The rapidly developing industrial sector has an impact on managing organizations to try to maximize all the resources they have [1]. Companies operating in the industrial sector cannot be separated from the role of technology in assisting their performance, so that employee supervision in order to remain controlled and under control really requires a strategy to maintain the quality of the company's productivity and performance in order to avoid work accidents. The International Labor Organization (ILO) calls on every company to form a strategy for implementing occupational health safety to control work accidents [1]. Increasing the implementation of good Occupational Health and Safety will result in a positive affair in the context of comprehensive company quality between job givers and recipients. ILO data shows that every year around the world almost 2,000,000 working people experience work accidents and die due to work accidents [1]. Of this number, 17 experienced fatal accidents that ended in death and each year this could increase by around 5-10 if there is no occupational safety and health strategy implemented in each organization [1].      Of this number, 17 experienced fatal accidents that ended in death and each year this could increase by around 5-10 if there is no occupational safety and health strategy implemented in each. The International Labor Organization has issued an appeal for every company to focus more on reducing the number of work accidents. through the implementation of occupational safety and health with the hope of zero work accidents [1]. To address the reduction in the number of work accidents to zero work accidents, every company must have a good strategy in implementing work safety and health [1]. Implementation of occupational safety and health is an approach related comprehensively to the implementation of ideas, interventions and implementation to create a healthy and safe work environment.

The implementation of good occupational safety and health aims to protect people in organizations, both employers (companies) and job recipients (employees) to create results that are beneficial to consumers.

The company's industrial sector is currently developing rapidly in the West Java region. West Java is blessed with abundant human resources in the industrial sector. West Java also has a high dependence on field industrial products as development capital. In the last four decades, the industrial sector has of course become one of the main sources of West Java's economy. Industries in the West Java region have a high risk of danger because management's work orientation certainly uses heavy work equipment. High dangers in industrial companies in the West Java region that can be experienced by workers include maintaining human electricity sources as the main actors so that they do not get injured or sick and maintaining electricity source facilities, namely facilities and infrastructure so that they are not damaged [2]. A preliminary survey study shows that the numerical data on work accidents in the form of mortal errors in the West Java region is around 2 per year.

The study explains that the results of a number of exploratory studies explore work accidents related to the implementation of occupational health safety [3]. Research explains that the implementation of occupational health safety in an organization cannot be separated from the incidence of work accidents [4]. The implementation of occupational health and safety in every company in the world is not high enough, ranging between 60-70 awareness per employee [4]. The preliminary survey study explains that the average work accident rate of 1-2 experienced workers is still in the high work accident rate category. Based on interviews, work accidents experienced by workers in the West Java region include employees falling, falling material or material being splashed in the production process.

Research also explains that the implementation of occupational health safety is also a strong factor related to work accidents [5]. The implementation of occupational health safety is a strong, correlated factor for companies free of work accidents [5]. Lay's research explains that the implementation of occupational health safety in companies in several developing countries is still not implemented optimally.

The application of numerical data on occupational safety and health in industrial companies by workers in the West Java region is still around 70 lum maximum. Research explains that the implementation of occupational health safety is closely related to work accidents [5]. Research explains that factors that have a strong relationship with work accidents include employees or workers' companies that have efforts to prevent and implement good occupational health safety [6]. The initial study explained that the implementation of the K3 system for workers was less than a maximum of 70. Based on the results of interviews, the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety for workers was not yet optimal, including the not yet optimal application of work protective equipment, work space safety, use of work equipment, health of the work space and lighting in the work space. The implementation of Occupational Health and Safety aims to minimize the possibility of work accidents or illness due to lack of focus or resulting in negligence, demotivation and lack of work productivity. One of the factors related to work accidents is the implementation of occupational safety and health. The implementation of occupational safety and health is something that every company needs to have, especially in the industrial sector. Maintenance of electrical power sources and facility power sources is carried out to prevent work accidents [7]. Work accidents are undesirable, unplanned or unexpected events that can cause losses, namely injuries to humans and damage to property [8]. Work accidents cause losses such as workers experiencing injuries, equipment damage, potential accidents and accidents occurring but not causing losses which are called near misses [8]. Work accidents in companies that cause injuries to people and equipment can cause environmental damage and business opportunities for companies [10].

