The total sample technique was used to get sample (n = 29). The result of this study is the correlation coefficient of employment status (r = 0.340), working shift (r = 0.446), knowledge (r= 0,394), Attitude (r= 0,215 ). From the result of correlation test, that is shown the work shift is stronger correlation than knowledge with the level of compliance behavior. From the result of regression test simultanly, that is showing the variables of working shift and knowledge were significant values. Then, the value of Pseudo R-Square, the variables of working shift andd knowledge is about 46,9%.. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>Work shift and knowledge have a correlation to the level of compliance behavior in using PPE, both in bivariate and multivariate test.
