Abstract

The manufacturing industry, particularly steel pipe production, is strategically supporting infrastructure development and national economic growth. However, the production process involves various potential risks that can disrupt operational efficiency and endanger workplace safety. This study aims to analyze risk management applied to the production process at Indonesia Steel Tube Works (PT. X), identify the principal risks faced, and evaluate mitigation strategies implemented by the company. This research uses qualitative methods with descriptive research type to understand the risk management system process using the HIRADC (Hazard Identification Risk Assessment Determining Control) method. Data collection was conducted through direct observation and semi-structured interviews with workers. The results show that the four main production processes (Slitting Line, Pipe Making Line, Galvanizing, and Packing) contain various risks categorized as physical, chemical, ergonomic, and psychosocial hazards. Risk analysis revealed eight high-category risks, 20 moderate-category risks, and four low-category risks. Risk control is implemented through engineering control, administrative control, and personal protective equipment (PPE) following the risk control hierarchy. This study contributes to improving operational efficiency, strengthening workplace safety culture, and providing recommendations for developing more adaptive and sustainable risk management systems in the steel pipe manufacturing industry.
