Analysis of Application of K3 in Cable Factories

Abstract

K3 does not only cover occupational safety and health but also covers worker welfare, worker welfare is one of the most important things for workers and companies. Well-being refers to the conditions and working environment that are supportive, physical, emotional and mental health of employees in a company. Worker welfare includes safety and health. In this era of globalization and industrialization, occupational safety and health are absolute things that companies must fulfill for their workers. Based on the results of the research, the implementation of K3 at PT Walsin Lippo Industries, Cikarang is one of the attitudes and behaviors of workers who are reluctant to use complete personal protective equipment provided by the company. Many workers neglect the safety equipment provided by the company to prevent work accidents. The reason is that workers feel uncomfortable when using personal protective equipment, so workers do not want to use personal protective equipment in its entirety. In fact, personal protective equipment or PPE is equipment that must be used when working according to the hazards and risks of work to maintain the safety of the workers themselves and those around them. The correct use of PPE in accordance with occupational safety standards such as the use of Safety Shoes, Gloves, Hats, Earplugs, Safety Glasses, and also masks is considered too complicated so that it causes discomfort at work.
