<![CDATA[The development of urban areas into residential, industrial, and commercial zones has increased the risk of fires, especially in areas with inadequate building conditions. Firefighters must always be on alert and equipped with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to reduce the risk of occupational accidents. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and the use of PPE among firefighters in Indonesia through a literature review method. The analysis was conducted on 7 research articles and 1 reference book published in the last 10 years. The results show that OHS knowledge and optimal use of PPE are significantly related to the reduction in the rate of work accidents. Factors such as knowledge, training, availability, supervision, and good PPE management are crucial in reducing accident risks and enhancing the safety of firefighters. This study emphasizes the importance of continuous education, routine training, and effective PPE management to ensure optimal occupational health and safety for firefighters in Indonesia.]]>
