Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors causing high workplace accidents and to improve the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) systems in modern industry in West Java. The study employs a mixed-method approach with a descriptive analytical design through questionnaires administered to 40 workers and interviews with 6 key informants. The research process includes risk identification using HIRARC, root cause analysis through Fishbone and 5 Why methods, and evaluation of OHS system implementation. The study was conducted over a three-month period. The results indicate that unsafe behavior, lack of training, and weak supervision are the main causes of workplace accidents. The implications suggest the need to strengthen safety culture and enhance the integration of OHS systems
