Upaya Pencegahan dan Evaluasi Potensi Kecelakaan Kerja pada saat Kegiatan Muat dan Bongkar Muatan MT Samudera Biru 168

Abstract

Thisstudy aimsto analyze the causes of occupational accidentsin the form of a Helmsman slipping during hose connection activities on MT Samudera Biru 168 and to formulate effective prevention efforts. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a risk assessment approach, through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The results show that the main causes of the accident were slippery deck conditions due to residual liquid spills that were not immediately cleaned, as well as crew fatigue due shipping schedules that reduced alertness and concentration levels. Other contributing factors include the absence of strict spill cleaning procedures, non-strategic placement of oil spill kits, unavailability of hazard warning signs, and weak supervision by ship officers. Recommended prevention efforts include improving crew situational awareness through regular safety meetings, implementing spill cleaning procedures with a maximum time limit of 5 minutes, placing oil spill kits in strategic locations near the manifold, providing hazard warning signs and drip trays, improving lighting in the work area, applying anti-slip coating on the deck, as well as re-evaluating shipping schedules to ensure crew get adequate rest time in accordance with STCW Code standards. This research is expected to provide input for shipping companies in improving the safety management system on board vessels.
