Abstract

The behavior of using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in construction sector workers in Indonesia is still not good, this is indicated by the still high mortality and disability due to workplace accidents. There are still many workers who do not use PPE when working based on several factors, including the lack of company policy and supervision and aspects of the workers themselves. The purpose of this study was to see an overview of the knowledge, attitudes and behavior of construction workers about the use of PPE in PT. X, Lampung in 2018. The research design used in this study was a cross-sectional design that was descriptive in nature. This study used a sample of 50 people and analyzed univariately.
