Abstract

Work accidents according to Heinrich 88% are caused by human factors so that they can be prevented, so improving the behavior of workers becomes very important. The study was conducted on cadets post-sea practice, against the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). The research method was carried out quantitatively by distributing questionnaires to 150 people (75 cadets of nautica and 75 cadets of technics / machines). The results showed that the understanding of cadets on the function and usefulness of PPE when on board was relatively high (90% - 90.8%). However, the use of PPE on board is relatively low (83% - 84.8%). So it can be concluded that the understanding of cadets against PPE is high enough but still reluctant to use it completely and correctly. The reason they did not use, because PPE is not suitable to use due to poor maintenance. For that to the management of the ship to carry out routine maintenance, so that PPE can be used to the maximum extent possible.
