Pengembangan Model Penyebab Kecelakaan Kerja di Industri Manufaktur

Abstract

Occupational accidents in manufacturing industry are an ongoing problem, mainly caused by human error or failure to adhere to established procedures and regulations. This research focuses on the development of a comprehensive model to identify the causes of occupational accidents in manufacturing environments, with the aim of reducing the frequency of such events. It draws on existing theories of accident causes, including Domino Heinrich's Theory and Swiss Reason's Cheese Model, and integrates factors of unsafe behavior, workplace conditions and safety culture. Through a study on 50 cases of industrial accidents in Medan industrial Zone, this research identifies the key variables leading to accidents, such as work supervision, workplace conditions and employee behavior. These factors, together with safety culture and safety motivation, form the basis for the development of conceptual models for accident prevention. This research highlights the importance of strengthening safety culture and improving supervision and working conditions to reduce the risk of accidents in the manufacturing industry. The research findings suggest that a proactive safety approach is needed to prevent accidents at all levels.
