JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS AND DETERMINATION OF SAFETY STANDARDS OPERATION PROCEDURE TO REDUCE WORK ACCIDENTS IN A SUGAR INDUSTRY

Abstract

          This study is a research and development aimed 1) to analyze occupational hazards and determine of Safety Standards Operation Procedure, 2) to compare injury frequency rates, injury severity rate and compare accident statistics from the past with the present after implementing safety standards operation procedure. The study area was a special product packaging production process. The data was analyzed and presented using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The accident frequency decreased by 0.87 times per million working hours, and the accident severity decreased by 3.50 days per million working hours. The occupational safety performance score, when compared to the past, was -2.85, indicating a significantly higher current accident rate than in the past. The decreased accident statistics demonstrate that adherence to safe work practices can reduce the number and severity of work-related accidents. Companies should promote safety policies, emphasizing the ability of all workers to prevent accidents for themselves and their colleagues, and promoting a focus on workplace safety, leading to a sustainable safety culture.
