access that is difficult to pass, making this oil palm
plantation in remote areas. This resulted in many
dangers that threatened workers who worked in the
middle of the garden. Based on research in South
Kalimantan, oil palm plantations do not provide
workers with adequate equipment. At the initial entry,
workers are equipped with equipment including
goggles, boots, helmets, and masks. According to the
statement of laborers found in the field, this
equipment cannot last long with heavy terrain in the
middle of oil palm plantations. In the oil palm
plantation industry there are several main parts of
work, the first of which is part of harvesters.
Harvesters are laborers who are tasked with
harvesting oil palm fruit from the tree. In carrying out
their duties, workers in this section must cut bunches
of oil palm from their trees using dodos.
According to World Health Organization
(WHO) data, Work Accidents are getting higher and
higher, especially in developing countries such as
Asia, Africa, Central America and Latin America, but
these developing countries account for only 43% of
total work accidents worldwide. Even though these
developing countries only use 43%, 99% of deaths
occur in occupational accidents in the region. This is
due to the low level of education of employees in
these countries so that the way to work is very unsafe.
Data from the United Nations Environment Program
(UN) estimates that there are 4 million people
working in several companies in developing countries
where workplace accidents occur and around 18,000
of them die each year. (WHO, 2016).
The Managing Social Security Agency noted
the number of occupational accidents in Indonesia
tends to continue to increase. The total number of
work accidents in 2016 with a claim value of only
more than Rp 792 billion, while work accidents in
2017 increased more by 123 thousand cases with a
claim value of more than Rp 971 billion and in 2018
reached 173,105 cases with Work Accident
Guarantee claims of Rp 1.2 trillion.
Based on data from BPJS Employment of Aceh
Province in 2016, there have been work accidents as
many as 105,182 cases and in 2017 as many as 80,392
cases. Whereas in 2018 there were 157,313 cases. The
causes of work accidents are not yet optimal OHS
supervision and implementation as well as OHS
behavior in the workplace.
Based on work accident data from South West
Aceh, work accident cases in 2016 there were 86
people died due to work accidents, in 2017 there were
87, and in 2018 there were 9 people who died due to
work accidents and in 2018 decreased (BPJS
Employment , 2019)
Errors caused by workers and due to unnatural
attitudes such as being too brave, careless, ignoring
instructions, neglect, daydreaming, not cooperating,
and impatient. Unsafe actions are failures (human
failure) in following the requirements and correct
work procedures that cause work accidents, such as:
actions without qualifications and authority, lack ofor
not using personal protective equipment, failure to
save equipment, working at a speed that dangerous,
failure to warn, avoid or move work safety
equipment. Accidents occur because of actions that
are one of the unsafe conditions in the form of
dangerous machines, noise and vibration, materials
that harm the lungs, eyes and skin, physical injuries
and stress, limited workplace, slipping, tripping
falling and falling on the goods. (Winarsunu, 2010).
Occupational safety and health are those related
to equipment, workplace & the environment, as well
as ways of doing work. As well as the meaning and
purpose of occupational safety and health is to
guarantee the condition, wholeness & perfection both
physically and spiritually of humans as well as the
work & culture, aimed at the welfare of society in
general and humans in particular.
Work accidents can be caused by environmental and
human conditions. Hazard factors caused by working
environment conditions include:
1. Physical factors, for example: lighting, sound,
radiation, temperature, humidity and air pressure.
2. Chemical factors, for example: gas, steam, dust,
fog, smoke, clouds, liquid, fly ash and solid
objects.
3. Biological factors, for example: viruses and
bacteria both from plants or animals.
4. Ergonomic or physiological factors, for example,
machine construction, attitude and work methods.
And
5. Mental - psychological factors, for example, work
atmosphere, relations between workers and
employers
Safety is not only the supervision of the
equipment, but more important is the human or
workforce. This is done because humans are the most
important factor in a work process in progress,
accidents often occur at the workplace both serious
accidents and minor accidents. However, the accident
was not reported and did not get a handler on the
grounds that it was not a serious health problem and
was considered not to reduce work productivity.
Besides that, from observations there are many other
sources of hazards that can cause workplace accidents
seen from the type of work that has the potential to
cause work accidents, the most fundamental thing
potential for workplace accidentsis human factors,
