Abstract

The complexity of lifting operations in oil and gas refinery construction presents significant occupational safety and health risks. This study aims to enhance the effectiveness of Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Determining Control (HIRADC) by identifying existing hazards, assessing inherent and residual risks, and proposing improved mitigation measures. Based on the HIRADC analysis conducted at oil and gas refinery construction, initial findings showed five high-risk activities. After implementing additional control measures, including installing hard barricades, proper signaling during lifting, and equipment checks, the residual risk levels were reduced to moderate-to-high categories. Moreover, the study identified an additional unrecorded activity in the original HIRADC: job preparation and work method validation, which was subsequently integrated into the revised framework. The study concludes that improving the HIRADC process, supported by routine inspections, proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and the placement of HSSE signs, plays a crucial role in preventing workplace accidents caused by unsafe actions, mechanical hazards and ergonomic issues during lifting operations.

Abstract

The oil and gas sector faces high accident risks, making safety culture vital, especially for contractors. In Balikpapan’s refineries, gaps in perception, behavior, and support systems lead to inconsistent safety practices and lingering hazards. This study aims to examine the influence of safety culture dimensions, psychological, behavioral, and situational, on occupational health and safety performance among contractor workers in this high-risk setting. A quantitative approach was adopted using a cross-sectional survey of 382 contractor workers. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire with Likert-scale items and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The measurement model confirmed validity and reliability after minor item refinement, while the structural model assessed direct and combined effects of the dimensions. Results show that all three dimensions positively and significantly influence occupational health and safety performance, with the situational dimension exerting the strongest effect, followed by behavioral and psychological dimensions. Together, the dimensions explained nearly seventy percent of the variance in performance. The study concludes that integrated development of organizational systems, consistent safe behaviors, and supportive worker perceptions is essential for enhancing safety outcomes in contractor-heavy environments. Strengthening situational factors offers the greatest potential for reducing risks and supporting zero-accident goals in the industry.
