Abstract

Indonesia's nickel processing industry plays a strategic role in the global economy, yet fatal occupational safety incidents continue to plague the sector. This study aims to examine in-depth allegations of ethical violations in the PT Indonesia Tsingshan Stainless Steel (ITSS) smelter furnace explosion tragedy in Morowali on December 24, 2023. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach, analyzing secondary data through the lens of the Indonesian Engineers Association (PII) Code of Ethics and the Swiss Cheese Model accident investigation theory. The analysis reveals serious violations of the Catur Karsa principles, particularly the obligation to prioritize public safety. These failures are systemic, involving negligence in risk management, oversight of repair procedures (hot work), and the dominance of production interests over safety. This study recommends reforming the occupational safety and health culture by strengthening the authority of professional engineers and enforcing strict ethical sanctions.

Abstract

This study aims to examine in depth the implementation and violations of the engineering code of ethics in the Hambalang National Education, Training, and Sports School (P3SON) Project. The Hambalang Project, which experienced structural failure due to neglect of geotechnical engineering principles and political collusion, is used as a case study of systemic failure. The analysis focuses on violations of the Sapta Dharma of the Indonesian Engineers Association (PII) and the evaluation of professional responsibility based on ethical theories (Deontology, Teleology, and Virtue Ethics). The analysis results indicate that ethical violations, especially conflicts of interest and systemic corruption, are the main causes that trigger technical violations (ignoring the risks of expansive clay soil). The identified fundamental violations are Sapta Dharma Point 1 (Prioritizing Public Safety), Point 2 (Working According to Competence), and Point 4 (Avoiding Conflicts of Interest). Recommendations proposed include systemic solutions such as the separation of critical contracts and mandatory independent design validation (peer review) to strengthen the culture of engineering ethics.
