<![CDATA[Occupational Safety and Health in Hospitals is an essential element of healthcare quality management systems aimed at protecting healthcare workers, patients, and all individuals within hospital environments from potential occupational hazards. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Safety and Health in Hospitals program at Rasyida Kidney Specialty Hospital in Medan, North Sumatra, using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 5 informants (3 key informants: Chair of the Hospital Safety and Health Committee, and Head of Hemodialysis Unit; 2 supporting informants: laboratory analyst, and genset technician), field observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that the hospital has implemented the five main pillars of the Safety and Health system: policy establishment, planning, program implementation, performance monitoring and evaluation, and continuous improvement. The hospital has formed a Safety and Health in Hospitals Committee, developed operational procedures and work guidelines, and provided essential supporting facilities such as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and an emergency response system. Routine training and socialization activities are also conducted to raise awareness among healthcare workers about the importance of occupational safety. This study is expected to contribute positively to the strengthening of Safety and Health in Hospitals policies and the overall improvement of safety systems in healthcare settings. Rasyida Kidney Specialty Hospital demonstrates great potential as a healthcare institution committed to quality, safety, and service sustainability.]]>
