IMPLEMENTATION OF OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH (K3) RISK MANAGEMENT IN THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

The manufacturing industry plays a vital role in national economic development; however, its production activities carry a relatively high risk of occupational accidents. In 2020, the manufacturing sector, along with the construction sector, accounted for approximately 63.6% of the total workplace accident cases in Indonesia. Various types of hazards, particularly physical hazards such as contact with press machines, grinding machines, and the risk of being trapped by production equipment, are the primary causes of workplace incidents. Risk assessments indicate that most of the identified risks fall within moderate to high levels. The dominant control measures implemented by companies rely on administrative approaches, including the development of standard operating procedures (SOPs), the provision of occupational safety training, and regular supervision of machine operations. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening occupational health and safety management systems comprehensively, increasing worker awareness, ensuring full support from management, and conducting regular evaluations to reduce accident rates and maintain productivity in Indonesia’s manufacturing sector.
