Abstract

Forests were one of the major assets of natural resources in Indonesia because those were classified as the top 10 in the world. However, the processing of Indonesian forest products has not implemented a safety management system properly. The case of fire in the non-timber forest product processing industry in East Java in 2015 and the high prevalence of irritant contact dermatitis to workers were evidence. The Behavior-Based Safety approach program and Risk Management education need to be undertaken to protect workers from occupational diseases and accidents. Objectives: This paper aims to discuss the effectiveness of the Behavior-Based Safety approach program and Risk Management education in the forest product processing industry in Indonesia, especially in East Java. Research with a pre-experimental design was carried out on 51 workers in the forest product processing industry in East Java which was the main object of research. All workers are treated with the Behavior Based Safety approach program and Risk Management education. Then their behavior changes are measured with a safety performance index. The results showed that among critical behaviors, using Personal Protective Equipment completely in workers has a good feedback. The safety performance index of the workers shows an improvement from 60% to 78%. This insignificant increase was due to the lack of safety facilities provided by the company. Behavior-Based Safety approach and Risk Management education accentuate expanding safety performance. Those are not a substitute for an effective existing thorough health and safety program, but advantageous devices that will improve the impact of officially existing practices. The Behavior-Based Safety approach program and Risk Management education in the forest product processing industry in East Java, Indonesia, have proven effective in increasing worker awareness to reduce health risks and accidents. However, its implementation is constrained by the company's commitment of adequate safety facilities. The safety culture will be difficult to realize because the Behavior-Based Safety is a bottom-up approach, with top-down support.
