Occupational Safety and Health (K3) is a crucial factor in work activities, especially in small business sectors such as blacksmith SMEs that have high risks. In the Djawadi Blacksmith SME, there was a lack of awareness and knowledge about the importance of using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to support safety in the workplace. This community service program aims to improve the understanding and implementation of the use of PPE with an educational approach and involving participation. The methods applied include work risk assessment, socialization regarding K3, distribution of PPE packages, and evaluation through interviews and observations in the field. The results of this activity show that blacksmith workers have increased in their understanding and commitment to using PPE regularly. This implementation helps create a safer and more productive work environment for blacksmith workers.
