| dc.description.abstract | Traffic accidents are one of the leading causes of death and injury in Indonesia,
including in the city of Medan, which has a high incidence rate. This study aims to
analyze the root causes of traffic accidents based on occupation using the fault tree
analysis (FTA) method. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with
primary data obtained through in-depth interviews with investigators from the
Medan Police Traffic Unit, as well as secondary data from police reports and
supporting literature. The results of the study show that the professions involved in
accidents are civil servants, members of the Indonesian National Armed Forces,
members of the Indonesian national police, private sector employees, drivers,
traders, and farmers. Of these various professions, private employees were the most
frequently involved in traffic accidents. FTA analysis revealed that the main factors
causing accidents. FTA analysis revealed that the main factors causing accidents
were divided into unsafe actions (traffic violations, excessive speed, driving while
tired, lack of concentration) and unsafe conditions (potholes, poor lighting, and
unroadworthy vehicles). This study confirms that each profession has a different
accident risk pattern, so prevention strategies need to be designed specifically for
each profession. Recommended efforts include increasing driving safety awareness,
improving road infrastructure, stricter traffic law enforcement, and safety
education for high-risk workers. | en_US |
