Occupational Accident Risk Control in the Small Scale Industry Metal Casting

Abstract:

Work safety is the main aspect that must be considered by companies in carrying out their activities. One of the metal casting companies located in Klaten, Central Java is used as a research site. Work accidents are caused by the company's lack of monitoring of the running of activities in the company and the lack of awareness of the workforce about the importance of work safety. The main problem that arises in the company is the increase in the number of work accidents every year from 2021 to 2023. This can have a negative impact on the company and workers. It is necessary to immediately carry out hazard risk control which is used to control the risks of hazards that arise in the company, The purpose of this research is to conduct a study of the risk of hazards that arise. The method used to conduct research is the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) method. The results of this study are risk controls that are used to help reduce the increase in work accidents in the company. Prioritized risk control is the design and use of personal protective equipment.
