<![CDATA[Occupational safety and health are crucial aspects in high-risk jobs, especially those conducted at heights. This study examines the safety risks in one of the remodeling contractor companies in Batam City, a small and medium enterprise engaged in various high-altitude construction projects in Batam City. The research aims to analyze and measure the risk levels and understand potential accidents that might occur in high-altitude work. The research methods include interviews, direct discussions, and data collection from company documents, using the Australia/New Zealand AS/NZS 4360:2004 standard. A semi-quantitative risk analysis was conducted to identify risk levels categorized as high, medium, and low. The results show 21 risks at the "Very High" level, 24 risks at the "Priority 1" level, 26 risks at the "Substantial" level, 5 risks at the "Priority 3" level, and 4 risks at the "Acceptable" level. The main risks include slipping ladders, slippery floors, and falls from heights. Mitigation recommendations include installing rubber pads on ladders, replacing damaged ladders, and using personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety shoes, safety helmets, and safety harnesses. Implementing engineering controls, administrative controls, and appropriate use of PPE is crucial in reducing workplace accidents. The study recommends more intensive OSH training and the development of technology to enhance safety in high-altitude work.]]>
