ‟Russian Railways” is carrying out comprehensive work to reduce injuries to zero, including by increasing the level of professional training of employees. Safety culture as a derivative of the international movement Vision Zero, has become an important part of the occupational safety management system in Russian Railways and has radically changed the approach to the identification and prevention of injuries in railway transport. Students of transport technical schools and universities should join the Vision Zero international movement at the stage of education, that is, much earlier than the actual start of work. To do this, it is proposed to introduce a system of annual labor protection months in educational institutions, which will become the basis for the formation of a safety culture. Conducting such months gives the student the opportunity to take part in them for several years in a row, at the beginning of training to a greater extent as a listener and spectator, but at senior courses, to act as a lecturer, organizer and participate in more significant events.Constant work on the formation of a ‟correct” understanding of the importance of compliance with the safety standards and rules of future railway workers will become the basis for the eradication of injuries due to unfair compliance with the requirements of labor protection instructions.

Occupational health and safety management system and stock price crash risk

This study responds to the call of Ben-Nasr and Ghouma (2018) by providing more empirical evidence on stock price crash risk from the employee treatment perspective. With a focus on occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS), we examine whether corporate OHSMS adoption reduces stock price crash risk. We find that OHSMS adoption is negatively associated with crash risk. This negative relationship is more pronounced for SOEs than for non-SOEs, and for firms with higher levels of media coverage and with higher market competitive status. Employee welfare and internal control effectiveness are two channels through which OHSMS adoption affects crash risk. The current study extends to the health and safety factor, thus shedding new light on the determinants of crash risk. Our study also advances the understanding of the “responsible employee treatment – crash risk” relationship.

ANALYSIS OF FACTORS INHIBITING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF K3 IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Low implementation of K3 in construction projects can cause the safety and health of construction workers to be given less attention, so that construction workers feel less safe and comfortable, which can result in a decrease in performance levels. The impact of non-optimal performance results in the project being carried out not being able to meet the quality requirements that have been set. Based on data analysis from observations on the Kapas-Glendeng 8 bridge widening construction project, Bojonegoro Regency, there are inhibiting factors in implementing the occupational health and safety management system, namely workforce competency, work experience in the construction sector, job training, ability to access information via digital media. , worker involvement in making regulations, understanding and awareness in wearing PPE, reporting procedures, data recording and documentation.

Implementasi Sistem Manajemen Hot Work ke dalam Sistem Manajemen Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja

The Occupational Safety and Health Management System (SMK3) is part of the company's management system in general which aims to control risks associated with work activities in order to create a safe, efficient and productive work environment. PP RI Number 50 of 2012 issued regulations regarding the Implementation of the Occupational Safety and Health Regulatory System, and Article 5 of the Law requires every company to implement SPK3 in their company, especially for companies that employ a minimum of 100 (one hundred) workers/laborers or have a high level of potential hazard. Hot work Permit System is a system of written permission to do work that generates heat sources. This study aims to determine the implementation of SMK3 with hot work system management as fire and explosion prevention at PT. XYZ, Indramayu. It is recommended for companies to strengthen the application of safety culture by implementing a hot work permit system, organizing training for welding workers, and conducting socialization regarding standard operating procedures (SOP) in work behavior for all workers.

Пути повышения эффективности систем управления охраной труда

The high level of occupational injuries has been registered globally. Daily, 5,000 deaths are caused by industrial accidents and occupational illnesses. It is an issue that requires an urgent solution. The International Organization of Standardization has developed the ISO 45001:2018 Standard; implementing its recommendations in the working practices of an enterprise should increase the efficiency of activities aiming to ensure occupational safety. The basic recommendation of the standard is the development of an occupational safety management system at the enterprise. It is a documented system; within its setup, it is required to develop a significant volume of documentation and determine information links between the departments. The enterprise, however, must not focus only on documentation. The main functioning efficiency factor of the occupational safety management system is training for staff. Conditions to boost staff activities and their involvement in the development of favorable working conditions, detection and elimination of hazards at the workplace must be provided. An essential factor of the successful functioning of the occupational safety management system is the conducting of recurrent audits (1–2 times a year) at each department of the enterprise. Nevertheless, hazards and incidents at the workplace can emerge daily; therefore, the staff should act as auditors as the efficiency of detection of emerging hazards and risks and their timely elimination will depend on the staff’s qualification, attention, and active approach. In order to boost staff involvement, constant improvement of competencies and the use of an incentive system developed considering the efficiency of proposals on occupational safety improvements can be recommended. The involvement of staff in occupational safety activities, their understanding of the importance of such activities aiming at the safety of life and health, and the support of initiatives of the staff are possible on the condition of interest of the enterprise's top management in the efficient measures to ensure occupational safety. Involvement of all employees of the enterprise in solving occupational safety problems will enable significant improvement of working conditions, reduce the level of occupational injuries, and resolve social issues within the framework of achievement the goals of the sustainable development program.

