ANALISIS FAKTOR-FAKTOR RISIKO PADA PEKERJA DI SEKTOR PERTAMBANGAN

Abstract

The number of work accidents in Indonesia is still quite high and continues to increase almost every year. The mining sector is considered an important component for the world to gain profits as a source of state income.  Mining is one of the largest industries in the world, with great risks and a significant possibility of failure in its operations.  The aim of this research is to analyze and identify risk factors that can affect the health and safety of workers in the mining industry. The main focus of this research is to classify various risk factors into three parts, namely human factors, equipment factors and environmental factors. The methodology used in this research is a systematic literature review, which includes analysis of various academic sources and related case studies. Based on the findings of this research, it was found that human factors such as (unsafe actions), lack of worker education, age factors, the attitude of workers who do not use PPE, and lack of training and work experience are the main factors causing work accidents among workers in the mining sector. After that, it is followed by equipment factors such as the use of equipment that is not well maintained and equipment that is not suitable for use. And finally environmental factors related to poor ventilation, lack of lighting, extreme weather and exposure to dangerous toxic gases. It is hoped that this research can provide important information and insight into the mining sector to improve worker safety and health and prevent similar disasters from occurring in the future.
