Описание: Personal Factors Of Mechanical Workers In The Manufacturing Sector And Their Relationship To Unsafe Actions


Backgound: This article reviews publications regarding studies on the personal factors of mechanical workers in the manufacturing sector related to unsafe actions. In the world, around 340 million occupational accidents occur every year, of which 80 percent are caused by unsafe acts due to personal factors. This article is important because it deals with the third goal of SDGs regarding health and wellbeing.

Aim: This study examines the relations between the characteristics of personal factors and unsafe action in mechanical workers in the manufacturing industry sector.

Methods: This study is a literature review using descriptive narrative meta-synthesis techniques. There were 15 national and 6 international journals articles from Google scholar, Proquest, Springerlink and Scopus with publications in the last 10 years, from research journals accredited Sinta minimal 3 or indexed by google scholar. Personal factor variables include age, tenure, education level, OSH knowledge, trainings, work attitude and emotional exhaustion. Unsafe action variable was seen from motivation to behave safely and awareness of using PPE.

Results: The results showed that 10 out of 16 articles showed unsafe action is not related with age. 8 of the 16 articles present relation between tenure and unsafe actions. 9 out of 12 articles showed relation between education level and unsafe actions. 4 of the 7 articles showed trainings are related with unsafe actions. 12 out of 13 articles showed unsafe action is related with OSH knowledge. 3 out of 5 articles showed relation between motivation to behave safely and unsafe actions. 4 out of 4 articles showed unsafe action is related with work attitude. 3 out of 4 articles showed emotional exhaustion is not related with unsafe actions.

Conclusion: This study concluded that mechanical workers as greater then or equal 35 years old, working period as greater then or equal10 years, education level up to junior high school, OSH knowledge, training, poor work attitudes, and high emotional fatigue do more unsafe actions and increase motivation to behave safely on PPE awareness. Scheduled training and direction are needed to increase OSH knowledge and to conduct job rotation according to workers' skills every less than 10 years.
