Abstract

Health and safety is fundamental to an organization’s success in all areas. Effective occupational health and safety (OHS) programs have been proven to reduce accidents and illnesses in the workplace. However, there are several factors affecting the health and safety standards in the Wetan district of Bandung. These factors include constricted room layout, sloping land contours, lack of air circulation, sunlight, education and enforcement of regulations in the application of OHS. The purpose of this study was to determine the application, OHS barrier and design a mechanism in the application of OHS employees at the Bandung Wetan District Office. The research approach used is descriptive and qualitative. As for testing the validity, using triangulation of sources and techniques. The results indicate the application of engineering, education and enforcement of OHS carried out in Bandung Wetan District has not met the minimum OHS requirements. In the three aspects analyzed, it appears that OHS engineering and education have not been carried out in an organized manner as Permenkes No. 48 of 2016. The obstacles that occur include the lack of leadership, familiarity and budget constraints in implementing OHS in the work environment. Home offices, as well as the Bandung Wetan District Office building will be difficult to do optimal engineering. So to complete and optimize the implementation of OHS, this study designs an OHS management system mechanism. There needs to be socialization, joint commitment, and supervision from agencies related to the implementation of OHS at the Bandung Wetan District Office.
