Dealing with Occupational Health and Safety Practices Using JSA with HIRARC Method

Abstract

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) remains a pressing issue in high-risk environments, where incidents such as electric shocks and falls. The PLN Ampenan Substation, a critical facility within Lombok's power distribution network, poses serious risks to workers’ safety. To address this, the study investigates the application of the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) method to identify workplace hazards and assess their effectiveness in reducing accidents. This study employs a combination of JSA and HIRARC (Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control) frameworks to address prevalent hazards involving exposure to high-voltage equipment and working at elevated positions. The implementation of JSA enabled the development of practical control measures, including improved use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), better compliance with safety protocols, and structured risk mitigation plans. This study not only reinforces the role of JSA in enhancing workplace safety but also serves as a reference for improving OHS practices in similar high-risk electrical installations.
