ABSTRACT

Construction projects still experience a high rate of work accidents despite prior research on occupational safety and health's impact on worker performance. This study aims to analyze the variables that influence Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) policies for enhanced performance of construction workers in Palangka Raya City and build a regression model of the influence of OHS policies on worker performance. Data were collected through literature studies and questionnaires, then analyzed with various statistical methods. The benefits of this research are to reduce the number of work accidents and improve the application of OHS. The literature study identified four variables: Occupational Safety, Occupational Health, OHS Regulations and Procedures, and Implementation of Health Protocols - which were broken down into 39 factors that affect worker performance. The regression model indicates that occupational safety and health policies have a positive impact on worker performance, showing that Occupational Safety, Occupational Health, OHS Regulations and Procedures, and Implementation of Health Protocols are crucial factors. Moreover, the better implementation of these policies leads to improved performance. The most influential variables on worker performance based on the Standardized Coefficient Beta value are Implementation of Health Protocols (94.8%), OHS Regulations and Procedures (18.2%), Occupational Safety (10.9%), and Occupational Health (5.9%).
