Upaya Pencegahan Kecelakaan Kerja bagi Peserta Kunjungan Lapangan di Wilayah Pertambangan PT Selo Agung Setiaji

Abstract

Field visits play a crucial role for mining engineering students in understanding mining operations directly. However, participants are not mine workers and are therefore not yet well-acquainted with the nature of hazards at the work site, such as heavy equipment movement, bench edges, and processing units. This study examines occupational accident prevention efforts for field visit participants at the andesite quarry of PT Selo Agung Setiaji, Katingan Regency. A descriptive qualitative method was employed through a literature review of mining safety regulations and visitor induction guidelines, combined with direct field observations. The results indicate that preventive measures can be implemented across three stages: before, during, and after the visit. Controls are arranged according to the safety hierarchy, prioritizing the isolation of participants from active work areas, the delivery of safety inductions, strict supervision, and the use of personal protective equipment. Consistent application of these procedures is vital to minimizing accident risks and ensuring the safety of all participants throughout the activity.
