Abstract:
Accident risks in steel production or fabrication activities, which involve
extensive use of production machines and magnetic cranes, have the
potential to cause serious injuries or fatalities. These risks can result from
machine failure, being struck by heavy materials, direct contact with
rotating machinery, exposure to high temperatures generated by machines,
or contact with scrap steel surfaces. When a workplace accident occurs, the
company must identify the root cause to minimize the likelihood of a similar
incident happening again. According to company data, the number of
workplace accidents increased from January to October 2023. Therefore,
this research aims to determine the priority for addressing workplace
accidents and preventing future incidents in the production process at the
Steel Manufacturing Company. The study analyzes workplace accidents at
PT. XYZ using Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) to identify the
priority areas for accident prevention and handling. Based on FMEA
analysis and Risk Priority Number (RPN) calculation, three high-priority
work accidents were obtained, namely a right shoulder fracture with RPN
45, the right index finger caught in a crane magnet with RPN 36, and the
left leg caught in material with RPN 32. For work accidents that have not
yet occurred, an analysis is carried out using HAZOP (Hazard and
Operability Study) to prevent accidents from occurring in three production
processes, namely cutting, machining, and operating magnetic cranes.
Efforts made to prevent accidents from recurring include holding monthly
safety talks, putting up posters about the impact of work accidents, patrols
by supervisors or production leaders during the production process, periodic
socialization of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), reminders of work
standards by group leaders before activities begin, and implementing 5K
running activities after work. After increasing hazard monitoring from
November 2023 to February 2024, the results of the hazard identification
and risk control documents showed a decrease in the number of work
accidents to 0.
