The analysis of the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Programs at the South Buton Regency General Hospital

Background: This study analyzes the implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) program at the Regional Hospital of Buton Selatan using bivariate analysis. The results show that the OHS input variable (X1) has a moderate correlation with the OHS output (Y1) with a coefficient value of 0.434. The correlation between the OHS process (X2) and the OHS output (Y1) is categorized as low with a value of 0.390. Meanwhile, the combined correlation of input (X1) and process (X2) to output (Y1) is 0.475, which falls under the moderate category.
Method: The research used is qualitative phenomenology to understand and describe the dominant accident-causing factors from mining accident phenomena in transportation activities using trucks. The research employed a cross-sectional design conducted between July and August 2024. Using proportionate stratified random sampling, 60 employees participated by completing structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed using bivariate correlation to evaluate relationships between input (policies, resources), process (OHS management practices), and output (safety outcomes).
Results: Buton Selatan Regional General Hospital (RSUD Buton Selatan) has been a type C healthcare facility since 2022. As a government-owned hospital, its main vision is to become the best healthcare provider in Southeast Sulawesi by 2030. The implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety in Hospital (K3RS) program shows good management of facilities and infrastructure but still requires improvements in policies, human resources, and hazardous waste management.
Conclusion: The study highlights gaps in OHS program implementation, particularly in process components. Recommendations include increasing OHS-certified personnel, enhancing risk management protocols, and regular evaluations to ensure compliance and effectiveness.
