Implementation of Job Safety Analysis to Reduce Work Accident Risks in Plumbing Practice at the Building Engineering Education Study Program

Abstract

The Ministry of Manpower is actively pursuing the implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System to safeguard all workers in Indonesia.  One method to mitigate the risk of workplace accidents is through the implementation of Job Safety Analysis.  This research is to elucidate the application of Job Safety Analysis to mitigate workplace accidents and to delineate plumbing practices among students in the Building Engineering Education program at Jakarta State University during the plumbing practice course for the odd semester of 2024/2025.  The Job Safety Analysis implemented in the plumbing practice course will concentrate on pipe installation procedures.  This research employs a quantitative descriptive method comprising three stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation.  This study also involved modifications to the Job Safety Analysis, customized to the conditions, surroundings, and equipment of the new workshop.  The modifications to the Job Safety Analysis were corroborated by specialists in occupational safety and health as well as plumbing materials.  The validation results indicate that the Job Safety Analysis complies with the applicable regulations.  The data collection methodology employed questionnaires and observations.  The findings of this study demonstrate that the execution of Job Safety Analysis has effectively reduced the risks and hazards associated with workplace accidents.  Students have effectively executed Job Safety Analysis by utilizing masks and gloves throughout pipe cutting activities.  The predominant occupational hazard identified is hand cramps resulting from pipe cutting, classified as a mild injury.  Concurrently, significant injuries are exceedingly uncommon in the laboratory.  The adoption of Job Safety Analysis in plumbing procedures can mitigate work-related dangers.
