PT Wijaya karya Bangunan
Gedung Tbk. Halim High-Speed Train Project is a
company engaged in construction, investment, and concessions. Engaged in the
construction sector certainly has a high potential for danger and danger
factors. One of them was an accident caused by working at a height. Therefore,
it is important to control the danger of working at height to prevent and
control the danger of height. This study uses field observation methods,
literature studies, and interviews to determine how the hazard control program
works at height. The hazard control program for working at height at PT Wijaya
Karya Bangunan Gedung Tbk, Halim High-Speed Train Project has been by the
regulation of the Minister of Manpower No. 9 of 2016, among others. Fit to
work, toolbox meeting inspection, Scaffolding and Full Body
Harness. At PT Wijaya Karya Bangunan Gedung Tbk, The
halim high-speed train project has procedures related to the Control of work
hazards at height, namely the height work safety procedure No.
WIKA-BG-PDSMM-IK-26. PT Wijaya Karya Bangunan Gedung Tbk. Halim High-Speed

of work safety equipment and lack of training for workers related to
high-altitude work.

INTRODUCTION
PT Wijaya Karya Bangunan Bedung Tbk Halim High-Speed Train Project is
engaged in construction, which, has a very high potential for danger. One of
them is the danger of working at height. Therefore, it is important to control
the danger of working at height to prevent and control the danger of working at
height.
Based
on data from BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, the number of work accident cases in 2020
reached 221,740. This figure increased to 234,370 cases in 2021 and 265,334
cases in 2022.
Fatal problems and accidents that often occur
when working at height:
1. Falling from scaffolds, stairs, or
vehicles;
2. Falls while walking on roofs;
3. Falling into excavations or holes that are not
protected by fences;
4. Material Falls from a height.
Based on the
Regulation of the Minister of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia (Febriantia & Sa, 2015), Number 9 of 2016
concerning Occupational Safety and Health in Work at Altitude, working at
height is a work activity or activity carried out by workers in places on the
ground or water surface where there is a height difference. It has the
potential to fall which causes injuries or death of workers or other people at
work or causes property damage. Currently, the rule has evolved to not provide
height restrictions and focuses more on height differences and potential falls.
With this renewal, of course, it is hoped that it will reduce the number of
work accidents in Indonesia. But in reality, until now, the number of work
accidents in Indonesia has been high and tends to increase from year to year (Maulina et al., 2021).
Permenaker Number 09 of 2016
requires entrepreneurs and/or administrators to implement K3 in working at
height. The implementation of K3 can be done by ensuring the following:
1. Planning (Done appropriately in a safe and supervised
manner)
2. Work Procedure (To perform work at height)
3. Safe Work Techniques
4. PPE, Fall Protective Devices and Anchors
5. Manpower (competent and the existence of K3
Section)
At the planning stage, it
must be ensured that the work can be carried out safely with adequate ergonomic
conditions through the access or egress that has been provided (Oakley et al., 2020). Then, it is still in the planning stage of
the entrepreneur and or the mandatory management:
1. Provide work equipment to minimize fall
distances or reduce the consequences of labour falls
2. Implement a work permit system at height and
give instructions or do other things related to work conditions
Work procedures must also be
present to provide guidance to workers, and this procedure must ensure that
workers understand the content well. Some of the things that must be in the
procedure of working at height include:
1.
Techniques
and Ways of Fall Protection
2.
How to
manage equipment
3.
Techniques
and ways to carry out work supervision
4.
Workplace
security
5.
Emergency
preparedness and response.
Hazard control
working at height according to ISO 45001:2018 includes:
1. Elimination is an effort to eliminate potential hazards originating from
materials, processes, operations, or equipment.
2. Substitution is the attempt to replace materials, processes, operations, or
equipment from hazardous to non-hazardous.
3. Technological Engineering is an effort to separate the source of danger from workers by installing a
safety system on tools, machines, and/or work areas.
4. Administrative Control is an effort to control workers' side so they can do their work safely.
5. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is an attempt to use PPE that isolates part or all of the body from sources of danger.
RESEARCH METHODS
This study aims to
find out the Hazard Control Working at Height program at PT Wijaya Karya
Bangunan Gedung Tbk. Halim High-Speed Train Development Project. This type of research is quantitative research. Data obtained from the results of interviews,
field observations, documentation, company records or related sources will be
processed and compiled systematically and compared between laws and regulations
related to Hazard Control at Height.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This research covers the scope of
Hazard Control Working at Height at PT. Wijaya Karya Bangunan Gedung Tbk. Halim
High-Speed Train Development Project. Based on the results of an interview
with a safety officer regarding the Control of hazards when working at
height at PT,
Wijaya Karya Bangunan Gedung Tbk has several hazard control programs for
working at height, including:
1.
Fit to work (Health Check)
The fit-to-work program at PT. Wijaya Karya Bangunan Bangunan Tbk,
carried out by a paramedic team in the form of checking blood pressure, temperature and saturation, is carried out every day in the
morning and night before doing work to all workers working at high altitudes.
The Work at Height Hazard Control Program, such as fit to work,
has been in accordance with Permenaker No. 9 of 2016, article 4, paragraph 2,
concerning ensuring that working at height is only carried out if the working
situation and conditions do not endanger the safety and health of the
workforce.
2.
Toolbox meeting
The toolbox meeting program at PT. Wijaya Karya Bangunan Gedung
Tbk is carried out every day in the morning at 8.00 am and at night at 7.00 pm.
The material presented at the morning and evening toolbox meetings
related to work methodologies and K3L implementation problems carried out
before starting work was delivered by safety officers to all workers.
The toolbox meeting program has been in accordance with Permenaker
No. 9 of 2016, article 5, paragraph 3, concerning administrators obliged to
take appropriate and adequate steps to prevent work accidents. Inspection of
work tools and personal protective equipment.
3.
The Work Tools and Personal Protective
Equipment
The Work Tools and Personal Protective Equipment Inspection Program has
been implemented by the safety officer once a month for scaffolding,
which is inspected, namely the strength of the scaffolding and the
condition of the scaffolding platform. PPE inspections, including full body
harnesses, are carried out once a month for full body harnesses that
are inspected, namely the condition of webbing, lanyards
and absorbers in good condition or if there is damage. The sign that the
scaffolding or full body harness has been inspected and is safe to
use is from the tagging and colour. The green colour means it is safe to use,
while the red colour means it is not suitable for use.
The
inspection program for work equipment and personal protective equipment has
been in accordance with Permenaker No. 9 of 2016, article 15, paragraph 1 and
Article 22, paragraph 1, concerning the use of full body harness and scaffolding
in accordance with K3 requirements. However, there are still problems
related to the lack of supervision of occupational safety equipment and the
lack of training for workers related to work at height.
CONCLUSION
PT Wijaya Karya Bangunan Gedung Tbk, Halim High-Speed Train Project,
already has a procedure related to the Control of work hazards at height,
namely the Altitude Work Safety Procedure NO. WIKA-BG-PDSMM-IK-26, which is in
accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower No. 9 of 2016. PT
Wijaya Karya Bangunan Gedung Tbk. Halim High-Speed Train Project has
implemented all programs related to the Control of work hazards at height,
including Fit to Work, Toolbox Meetings, Scaffolding Inspection
and Personal Protective Equipment. However, there are still problems related to
the lack of supervision of work safety equipment and the lack of training for
workers related to high-altitude work.
