<![CDATA[Abstract: This study examines the role of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in promoting occupational safety and health among employees at PT. Daikin Industries Indonesia, a company specializing in air conditioner manufacturing. Since its establishment in 2024, the company has faced various potential hazards that may lead to work accidents, particularly those associated with the inconsistent use of PPE. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of PPE utilization in minimizing occupational risks. The study employed the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) method to identify potential hazards, assess related risks, and establish preventive control measures. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 35 workers, primarily in the Outdoor Assembly division. The findings revealed that proper and task-appropriate use of PPE significantly reduced the likelihood of work accidents by up to 90%. Key factors influencing PPE effectiveness included workers’ awareness of safety practices, the adequacy of company-provided training, and the availability of appropriate PPE facilities. Despite the high compliance rate, external factors such as unsafe workplace conditions may still contribute to accidents. Based on these results, it is recommended that the company strengthen socialization and training programs on PPE, as well as ensure continuous provision and maintenance of PPE in accordance with occupational health and safety standards. These measures are expected to further decrease accident rates and foster a safer, healthier working environment Keywords: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) , Occupational Safety and Health , Work Accident Risks ]]>
