Abstract

Human resources can be an indicator of the competitive advantage of the organization because each individual tries to provide optimal work results. However, this often becomes difficult to achieve due to accidents at work. This can occur due to the absence of employee awareness of the importance of work safety in carrying out their work activities, especially in the MSME sector, where most of them only focus on profit. Therefore, the introduction of the occupational health and safety concept is considered important in an effort to reduce the incidence of work accidents. This study aims to try to identify hazard factors in the work environment of Tenjolaya Village, Bandung Regency, as well as provide suggestions for improvements that are easy to apply in the hope of strengthening OSH awareness in their work environment. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach by trying to find the phenomena of real problems and finding solutions with the PDCA (Plan Do Check Action) approach. Researchers seek information through interviews and direct observation by looking at their work activities. From the results of the study, it is known that the level of workers’ awareness of the importance of occupational health and safety is still low. This can be seen from workers who do not use PPE and the results of the identification of a work environment that still has a risk of danger plus the level of knowledge related to occupational health and safety is still low, allowing workers to experience potential work accidents .
