Abstract

Fabrication and construction services work need a serious attention since there are probabilities of a near miss accidentonits activities. According to the worker accident data in PT. Lintech Duta Pratama in 2014, there is 22 cases of minor accident and none of the major accident or the one which causes death in workers. The annual occurrence of those accidents is caused by a number of the near miss accident and potentially can cause losses for both the company and the workers. This research analyzes the correlation between individual characteristic {age, working period, gender, education background, and the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) training}, working fatigue, OHS motivation, and the supervisor’s monitoring with the near miss accident in PT. Lintech Duta Pratama Surabaya. This research is quantitative, using cross-sectional analysis from December 2016 to January 2017. The observation result of 15 workers of fabrication production unit shows that there is 50% who fall into the category of near miss accident. The amount of respondent used as a sample in this research is 88 workers. From the bivariate analysis, this research determines the correlation between individual characteristic (age, working period, gender, education background, and OHS training), working fatigue, OHS motivation, and the supervisor’s monitoring with the near miss accident. The result of binary logistic regression analysis with stepwise backward method indicates that there is a correlation between "age" with the occurrence of near miss accident, but it is insignificant (P - value 0.942); there is a correlation between work term with the near miss accident, but it is insignificant (P - value 0.799); there is a correlation between education background with near miss accident, but insignificant (P-value 0,644); there is a correlation between OHS training with the occurrence of near miss accident, but it is insignificant(P -value 0,890); there is a correlation between, K3 training with the occurrence of near miss accident, but it is insignificant(P -value 0,890);there is a correlation between working fatigue with the occurrence of near miss accident, but it is insignificant(P -value 0,890);there is a correlation between supervisor’s monitoring with the occurrence of near miss accident, but it is insignificant(P -value 0,035).
