Abstract

Work accidents are a serious problem that can result in losses for both workers and companies, including at PT Bridgestone Sumatra Rubber Estate. An effective work safety culture is needed to minimize risks and ensure optimal work productivity. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence work safety in field workers at PT Bridgestone Sumatra Rubber Estate. The study used a quantitative design with the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method and involved 244 workers selected using proportional stratification from a population of 623 workers. Data were collected using a Likert scale-based questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Factors such as management commitment, employee perception, implementation safety, participation safety, emergency response, and information culture, reporting, learning, and damnation have a significant influence on work safety culture. The results showed that safety climate and safety behavior had an influence of 52.4% while the remaining 47.6% was influenced by other factors. A good work safety culture can reduce the number of work accidents and increase operational efficiency. The implementation of an effective work safety culture requires management support, worker involvement, and strengthening the dimensions of safety culture. Recommendations are given to companies to continuously improve their occupational safety programs.
