This study aims to analyze the relationship between internal and external factors with near miss incidence in street sweepers in Medan Selayang Subdistrict. This research method is a quantitative research that is analytical in nature using a cross-sectional approach. Samples were taken using a total population technique totaling 44 workers. The data collection method used a questionnaire containing questions about knowledge, communication, use of PPE, and near miss incidence. The participants consisted of 22 (50,0%) workers aged ≤42 years and 22 (50,0%) workers aged >42 years. A total of 22 (50,0%) workers had completed high school as their highest education level, and 26 (59,1%) workers had been employed for more than 10 years.

The results showed that there was no relationship between knowledge and near miss incidence with a p-value of 0,128 (p> 0,05), there was a significant relationship between communication and near miss incidence with a p-value of 0,006 (p<0,05), and the use of PPE with near miss incidence with a p-value of 0,03 (p<0,05). It is recommended that foremen continue to supervise and ensure communication to workers.
