Abstract

Occupational accidents remain a significant issue in occupational health and safety (OHS), particularly in manufacturing industries characterized by high production demands. This study aimed to analyze the causal factors of workplace accidents, with a specific focus on unsafe acts and unsafe conditions in a footwear manufacturing industry. A quantitative descriptive analytic design with a cross-sectional approach was employed, using secondary data on occupational accidents at PT X from January to June 2025. Total sampling was applied, and data were analyzed using frequency and proportional distribution to identify the dominant causal factors. The results indicate that unsafe acts were the predominant cause of occupational accidents. Most incidents were classified as first-aid cases with minor severity and occurred repeatedly, suggesting inadequate supervision. Common unsafe acts were closely related to non-compliance with safety procedures, such as failing to maintain a safe distance, adopting unsafe working positions, and not turning off machinery. Unsafe conditions were identified in fewer cases; however, they functioned as contributing factors that potentially exacerbated accident severity. In conclusion, this study explicitly demonstrates that unsafe acts are the dominant cause of occupational accidents in the observed manufacturing setting. Therefore, accident prevention strategies must primarily prioritize behavior-based interventions, supported by systematic improvements in supervision, work systems, and the work environment to ensure more effective and sustainable prevention outcomes.Keywords: occupational accidents; manufacturing industry; unsafe acts; unsafe conditions

Abstract

 The construction industry is widely recognized as a sector with a high risk of occupational accidents, despite the implementation of occupational safety and health management systems. Differences in workers’ individual characteristics are believed to influence safety perceptions and behaviors. This study aims to analyze the influence of individual factors on safety climate in construction projects through a systematic literature review. Articles were searched in Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus databases using the keywords “individual factors,” “safety climate,” and “construction projects,” with predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 7,246 articles were identified, and after systematic screening, 16 studies published between 2021 and 2025 met the eligibility and quality criteria for analysis. The findings indicate that individual factors—including age, gender, education level, work experience, job position, and knowledge—are associated with safety climate perceptions, although the magnitude of their influence varies across studies. Job position emerged as the most consistent factor influencing safety climate, while organizational aspects such as management commitment and supervision remained dominant determinants. This review concludes that individual characteristics contribute to workers’ perceptions of safety climate; however, strengthening organizational-level factors remains essential to support sustainable occupational safety in the construction sector.Keywords: individual factors; safety climate; construction projects
