Abstract

Given the significant number of injuries and fatalities in construction businesses, in this field, occupational health and safety (OSH) plays a crucial role in this area. Based on various sources, the high risk of work injuries in the building industry generally occurs due to low compliance with safety standards. Therefore, to reduce occupational risks, it is very important to build an effective OSH system. Preventive efforts include the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), ongoing safety instructions, and regular observations of workplace conditions. This research uses the ISHK Tolaram Eye Clinic construction project in Batu City as a case study to analyze OSH implementation on worker performance and factors that influence work safety. The approach used is quantitative field research, where data is collected using direct observation and distributing questionnaires to craftsmen and project foremen. It is hoped that the research results can provide strategic recommendations in improving the implementation of OSH in building construction projects. Based on its approach and scope, this research is categorized at Technology Readiness Level (TKT) level 5 because it focuses on evaluating the implementation of existing systems in the field without testing or developing new technology extensively.
