Occupational Safety Cost Analysis in Construction
Occupational Safety Cost Analysis in Construction
Abstract. Indonesia is one of the developing countries which currently has a lot
of development underway. With problems related to occupational health and
safety which are still often ignored, especially in East Java province, this is
demonstrated by the still high number of construction work accidents in 2021
in East Java province, namely 26% of the total construction work accident
cases in Indonesia. This research was carried out on the project “Preservasi
Jalan dan Jembatan Surabaya – Sidoarjo”. The method of this research is
hazard identification risk assessment and risk control (HIRARC) and
quantitative descriptive method. The results of this research show that the
amount of occupational health and safety costs is based on the owner's
estimate which is guided by Minister for Public Works and Housing Regulation
Number 10 of 2021 concerning Construction Safety Management Systems is
IDR. 664,667,000.00 where The value 4,04 %of occupational safety and
health costs has met ideal standart from circular letter number 10/SE/M/2018
of Minister for Public Works and Housing that is between 1.5% - 2.5% of the total
project value. Keywords: Work Accidents, Occupational Health and Safety costs