Implementing occupational health safety is one of the efforts that workers and companies can take to prevent work accidents and occupational diseases [2]. One factor that is strongly related to work accidents is the implementation of occupational health safety [10]. Information obtained from workers in industrial companies is that work accidents still occur with occupational safety and health applications not being optimally available for workers in industrial companies in the West Java region. The implementation of occupational safety and health for workers in industrial companies in the West Java region has not shown good or maximum implementation of occupational health safety. The company strives to continue to reduce the number of work accidents with various innovations and good strategy implementation programs regarding the implementation of occupational safety and health. Based on a number of literatures, it is clear that the implementation of occupational safety and health is strongly correlated with the incidence or number of work accidents. In line with the literature explanation and background to the rediscovery above, the researcher is interested in conducting a study on the analysis of the implementation of occupational health safety and work accidents among industrial workers in companies in the West Java region.

Research Purposes

The aim of the research is to analyze the relationship between the implementation of occupational health safety and work accidents among industrial workers at companies in the West Java region.

Quantitative research method with a cross sectional approach. This research design emphasizes measuring or observing data on independent and dependent variables only once at a time [11]. Of course, not all subjects have to be observed on that day or at the same time, but the independent and dependent variables are only assessed once [11]. With this research, according toSugiyono [11] The prevalence or effect of a phenomenon (dependent variable) is found to be linked to a cause (independent variable). This analytical quantitative research design with a cross sectional approach is to see the relationship between the independent and dependent variables, namely the implementation of occupational safety and health variables and the work accident variable observed during work time simultaneously. The data collection technique is to distribute a questionnaire by filling in the answer choices in the form of a Likert scale consisting of a number of questions. This study was conducted in August-September 2023 at companies in the West Java region. The population in this study was 355 industrial workers at a company in the West Java region. The sampling technique was random sampling using the Lameshaw formula so that the total sample was 125 respondents.

Based on the research results in Table 1, it shows that the implementation of occupational health safety for industrial workers in companies in the West Java region shows that the majority of the implementation of occupational health safety is in the Good category at 63.2% and a small portion is in the low category at 36.8%.

Table 1: Frequency Distribution of Implementation of Occupational Health and Safety for Industrial Workers in Companies in the West Java Region

Based on the research results in Table 2, it shows that work accidents among industrial workers in companies in the West Java region show that almost half of the work accidents experienced incidents of 42.4% and the majority did not experience incidents of 57.6%.

Table 2: Frequency Distribution of Work Accidents among Industrial Workers in Companies in the West Java Region

The results of the research show that the majority of occupational safety and health applications are in the Good category at 62.4% and there is no experience of large occupational accidents at 56.8% among industrial workers in companies in the West Java region. The statistical test results obtained a p-value of 0.000 <α (0.05), so it can be concluded that there is a relationship between the implementation of occupational health safety and work accidents among industrial workers in companies in the West Java region (Table 3).

Occupational Health Safety Application for Industrial Workers in West Java Regional Companies 

Implementation of Occupational Health and Safety is the key to success in a company so that all work activities are safe [12]. Prasetyo  explains that the development of Occupational Health and Safety is very supportive in improving the safety and health of the work environment. According to Khotimah [13], the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety is all implementation activities to guarantee and protect the safety and health of workers through efforts to prevent work accidents and the consequences of occupational diseases. The results of this research show that the implementation of K3 among industrial workers in West Java Regional Companies is mostly in the good category at 63.2 and a small portion is in the low category at 36.8. This will of course have an impact on the safety and health of the company's work environment. The application of Occupational Health and Safety to workers who exceed the average or in the good category will trigger beliefs about the reasons for accidents, influence work pressure and the effectiveness of emergency procedures more positively [13]. Good implementation of K3 will create a conducive working atmosphere, while poor implementation of K3 will have the potential and result in work accidents [14]. Good implementation of Occupational Health Safety comes from workers' loyalty in using personal protective equipment (gloves, work uniforms, shoes and so on) when working [14]. According to Kurniasih and Rachmadita [14], to realize the implementation of good Occupational Health and Safety, a safe work space is needed, such as an area where work originates from buildings and facilities that are of good quality and are maintained regularly.

