Abstract

The Indonesian government is currently prioritizing infrastructure development, which has increased the demand for cement and ready-mix concrete. PT XYZ, one of the largest ready-mix concrete producers in Indonesia, is committed to creating a safe working environment to achieve the zero harm target. This study aimed to explore safety climate dimensions and compare safety climate perceptions between operational-level workers and management-level employees at PT XYZ. This cross-sectional study used an online questionnaire adopted from previous Safety Climate Survey studies. A total of 269 respondents participated in this study. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and an independent t-test to compare the mean scores between job position groups. Respondents were predominantly male (92%), aged <40 years (80%), and in operational-level positions (79%). Overall, the safety climate at PT XYZ was categorized as good, with an average score of 4.10 on a 0–6 scale. The highest-scoring dimensions were Safety Training (4.80) and Management Commitment (4.30), while the lowest-scoring dimension was Supportive Environmental (3.54). The independent t-test showed a significant difference between management-level employees and operational-level workers (p=0.00620), with the management group having a higher mean score (4.15) compared to the operational group (4.06). The safety climate at PT XYZ was generally categorized as good; however, improvement is still needed in the supportive environmental dimension. The significant difference in safety climate perceptions between job position groups indicates the need for more effective safety communication and education approaches from management to operational workers to improve safety perceptions across all organizational levels.

Bahasa Abstract

Pemerintah Indonesia saat ini memprioritaskan pembangunan infrastruktur yang berdampak pada meningkatnya permintaan semen dan beton siap pakai. PT XYZ sebagai salah satu produsen beton siap pakai terbesar di Indonesia berkomitmen untuk menciptakan lingkungan kerja yang aman guna mencapai target zero harm. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi dimensi iklim keselamatan dan membandingkan persepsi iklim keselamatan antara kelompok pekerja level pelaksana dan level manajemen di PT XYZ. Penelitian ini merupakan studi potong lintang (cross-sectional) menggunakan kuesioner daring yang diadopsi dari studi Safety Climate Survey sebelumnya. Jumlah responden dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 269 orang. Data dianalisis menggunakan metode univariat dan uji t independen untuk membandingkan nilai rata-rata antara kelompok posisi kerja. Responden didominasi oleh laki-laki (92%), berusia <40 tahun (80%), dan berada pada posisi pelaksana (79%). Secara keseluruhan, iklim keselamatan di PT XYZ tergolong baik dengan nilai rata-rata 4,10 (skala 0–6). Dimensi dengan nilai tertinggi adalah Safety Training (4,80) dan Management Commitment (4,30), sedangkan dimensi dengan nilai terendah adalah Supportive Environmental (3,54). Hasil uji t menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan signifikan antara kelompok manajemen dan pelaksana (p=0,00620), dengan nilai rata-rata kelompok manajemen lebih tinggi (4,15) dibandingkan kelompok pelaksana (4,06). Iklim keselamatan di PT XYZ secara umum berada pada kategori baik, namun masih diperlukan peningkatan pada dimensi dukungan lingkungan kerja. Perbedaan persepsi yang signifikan antar kelompok posisi kerja menunjukkan perlunya pendekatan komunikasi dan edukasi keselamatan yang lebih efektif dari manajemen kepada pekerja pelaksana guna meningatkan persepsi keselamatan di seluruh lini organisasi.
