- Abstract
Occupational health and safety, especially in construction projects in recent months, is a concern for many parties. This is due to the construction projects that are spread throughout the region almost simultaneously. The construction project certainly has a big risk if it is not carried out in accordance with the rules that have been set and agreed upon together. Not a few work accidents caused by negligence of workers in the field, planning, and natural factors. One of them was written by Kompas.com (2018) entitled eleven cases of accidents occurred in six months. This research was carried out by direct observation to building construction projects. Record information and document worker behavior related to occupational safety and health in construction projects. The results of the study found that before starting work, every worker was given training on construction methods, the risk of accidents, and also personal protective equipment that must always be used while working. Another finding in the field that some workers do not want to use personal protective equipment is only for reasons that they cannot work freely even though they understand the risks.