This, will support each job in a way that is protected and safe for the individual. The implementation of K3 is also often poor as a result of the work tools being used poorly or not being used properly by workers, such as not being stored in their place, maintenance after use to rejuvenation or procurement of tools that have not kept up with developments from time to time by the management. company [3]. Research by Asad et al [15] explains that the need for a healthy work space and a work area with sufficient lighting makes the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety run well. Cleanliness, humidity, noise and air are several factors in implementing Occupational Health Safety and Health [15]. Apart from that, a clear view of both natural lighting (solar ventilation) and quality spotlights will support work accuracy and clarity in every operational procedure carried out [15]. In line with the research results, the majority are in the good category which is obtained from aspects or dimensions of the use of work protective equipment, safe work spaces and use of work equipment. Industrial company workers in the West Java region are committed to faithfully using gloves, uniforms, shoes and so on. Apart from that, workers are facilitated by safe work in the space with routine maintenance and international quality materials as well as the use of work equipment such as storage and maintenance which is strictly carried out by each worker. Meanwhile, a small number of learning outcomes are in the low category from the unhealthy work space aspect. The recommendation for implementing Occupational Health and Safety to run well is to build high commitment with sanctions, rewards and supervision by company management and adapt it to the company's work culture. The implication for health, work safety and environmental management is that management needs to increase supervision in implementing K3 so that it can run well. Apart from that, appreciation for workers who implement good Occupational Health and Safety also needs to be given so that they can motivate and inspire other workers. Company management really needs to adapt ideal work equipment according to developing information systems and technology for the comfort, protection and safety of workers.

Work Accidents among Industrial Workers in West Java Regional Companies 

The situation in the world of work and companies is always under the control of the number or incidence of work accidents [16]. Work accidents are accidents that occur in the work relationship, including accidents that occur on the way from home to work or vice versa as well as illnesses caused by the work environment Asad et al [15]. Strengthening supervision, training, knowledge are things that ensure that work accidents do not occur [16]. The research results showed that almost half experienced a major event of 42.4 and most experienced a major event of 57.6. It seems that many industrial workers at West Java Regional Companies experience work accidents, but these do not end in death. The research results showed that almost half (42.4) experienced work accidents which included feelings of discomfort or pain after working due to incorrect positions or less ergonomic positions while working. Apart from that, many Indonesian workers also experience contamination of work materials, causing irritation, itching or other minor injuries. The incidence of work accidents experienced by Indonesian workers is quite large, but it is still mild and can be resolved quickly and is supported by good health service facilities provided by the company to overcome problems resulting from work accidents. Warsito and Wibowo's study [17] explains that to minimize work accidents, each worker must have preventative efforts independently and in synergy with the management of the implementing company [16]. Apart from that, according to Alves [4], the role of the supervisory function and safety culture needs to be the focus of the company so that potential work accidents can be prevented, reduced so that work accidents do not occur. The recommendation for achieving a reduction in work accidents is to build a safety culture, so that workers and companies have synergy in maintaining all aspects for comfort, safety and protection while working. The implication for health, work safety and environmental management is that management needs to concentrate highly on the worker supervision function to detect and respond to potential work accidents. Apart from that, the use of additions and development of information and technology support systems (CCTV, digital audio videotape information around the company, suggestion boxes or reporting via primer books or online-based links) for ease of control or monitoring is also needed to support minimizing work accidents, especially as a detector. and identification.

