Abstract

Background: A safety management system is essential for implementation in the construction industry to manage safety at project sites. The sustainability of the running system can be assessed by analyzing the relationship between safety climate and safety behavior without having to wait for an accident to occur. Objective: To analyze the relationship between safety climate and safety behavior among workers at PLN PUSMANPRO in the PST JATENG I electrical construction project. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 120 workers at the PLN PUSMANPRO PST JATENG I Project. Primary data were obtained using a Likert scale questionnaire that referred to questionnaires from several previous studies on variables that had been tested for validity and reliability. Results: In the safety climate dimension, the results of the univariate analysis were mostly in the low category, and the bivariate analysis with p-value = 0.000 and correlation value of 0.402 indicated a positive and fairly strong relationship between safety climate and safety behavior. Conclusion: There is a fairly strong relationship between safety climate and safety behavior, so the implementation of occupational safety at PLN PUSMANPRO PST JATENG I to shape safety behavior among workers can be achieved through improving safety climate and providing facilities that support safety programs, which can reduce the occurrence of accidents on the project.

Bahasa Abstract

Latar Belakang: Sistem manajemen keselamatan sangat diperlukan untuk penerapan di industri konstruksi dalam mengelola keselamatan di site project. Keberlangsungan sistem yang berjalan dapat dinilai dengan menganalisis hubungan iklim keselamatan dengan perilaku keselamatan tanpa harus menunggu terjadinya kecelakaan. Tujuan: Menganalisis iklim keselamatan dengan perilaku keselamatan pada pekerja di PLN PUSMANPRO di project pembangunan kelistrikan PST JATENG I. Metode: Penelitian cross-sectional ini melibatkan 120 orang pekerja pada Project PLN PUSMANPRO PST JATENG I. Data primer diperoleh menggunakan kuesioner skala likert yang mengacu pada kuesioner dari beberapa penelitian sebelumnya pada variabel yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitas. Hasil: Pada dimensi iklim keselamatan hasil analisis univariat mayoritas berkategori rendah dan analisis bivariat dengan P value = 0,000 dan nilai correlation 0,402 yang merupakan hubungan positif dan cukup kuat antara iklim keselamatan dan perilaku keselamatan. Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan yang cukup kuat antara iklim keselamatan dengan perilaku keselamatan sehingga penerapan keselamatan kerja pada PLN PUSMANPRO PST JATENG I untuk membentuk perilaku keselamatan pada pekerja dapat melalui peningkatan iklim keselamatan serta fasilitas yang mendukung program keselamatan yang dapat mengurangi terjadinya kecelakaan pada proyek.
