The application of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is essential in vocational institutions that have a high risk of accidents. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the application of OSH in the Electrical Laboratory of Subang State Polytechnic using a qualitative descriptive method through observation and interviews. The results of this study indicate that aspects of the application of the standard Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and the use of practical work standards have a score of 66.25% and 62.5%, respectively. Meanwhile, the application of room standards seen from the four main indicators, namely furniture, equipment, educational media, and supporting equipment obtained a total score of 91% (high feasibility). In conclusion, the application of the PPE standard and practical work standard must be considered in detail to improve the overall OSH score.

Implementation according to the rules of occupational safety and health is needed in all jobs that are useful to avoid things that are not desirable, such as work accidents. The workforce consists of educated and trained people. One of the educated people referred to is the D-IV and DP-III graduates of the Makassar Shipping Polytechnic, because one of the fillers in the world of work is the Polytechnic graduate. The learning process while in the laboratory must be a serious concern in order to get qualified prospective workers, especially understanding about the application of occupational safety and health (K3) especially the use of personal protective equipment so that there are no direct or indirect obstacles in the work, such as work accidents occur, damage to machinery, cessation of production processes, environmental damage and expenses related to work accidents. The purpose of this research is to find out the availability and analyze the application of personal protective equipment to occupational safety and health in the workshop. This research includes the type of survey research with quantitative methods. This design seeks to determine the PPE facilities available at the Workshop, symbols / cues about occupational safety and health, the conditions of the practice room and what percentage of PPE use by cadets during practice. The data collection method is done by using a questionnaire and documentation used to determine PPE facilities available in the Workshop, symbols / cues about occupational safety and health, the conditions of the practice room and what percentage of the use of PPE cadets during practice. The conclusion is that the personal protective equipment (PPE) facilities in the workshop have been provided by the workshop and can be used by cadets or pasis and safely in accordance with government regulations, and the knowledge, understanding and application of cadets towards PPE have reached an average of 95%

The aim of this chapter was to explore a sociotechnical systems approach applying a novel taxonomy with respect to safety performance. The study applied a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Workers (n = 120) and managers (n = 85) were asked to complete a questionnaire survey (Appendix). The following hypotheses were supported: “Activities of the management” had positive impacts on five aggregated variables, namely “near-accident investigation and instructions” (H1), “occupational safety and health (OSH) training” (H2), “operations, technical processes, and the safe use of chemicals” (H3), “use of personal protective equipment” (H4), and “measuring, follow-up, and prevention of major accidents” (H5). By undertaking a statistical evaluation and then devising a novel taxonomy, it was possible to gain detailed insights into diverse aspects of a high-risk industry's work with regard to complex sociotechnical systems. When applying the current approach through participatory cooperation, organizations may acquire new perspectives on their safety performance.

The nationwide opioid crisis continues to affect not only people who use opioids but also communities at large by increasing the risk of accidental occupational exposure to illicit opioids. In addition, the emergence of highly potent synthetic opioids such as fentanyl and carfentanil increases the need to protect workers who may encounter unknown drug substances during job activities. To support the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Opioids Research Gaps Working Group, we examined the state of the literature concerning methods to protect workers against accidental occupational exposure to illicit opioids, and have identified unmet research needs concerning personal protective equipment, decontamination methods, and engineering controls. Additional studies are needed to overcome gaps in technical knowledge about personal protective equipment, decontamination, and control methods, and gaps in understanding how these measures are utilized by workers. Increasing our knowledge of how to protect against exposure to illicit opioids has the potential to improve occupational health across communities.

Occupational Safety and Health is the primary means of prevention of occupational accidents, disabilities and deaths so that the consequences of occupational accidents from potential hazards can be prevented. Companies need to develop risk management based on hazard identification and risk assessment compiled in occupational safety and health programs. Occupational health and safety risk management is an effort of hazard management which potentially pose a risk to safety and health to prevent unwanted accident. The data collected in this research is primary data and secondary data. Primary data obtained through direct observation on the floor processing RSS (Ribbed Smoke Sheet) at PT. PQR is useful to observe the potential hazards of work contained in the work area. While the secondary data taken in this study is historical data. The result of determining the risk value for each hazard source contained in PT. PQR is classified by rankings marked with the code E (extreme risk), H (high risk), M (moderate risk), and L (low risk). This is obtained by comparing the severity and probability values of each process / activity. Of the 28 activities, there are 7 activities included in the category of high risk. Process / activity that belonged to high risk is necessary to control to minimize or even eliminate the existing risks. control measures that can be performed on a high risk process / activity is to use a complete Personal Protective Equipment (APD), MSDS, using warning signs, using ladders in sheet sheets, with ergonomic work posture.Factors causing potential work hazards are workers who perform activities of inadvertent, high temperatures, and negligence of workers in using PPE. These control measures are expected to reduce and even eliminate the risk of the process / activity classified as high risk so that the number of workplace accidents can be reduced.

The issue of occupational safety and health of the members of fire and rescue units has been continuously studied by numerous authors. Their interest stems from the constant need to improve the methods and procedures of occupational safety and health assessments for fire and rescue unit members, all for the purpose of preventing injuries, primarily the fatal ones. The fact that a certain number of high-risk situations in which firefighters avoid an injury or death remain unreported poses a serious threat to the firefighters’ safety. This threat has been unjustifiably neglected and it is what motivated the research discussed in this paper, which reveals the results of three discriminant analyses.
