The high rate of work accidents in construction projects in Indonesia shows that the implementation of occupational safety is not optimal, even though it has been required by regulations. The Occupational Safety and Health Management System (SMK3) is an important instrument for creating a safe work environment, increasing productivity, and reducing the risk of accidents. This study aims to find out the overview of the implementation of SMK3, the rate of work accidents, and labor productivity in the Bawela Stadium Construction Project in Sorong City, as well as to analyze the influence between these variables directly and indirectly. The research method uses a quantitative approach with a verifiable method. The sample in this study was 100 construction workers who were selected through a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method. The results showed that the implementation of SMK3 in general was in the "adequate" category (score 3.40), the rate of work accidents was in the "adequate" category (score 2.46), and labor productivity was also in the "adequate" category (score 3.39). The implementation of SMK3 has a significant negative effect on the rate of work accidents and has a significant positive effect on labor productivity. In addition, the rate of work accidents has been shown to have a negative influence on labor productivity. Indirectly, SMK3 affects productivity through reducing the rate of work accidents. These findings affirm the importance of strengthening the occupational safety system through leadership, planning, and a culture of OSH to support the success of construction projects.
