PENERAPAN KESELAMATAN DAN KESEHATAN KERJA (K3) DI PT. X BANDAR MATARAM LAMPUNG TENGAH

Abstract

The implementation of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is an essential aspect of industrial activities to protect workers and minimize the risk of occupational accidents and work-related illnesses. This study aims to identify and analyze the implementation of OSH at PT. X, Bandar Mataram, Central Lampung, based on applicable laws and regulations and the principles of the Occupational Safety and Health Management System (OSHMS). The method used was descriptive qualitative, involving field observations, the collection of primary and secondary data, and a comparative analysis between the company's OSH practices and applicable regulations, particularly Law No. 1 of 1970 and Government Regulation No. 50 of 2012. The results indicate that the company has implemented several OSH procedures, including inspections of belongings before entering the work area, routine safety briefings, work area classification based on risk levels, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), inspection of fire extinguishers, and the provision of sanitation facilities and OSH communication media. However, several aspects still require improvement, particularly systematic documentation, internal audits, incident reporting mechanisms, supervision of PPE compliance, and evaluation of training effectiveness. Overall, OSH implementation at the company is considered fairly good; however, improvements in management and supervision are necessary to enhance the effectiveness of workplace safety practices. The findings are expected to serve as an evaluation reference for the company in improving compliance with OSH standards and creating a safe, healthy, and sustainable working environment.
