OPTIMIZING WORKPLACE SAFETY: THE VITAL ROLE OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMITTEES IN PREVENTING AND REDUCING WORK-RELATED ACCIDENTS AND ILLNESSES IN KOTA BUKIT INDAH INDUSTRIAL ESTATE PURWAKARTA, INDONESIA
Currently, the industrial sector in Indonesia is developing very rapidly in line with advances in science and technology. The use of technology in the industrial world also varies greatly from simple technology to complex technology. However, even though a culture of occupational safety and health has been promoted since half a century ago, work accidents in Indonesia are still relatively high. Recognizing that the involvement of workers in the workplace can be achieved, among others, through having representatives of the workforce in implementing occupational safety and health and establishing an Occupational Safety and Health organization. So, the Government issued Minister of Manpower Regulation number 4 of 1987 concerning Occupational Safety and Health Advisory Committee and Procedures for Appointing Work Safety Experts, Article 1 (d) explained that what is meant by the Occupational Safety and Health Advisory Committee, hereinafter referred to as Occupational Safety and Health Advisory Committee. The Occupational Safety and Health Advisory Committee is an auxiliary body in the workplace which is a forum for cooperation between employers and workers to develop cooperative mutual understanding and effective participation in the implementation of occupational safety and health. However, until now in the implementation of occupational safety and health, a competency system has not been developed that includes the roles and duties of each Occupational Safety and Health Advisory Committee team, including the Chair of Occupational Safety and Health Advisory Committee and members of Occupational Safety and Health Advisory Committee. Even though the competency system is needed so that the implementation of an occupational safety and health management system can be carried out quickly and effectively to minimize the impact of work accidents that may occur in the company.
