Only an objective knowledge of safety and health at work reality on the harbor platform and an active participation of all stakeholders (employers, unions, workers) can bring an improvement in this activity. The prevention of accidents at work by ensuring safe and healthy working conditions and maintaining the Occupational Safety and Health Management system are factors that continuously develop and improve safety performance by helping to actively manage risks. This paper aims to systematize the information available, both at European and national level so as to develop a strategy at the organizational level that can be included in a guide to optimal safety and health practices for harbor operations. The paper also proposes relevant practical aspects of safety and health at work in the activities carried out in the loading and unloading flow in / from the port of the ship, trying to support the knowledge and understanding of identification, assessment and prevention of specific risks.

One of the tools that can help smooth OSH monitoring and reporting activities at PLN is an information technology-based application called Inspekta. The purpose of this study is to determine and evaluate the use of information technology in relation to unsafe conditions, unsafe behavior (unsafe action), near misses, accidents and occupational diseases. The research method used in this research is observation, interviews and data analysis (documents). From the results of the research that has been done, it is found that the Inspecta application provides benefits in building awareness and monitoring as well as OHS reporting. The Inspekta application still needs to be optimized and developed again to make it more efficient and effective.  Keywords: Inspekta application, information technology, K3 ABSTRAK Sebagai institusi yang memiliki komitmen untuk menerapkan Sistem Manajemen Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja  (SMK3) sesuai Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 50 tahun 2012, PLN Unit Pelaksana Pendidikan dan Pelatihan (UPDL) Semarang secara terus menerus melakukan perbaikan (continuous improvement) baik terhadap proses kerja, infrastruktur, kompetensi personil, metode kerja, dan sumber-sumber daya lain yang dapat mendukung pencapaian kinerja Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja (K3) maupun kinerja Perusahaan.
