| dc.description.abstract | The increasing population of Indonesia has an impact on the increasing workforce
in various sectors, including the informal sector such as street sweepers. This job
has a high risk of work accidents, especially near miss incidence which are often
not recognized as early indicators of work accidents. 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 of the study showed that 35 (79,5%) workers experienced near misses, 26
(59,1%) workers had poor knowledge, 26 (59,1%) workers had good
communication, and 33 (75,0%) workers did not use complete PPE while working.
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. | en_US |
