Analysis of occupational health and safety through hazard and operability study (HAZOP) method with ranking system from OHS risk assessment and control

The aim of this research was to assess risks originating from potential hazards, specifically focusing on the workshop environment of PT. Agro Wira Ligatsa. The study employed an observational approach within the workshop, coupled with direct interviews with employees and on-site documentation. The systematic method used was HAZOP, which systematically identifies causal factors that may lead to workplace accidents, evaluates negative consequences arising from irregularities, and offers recommendations or actions to mitigate the impact of potential risks. The outcomes revealed that worker attitudes play a crucial role. Risks falling into the high-risk category accounted for 38% and encompassed activities such as Welding, Turning, Electrical Panels, Foreign Objects in the Work Area, and Cables. Risks classified as moderate comprised 7% and included Floor Conditions, Hand Grinders, Grinding Machines, Chainsaws, Drilling Machines, Hand Drills, and Pulleys. In light of these findings, it’s imperative to establish standardized occupational safety and health (K3) procedures while emphasizing the utilization of personal protective equipment (PPE) as preventive measures to curtail the likelihood of workplace accidents.
