IMPLEMENTATION AND SUPERVISION OF OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH IN THE OCCUPATIONAL ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND HANDLING SYSTEM AT PT. INDONESIA POWER STEAM POWER PLANT (PLTU) BARRU (A STUDY OF THE LABOR LAW)
This study investigates the implementation and supervision of occupational safety and health (OHS) in the work accident prevention and response system at PT. Indonesia Power Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Uap (PLTU) Barru, focusing on the study based on the Manpower Law. The background of the study underlines the importance of OHS in the power generation industry to reduce the risk of accidents and ensure a safe working environment for employees. This study uses a qualitative approach with case studies, including in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis. The results of the study indicate that although there has been progress in the implementation of OHS policies, such as the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and routine equipment inspections, there are challenges in managing complex risks, especially related to the use of heavy equipment and a dynamic working environment. The discussion of the research results highlights the practical implications for OHS management in the power generation industry, including the need to strengthen safety culture, improve supervision, and align policies with applicable regulations, namely Recommendations for development include improvements in OHS policies and practices, increasing employee awareness, and aligning with the latest regulations in Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower. The results of this study provide an important contribution to our understanding of OHS practices in the energy sector, with direct implications for improving the safety and well-being of workers in the power generation industry. The conclusions emphasize the need for strategic steps to improve the effectiveness of the OHS system and recommend further research to explore more deeply the factors that influence OHS implementation in high-risk work environments. Thus, this study contributes to a better understanding of OHS practices in the energy industry, particularly in the context of PT. Indonesia Power PLTU Barru.