Connection of Occupational Health and Safety Applications with Work Accidents in Industrial Workers in Companies in the West Java Region

Based on the research results, it shows that there are around 80.9 workers whose K3 implementation is not good and experience work accidents. Meanwhile, the majority of workers (57.7) had good K3 implementation and did not experience work accidents. The research results show a p-value of 0.000, which means there is a relationship between the implementation of occupational health safety and work accidents among workers. This can also be interpreted as the higher the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety by workers, the smaller the number of natural work accidents. Work accidents have several related factors, one of which is the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety [18]. According to Asad [15] explains that work accidents can be minimized by workers implementing Occupational Health and Safety effectively and well. Wambulwa et al [19] also adds that there is a significant relationship between the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety and work accidents. Alves et al [4] states that The mechanism of work accidents is closely related to the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety that every worker in the company has. The research results are in line with a number of literature above stating that there is a relationship between the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety and work accidents. BelajarIqbal [18] explains that the relationship between the implementation of Occupational Health Safety and work accidents is through strengthening workers to be careful in using personal protective equipment when working such as gloves, head and foot protectors as well as work clothes or uniforms. However, in general there are still violations committed by workers because they forget or do not use a number of protective work equipment. In line with this research, the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety has been going well and in the dimension of personal protective equipment, there are still a number of workers who are not compliant in their use, so work accidents still occur. Asad et al's study [15] explains that the implementation of Occupational Health Safety includes personal protective equipment, safe work spaces, use of work equipment, healthy work spaces and work space lighting. The use of work equipment is a concern because many workers experience work accidents. Work accidents that occur due to a lack of tools, workers who are less skilled in using and maintaining each worker, causing performance deficiencies. In line with the research results, the incidence of work accidents has a close relationship with the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety on the dimensions of use of work tools in the questionnaire statement items, which is more or less good. As a result, workers experience work accidents related to the use of their work tools. Prasetyo's research [20] explains that Occupational Health and Safety accidents are related to the implementation of K3 in the dimensions of work space health and work space lighting. This often happens in every company when designing construction, they do not pay enough attention to circulation and ventilation, so that lighting and humidity or temperature are not good for the health and conduciveness of workers [12]. In line with the research results, the questionnaire statement items fading slightly. Good, a number of them include dimensions of an unhealthy work space and poor lighting in the work area, so that the potential for work accidents is caused by a lack of focus, accuracy and clear view of the work area during work. regional environment.

Research by Alves et al. [4] adds that work accidents are related to the implementation of K3 towards the dimensions of a safe work space. This often happens in every company that is less than ideal in providing quality work area tools or materials for reasons of cost efficiency, even work spaces that do not keep up with the times, resulting in reduced worker comfort [4]. In line with research results, there are work accidents that occur due to unsafe work spaces, such as poor quality and maintenance, which disrupts work ergonomics.

Recommendations from the results of this study are to maintain and improve the implementation of better K3 for workers with the progress of reducing the number of work accidents which is the application of sanctions and prices for workers so that workers who implement K3 can feel justice or balance from what exists. The program was created to encourage workers to build a work safety culture. The implication for health, work safety and environmental management is that management needs to increase supervision in implementing Occupational Health and Safety so that it runs well so that the number or incidence of work accidents can be minimized.

A good occupational health safety application will be able to finalize the number of work accidents among industrial workers in companies in the West Java region. It is hoped that workers need to improve their personal competence through training or attending factories regularly regarding the implementation of occupational safety and health to minimize work accidents. Apart from that, industrial companies in the West Java region need to utilize information and technology systems (CCTV, digital audio and videotape information as well as online-based suggestion or reporting boxes) to support worker monitoring functions to detect and identify potential work accidents. It is hoped that more research will be developed that is able to observe or explore the application of occupational health safety to minimize work accidents using qualitative study methods and identify other factors related to work accidents besides the application of occupational health safety.
