ABSTRACT Background: The accidents at the workplace can affect productivity and public welfare. The occupational safety and health (OSH) program minimizes the case of accidents and illness at the workplace. The study site is a freight railway company with some risks as other transportation businesses. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the company's best practices in OSH programs. Methods: This research is a qualitative design with an online in-depth interview approach to collect the data. The head of the company, Central Java branch, was interviewed as the primary informant while the head of the operational section was the triangulation informant. The researchers also reviewed some documents to validate the interview results. Data were analyzed using content analysis. Results: inspection, briefing, and training are the main OSH related programs in the company to increase the safety climate in the workplace. However, the company has not implemented the inspection as scheduled, lack of safety materials for the morning briefing, and lack of training for the workers. Conclusion: The freight railway in the study site has implemented some OSH Programs, but the safety briefing, inspection, and OSH training need to be conducted. ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Masih tingginya angka kecelakaan kerja di Indonesia dapat mempengaruhi produktivitas serta kesejahteraan masyarakat. Untuk mencegah hal tersebut terjadi, diperlukan adanya program keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja (K3) di tempat kerja yang merupakan upaya dari perusahaan untuk meminimalisir terjadinya kasus kecelakaan kerja dan kasus penyakit akibat kerja. PT.X yang merupakan perusahaan logistik berbasis kereta api ini mempunyai potensi bahaya yang dapat memicu terjadinya kecelakaan di tempat kerja. Tujuan: Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui upaya dari perusahaan untuk mencegah terjadinya kecelakaan kerja melalui program K3 yang ada di perusahaan. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kualitatif. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu form wawancara mendalam, serta pengumpulan data dilakukan secara daring. Informan utama dan triangulasi dalam penelitian ini yaitu kepala cabang dan kepala operasional. Data dianalisis berdasarkan triangulasi metode dan triangulasi sumber. Hasil: Inspeksi, briefing, dan pelatihan merupakan program utama perusahaan yang berkaitan dengan K3, dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan iklim K3 di tempat kerja. Tetapi, perusahaan tidak menjalankan inspeksi rutin, kurangnya materi K3 pada saat briefing, dan kurangnya pelatihan pada pekerja. Kesimpulan: Program K3 yang ada di PT. X masing-masing mempunyai kelebihan serta kekurangan, dan menyarankan untuk meningkatkan atau memperbaiki program K3, seperti penerapan inspeksi rutin, adanya pelatihan, dan pemberian materi K3 pada saat briefing.

The application of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is essential in vocational institutions that have a high risk of accidents. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the application of OSH in the Electrical Laboratory of Subang State Polytechnic using a qualitative descriptive method through observation and interviews. The results of this study indicate that aspects of the application of the standard Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and the use of practical work standards have a score of 66.25% and 62.5%, respectively. Meanwhile, the application of room standards seen from the four main indicators, namely furniture, equipment, educational media, and supporting equipment obtained a total score of 91% (high feasibility). In conclusion, the application of the PPE standard and practical work standard must be considered in detail to improve the overall OSH score.

Accident generally occurs due to the activities which is done in unsafe conditions or even unsafe behavior. These conditions can influence workers productivity. In batik industries, those workers use toxic material and work in non ergonomic atmosphere. Moreover, they also do not take care of the environment and do not use personal protective equipments (PPE). Workers at Madura batik SMEs have not fully realized the significance of occupational health and safety (OHS) in their working areas. The aims of this research is to evaluate OHS performance based on the indicators of safety performance index (SPI), which is multicriteria, in that industri. The safety performance attributes were obtained from factor analysis from the previous study. The index is calculated based on the weighted evaluation results of critical behavior checklist (CBC), integrated with analytical hierarchy process (AHP). As the results, we should give priority to improve the knowledge and experience toward OHS of the workers and also improve the working environment of the Madura’s batik industries. Additionally, the performance of OHS in coloring process is also on the threshold of unsafe condition, further development on the coloring process is needed.