Analisis Penerapan Sistem Manajemen Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja Di PT. PLN (Persero) Sektor Tambora Kabupaten Sumbawa Barat

Occupational Safety and Health Management System (SMK3) is part of a management system that includes the company's organizational structure, planning, responsibility, implementation, achievement, assessment and development of occupational safety and health policies. PLN Tambora West Sumbawa is a business unit of PT PLN (Persero) which manages the electricity system in West Nusa Tenggara Province PT PLN (PERSERO) Tambora sector. In the Tambora sector, it was found that the implementation of SMK3 is still not effective, which can cause occupational accidents and occupational diseases such as the use of coal as a flammable material, slipping, falling from a height, disturbance, electric shock, and coal ash residue (FABA) which, if inhaled continuously, will cause respiratory problems. Continuous inhalation will cause respiratory distress. Therefore, an analysis was carried out on the implementation of the occupational safety and health system (SMK3) at PT PLN (PERSERO) by using data in the form of a questionnaire related to the implementation of the company's K3 management towards ISO 45001: 2018 and processing the data using the Gap Analysis method, then providing recommendations for improvement. The results showed that the implementation of ISO 45001: 2018 amounted to 88%. There is a gap of 12% because there are 4 clauses that have not been implemented optimally, namely clause 4.2 concerning understanding the needs and expectations of workers and other interested parties, clause 5.3 concerning roles, responsibilities and organizational management, clause 5.4 concerning worker consultation and participation and clause 7.2 concerning competence, so improvements are proposed for each clause.

Analisis Faktor-Faktor Kinerja Sistem Keselamatan Kerja Konstruksi Proyek Bangunan Gedung Dinas Pendidikan Kota Sungai Penuh

The Indonesian government through the minister of Public Works and Public Housing has recently issued regulation Number 10 of 2021 concerning guidelines for construction safety management systems. The SMK3 Occupational Health and Safety Management System is part of the company's overall management system in order to control risks related to work activities in order to create a safe, efficient and productive workplace. The Construction Safety Management System is required to be implemented during construction because it is also part of the planning and control of the BPSDM PUPR project, 2021. In fact, in Sungai Full city in 2019-2021 experienced labor accidents, one of the projects was a school construction project at the Sungai Full City Education Office which could not be separated from the risk factors for accidents to its workers. Based on secondary data related to work accident information at the Sungai Full City education office School Building Construction Project, information was obtained that there had been 68 accident cases during 2019 – 2021. The purpose of this study is to identify the dominant factors and factors in the Implementation of Improving Performance Aspects of the Work Safety Management System of the Education Building Project in Sungai Full City, as well as providing solutions to improve the Performance of the Work Safety Management System. This study used quantitative methods by distributing questionnaires to respondents. The results of the research conducted there are 6 factors in the Work Safety Management System (SMKK) implemented in the implementation of the Education Building Project in Sungai Full City, consisting of Commitment factors, Project Managerial factors, K3 Regulations and Procedures factors, Worker Communication factors, Worker Competence factors, Work Environment factors, and Worker Involvement factors in K3.

The application of PPE at the Juanda meteorological station (BMKG)

The application of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) is an important step in maintaining employees’ safety and health in their work environment. Even though BMKG is not involved in heavy industrial activities, there are still potential hazards and risks that need to be addressed in carrying out meteorological, climatological, and geophysical tasks. This study aims to describe the importance of implementing PPE in the BMKG environment, especially the Aviation Meteorological Station, where we took a case study at the Juanda Meteorological Station. First, we identify potential hazards that may be faced by BMKG employees, such as radiation risk, potential for hazardous gas explosions or fires, extreme weather conditions, and risks of physical injury. In the face of these risks, the use of proper PPE can help protect employees from hazardous exposures, and gas explosions and prevent injury. Next, we discuss the factors that need to be considered in implementing PPE at the BMKG. This includes a comprehensive risk assessment, identification of appropriate PPE for specific hazards, training of employees on the use and care of PPE, and regular monitoring and maintenance of the PPE used. Therefore, by implementing the Occupational Health and Safety Management System, in this case, the application of PPE, BMKG can ensure that employees have a safe and healthy work environment, reduce the risk of work accidents, and comply with applicable regulations and standards related to work safety.

건설현장의 KOSHA-MS 영향요인 연구

Despite the implementation of diverse policies and systems by the government aimed at mitigating severe disasters such as deaths, the occurrence of fatal incidents within the construction industry remains alarmingly high, comprising 53% of the industry as a whole. Consequently, this research endeavor was undertaken with the aim of identifying an efficacious approach for KOSHA-MS(Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency Management System), the pivotal component of the construction site accident prevention system, to enhance its efficacy and effectiveness. In this study, the independent variables were comprised of four human factors and two occupational factors. These variables were constructed based on interviews with forty safety and health management managers, as well as safety managers, from twenty construction sites operated by S Construction. A review of previous research was also conducted. The dependent variable, on the other hand, was the configuration of KOSHA-MS. A survey encompassing a total of 151 construction employees and workers was conducted between 1, November, 2023, and 21, November, 2023. The gathered data underwent statistical analysis utilizing the SPSS program.
 The study found that the survey items had good validity and reliability. Additionally, the roles of safety and health managers and management supervisors, were identified as significant human factors, while hazardous work was identified as a significant occupational factor impacting KOSHA-MS. The findings of this study indicate that effective managerial roles and the management of hazardous work take part in a crucial role in the practical and effective implementation of KOSHA-MS.
