Abstract

Introduction: PT PLN (Persero), a state-owned enterprise dedicated to the provision and distribution of electrical energy in Indonesia, operates in environments characterized by substantial risks. The Technical Services (Yantek) department, which handles tasks involving high voltage electricity, elevated heights, unpredictable weather, natural conditions, and substantial workloads, is particularly susceptible to these hazards. Notably, Yantek work is a significant contributor to the incidence of occupational accidents within PT PLN (Persero). Method: This study aims to identify the factors influencing Yantek Officers' adherence to safe working behaviors. The variables examined as potential determinants of safe behavior include Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) policy, OHS supervision, workload, OHS promotion, relationships with coworkers, and motivation as an intervening variable. Result: The study involved 270 Yantek workers, selected through proportional random sampling from various PLN locations. The findings revealed that factors significantly influencing safe work behavior among workers include OHS policy (p value=0.000), OHS promotion (p-value=0.000), and relationships with coworkers (p-value=0.000). These significant relationships were observed when the independent variables were directly linked to safe work behavior. Conclusion: It is recommended that PT PLN (Persero) enhance the promotion and socialization of OHS policies to workers, including providing education regarding the company’s OHS directives to ensure their proper implementation by employees. Additionally, the company should consistently motivate workers to engage in safe behavior by fostering a culture where coworkers act as motivators, reminding each other to avoid unsafe behaviors and conditions.
