Behavior-Based Safety Checklist: A Key to Enhancing Occupational Safety and Health in Indonesia

PT. Tatamulia Nusantara Indah, an ISO-certified company, has successfully implemented several projects in Indonesia, including The Ritz-Carlton Bali project in Sawangan, Nusa Dua. In this article, we will discuss the importance of behavior-based safety checklists in enhancing occupational safety and health in Indonesian industries.

The relationship between occupational safety and health (OSH) and environmental issues is closely linked. OSH cannot be separated from industry problems as safety and health are directly related to productivity. To ensure a safe working environment, it is essential to develop a behavior-based safety checklist that evaluates the effectiveness of the program and makes necessary changes.

One of the most effective ways to create a behavior-based safety checklist is by developing a plan of action to change at-risk behaviors. This can include testing hypotheses, making adjustments, and promoting new safe behaviors. Additionally, using valuable data obtained from observations to generate solutions to mitigate potential risks is crucial.

To obtain feedback regarding the observation process, team members should be trained in behavioral observation processes. Observers should make note of significant positive safety behaviors and at-risk behaviors observed, as well as areas that require changes.

Conducting regular behavioral observations is essential to identify safe and risky employee actions during a behavioral observation. A simple measurement system should track the frequency of safe and risky employee actions, including who, where, when, and what.

By developing a critical checklist, teams can identify at-risk and safe behaviors, providing useful information and revealing areas that can be improved. Analyzing data from safety audits and inspections is also crucial in identifying areas for improvement.

In conclusion, behavior-based safety checklists are essential to enhancing occupational safety and health in Indonesian industries. By regularly evaluating the effectiveness of programs, using valuable data, obtaining feedback, conducting behavioral observations, implementing a measurement system, developing a critical checklist, and analyzing data, companies can create a safe working environment that promotes productivity and reduces the risk of accidents.
