Abstract

The manufacturing industry is crucial to Indonesia's economy but is also associated with high workplace accident rates. PT Giken Precision Indonesia has implemented an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SMK3), yet compliance and awareness of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) usage in the molding division remain low. This non-compliance poses a risk of workplace accidents, potentially endangering workers and impacting productivity. This study seeks to identify the factors contributing to non-compliance with PPE usage in the molding department of PT Giken Precision Indonesia. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research involves interviews and direct observations of 78 workers who were non-compliant with PPE usage. The findings reveal three key factors: Predisposing Factors, where workers have adequate knowledge but low awareness of PPE importance, especially among those with over two years of service and a high school education; Enabling Factors, including limited PPE availability and ineffective training; and Reinforcing Factors, such as insufficient supervision and weak enforcement of sanctions.
