ASSESSMENT SAFETY MATURITY LEVELS FOR DEVELOPING A SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN MINING OPERATIONS PT. XYZ

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of occupational accidents at PT XYZ between 2019 and 2021, revealing a concerning increase from 31 accidents in 2019 to 39 in 2020 and further escalating to 62 in 2021. In response, a Safety Culture Maturity Level Assessment was conducted, involving 550 questionnaire responses from a sample of 320 employees. After an extensive manual selection process with 264 initial respondents and supervision by unit supervisors to ensure accuracy, the Safety Culture Maturity Level Framework was developed. It includes critical dimensions such as Worker Participation, Unit Work Leader Accountability, Accident Analysis and Statistics, Work-Related Diseases, Occupational Disease Incidents, Hazardous Incidents, and Implemented Control Measures. The achieved score of 83% signifies PT XYZ's commitment to a proactive safety approach, yet continuous improvement remains essential for sustained safety excellence. The subsequent enhancement of safety program implementation has significantly impacted the elevation of the safety maturity level, originally categorized as proactive with a score of 83%. By designing programs based on the SMART principles (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound), the organization has successfully elevated the Safety Maturity Level to 92%, transitioning its category to resilient.
