“…APD merupakan alat yang wajib digunakan saat bekerja sesuai kebutuhan untuk menjaga keselamatan pekerja itu sendiri dan orang di sekitarnya. APD sangat penting untuk mencegah kecelakaan karena dapat membantu melindungi penggunanya dari bahaya fisik atau kimia yang dapat menyebabkan cedera atau bahkan kematian (Husni, 2019;Husna et al, 2020). Proses mesin bubut melibatkan pemotongan, pemilihan, dan penyelesaian bahan dengan menggunakan alat pemotong yang tajam.…”

The machining process in PT. SPPA is still carried out conventionally, especially in the idler rebuilding process. There are found work accidents that result in work-related illnesses. In preventing accidents, it is necessary to do risk management efforts. Therefore it is necessary to conduct research by integrating FMEA and TOPSIS for risk management strategies in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS). The FMEA method is used to identify risks and assess the level of risk based on severity, ooccurrence and detection. Furthermore, the TOPSIS method is used to determine the order of priority for improvement to overcome existing risks. The results showed that there were 17 risks in machining activities with a lathe where the risks with the highest RPN value were experiencing pain or muscle cramps when setting up the lathe, experiencing noise during the lathe process, and exposure to chips from the lathe process. Furthermore, each risk is investigated using the 5 Whys method to determine the root causes of the problems, and it was found that the causes of these risks were low-quality work equipment, lack of training, socialization or briefings on OHS, and the high cost of providing adequate PPE. Based on these issues, a priority list of recommendations for improvement is compiled using the TOPSIS method, including routine equipment condition checks, providing SOPs for equipment use, providing appropriate PPE for each job, providing training for employees, allowing adequate rest time, and providing high-quality work equipment.

“…Compliance of a welder to OSH standards is one way of combating welding hazards and the negative health outcomes curbed mainly through administrative measures like welder on-job training, working in shifts, and use of standard Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) such as welding helmets, gloves, overalls, goggles & footwear [19] as modeled by CDC [20]. Although the above has been well done in developed countries [21], welders in low and middleincome countries (LMIC) still lack employer supervision [22], OSH awareness [22], accessibility to PPEs [23], knowledge on the importance of PPE utilization, and availability of OSH training institutes. Kampala, the capital city of Uganda is composed of various informal metal welding workshops most of them located within residents.…”

Background Compliance with Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Standards among welders is one way of reducing global injuries and health costs while improving industrial productivity and Uganda’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Addressing the occupational injury burden requires understanding contextual factors for compliance with occupational safety and health standards. This study focused to determine compliance levels with (sections 35 and 36) of the Uganda OSH Act, 2006 among Kampala welders, and the associated factors. Methodology: A cross-sectional mixed-methods study design was used. A sample of 425 welders was selected using simple random sampling and interviewed face-to-face in the five divisions of Kampala Capital City. The study was supplemented with 5 Key Informants purposively selected from the OSH Department, Ministry of Gender Labor and Social Development (MGLSD), and the divisions in Kampala. Quantitative data was entered and cleaned in Stata 14; Association was measured using prevalence risk ratio estimates with a generalized linear model. Adjusted Prevalence Ratios (APR) were used as measures of association under 95% CI and 5% level of significance. Qualitative data were transcribed and analyzed thematically. Results The level of compliance to sections 35 and 36 was below the permissible level of 100% established by the MGLSD; nearly three quarters, 303/425 (71.29%) complied with PPE use (section 35) and less than half, 154/425 (36.24%) complied with incident documentation and reporting (section 36). Factors for compliance with Section 35 included; welders’ residence (Makindye), (APR = 1.33, 95% CI; 1.12–1.59), marital status: (APR = 1.37, 95% CI; 1.17–1.61), electric shocks in the last 6months: (APR = 1.18, 95% CI; 1.05–1.32), involvement in hazard analysis: (APR = 1.41, 95% CI; 1.25–1.58), safety knowledge: (APR = 1.26, 95% CI; 1.11–1.43), having supervisors in place: (APR = 0.86, 95% CI;0.76–0.98) and Section 36; welders’ residence (Makindye), (APR = 0.25, 95% CI; 0.23–0.75), > 6years welding experience: (APR = 0.44, 95% CI;0.21–0.96), and having OSH Policies in place: (APR = 3.61, 95% CI; 2.07–6.28). Conclusion Although welders’ compliance levels with PPE ranked above average but below that required my MGLSD, some welders had gotten used to the practice of working in risky environments without wearing full PPE, with reasons for not affording them. They lacked Incident documentation and thus needed support supervision from MGLSD.

PurposeThis study aims to explore the tower crane safety factors (TCSFs) that influence tower crane safe operations (TCSOs) in modular integrated construction (MiC). It evaluates how the adoption of these factors contributes to achieving TCSOs and promoting sustainable practices (SPs) within MiC.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve this aim, the study employed a systematic search to ensure a comprehensive collection of variables. Additionally, it conducted a questionnaire survey involving professionals and utilized a brainstorming technique to categorize the different variables. Finally, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to test the relationship between TCSOs and SPs.FindingsThe results of measurement models indicated strong convergent and discriminant validity, with each observed variable correlating well with its latent variable. Moreover, a significant positive correlation between TCSOs and SPs was evidenced by a path coefficient (β = 0.755) and a p-value of <0.05. Lastly, the structural model revealed that the independent variables strongly influence the dependent variable (i.e. SPs) by 57%, underscoring safety's pivotal role in advancing sustainability within MiC projects. These findings provide empirical evidence that improving tower crane safety can directly enhance sustainable practices, offering a dual benefit of increased safety and sustainability for the construction sector.Originality/valueThis study makes a unique and previously undiscovered contribution to the field by identifying the TCSFs in MiC and employing a novel approach by utilizing PLS-SEM to create a unique mathematical model. It offers valuable insights into the relationship between TCSFs, TCSOs and SPs, thus contributing to methodological advancements within Safety Science and providing a foundation for future research and practical implementation in the construction industry.
