Web-Based Information Prototype System for Occupational Safety and Health Risk Assessment in Universities

Abstract

Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is a fundamental component in ensuring safe and healthy working environments within higher education institutions. Despite regulatory frameworks such as Ministry of Health Regulation No. 48 of 2016 and the 2024 Higher Education OSH Guidelines, universities continue to face challenges in hazard reporting, compliance monitoring, and data management. This study aims to design and develop the University Occupational Safety and Health Information System (SIK3TI), a web-based prototype intended to enhance the effectiveness of OSH implementation and evaluation in academic settings.

This research employed a qualitative approach using a Research and Development (R&D) design with the prototyping model. Data were obtained through hazard identification checklists aligned with OSH regulations and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) involving university stakeholders, including infrastructure managers, academic staff, and safety experts. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman to ensure validity and credibility.

The findings demonstrate that SIK3TI provides digitized features for hazard reporting, monitoring, and evaluation, transforming manual processes into integrated web-based management. The prototype includes modules for hazard identification, risk assessment, policy documentation, and audit instruments, allowing real-time data access across multiple user levels. This system significantly improves data accuracy, facilitates decision-making, and supports compliance with national OSH standards.

The development of SIK3TI illustrates that digitalization of OSH management in universities can optimize risk control, strengthen safety culture, and promote institutional accountability. However, large-scale testing and long-term implementation are required to evaluate its sustainability and integration with broader academic information systems.
