Employee safety behaviour in the workplace is crucial in approaching towards safety compliance and safety performance indicators. The main objective was to test the safety behaviour of the workers. Data were collected throughout the warehousing processes of a multinational electronics manufacturer in Malaysia. A questionnaire has been filled-up by the warehousing employees. This study proposes the theory of planned behaviour were to explain the linkage between customer - vendor partnership and safety behaviour. Respondents were questioned partnership with its customers to systematically improve safety behaviour. Usually most of the occupational accident or disease took place in the material handling operations and activities with cargo interface. The findings of this study show that customer-vendor partnership has a significant and positive relationship on safety behaviour. This approach to be examined for improved safety ownership and the possibility that enhancements would become an essential part of the vendor's processes, systems, and culture. This customer-vendor partnership approach will develop safety improvements for next heights of success. SPSS was applied for processing the data.

Work Accidents

Occupational Safety and Health (K3) is the main means for the prevention of workplace accidents, disabilities, and deaths for employees. One way to identify hazards is to use a work safety analysis or better known as the Job Safety Analysis (JSA), which can examine work methods and find hazards from the design of machines, tools, materials, environment, and work processes needed for workers to prevent interference with work safety. This study aims to analyze and determine the implementation of Job Safety Analysis (JSA) to reduce the number of work accidents at PT. Geoservices Sangatta. Job Safety Analysis (JSA) (X) is used as an independent variable while Work Accident (Y) is the dependent variable. Primary data obtained through interviews directly with 5 employees of PT. Geoservices Sangatta. Secondary data obtained through data that is already available at PT. Geoservices Sangatta. The results showed that in the process of carrying out the work of PT. Geoservices Sangatta had made a policy that was committed to implementing occupational safety and health, as well as identifying hazards and prevention at each stage of the job namely by Job Safety Analysis (JSA). The implementation of Job Safety Analysis (JSA) at PT. Geoservices Sangatta can reduce the number of work accidents as seen from the decreasing number of work accidents that occurred at PT. Geoservices Sangatta in early 2020, although in the implementation there are still some lacking especially in the implementation of safety talk which only runs documents or administration, in practice, they are not routinely carried out. PT. Geoservices Sangatta should follow up with the socialization of Job Safety Analysis (JSA) procedures to all employees, one of which is by conducting training on occupational safety and health so that all employees truly understand and realize how important K3 is to employee safety and health.

Safety And Health

We designed a safety and health curriculum for dairy immigrant workers aiming to increase knowledge, encourage safe behavior, and reduce worker communication inequalities to prevent occupational injury and diseases. The design is largely based on the Taxonomy of Significant Learning and incorporated behavioral and adult learning theories and principles of occupational hazard control. Trainings were implemented with 836 Spanish-speaking workers from 67 farms in Wisconsin. Sixty-seven percent of workers reported never being trained before in dairy safety, 65% of these worked in dairy for 5 or fewers years, and 26% of workers reported being ever injured while working on dairy. Quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the trainings suggest that our curriculum successfully increased worker knowledge and promoted contemplation of safe practices. The overall knowledge gain of 25% was statistically significant ( p < .01). Workers recalled at least one key concept, expressed confidence of adopting at least one safety behavior, and mentioned their intention to communicate safety concerns to farmers. To our knowledge, this is the first Taxonomy of Significant Learning application to occupational safety and health education. Our curriculum can support dairy farmers’ compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s annual training requirements by providing our basic safety and health training to workers at early job stages.
