Factors Related to Compliance with the Implementation of SOPs for Working at Heights among Construction Workers on Project B in South Jakarta

Abstract

Compliance describes a person's awareness and willingness to follow the rules and social norms that exist in their environment. Worker compliance with standard operating procedures (SOPs) for working at height is an important factor in preventing work accidents. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors related to compliance with the implementation of SOPs for working at height among construction workers. The study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population was 150 workers, and using the Slovin formula calculation, a sample of 120 respondents was obtained. Data were collected using questionnaires that were analyzed univariately and bivariately with the Chi-square test. The results showed that variables related to compliance were attitude (p = <0.001), knowledge (p = <0.001), motivation (p = <0.001), training (p = <0.001), availability of PPE (p = 0.048), and the physical environment (p = 0.001). Meanwhile, the variables of age (p = 1.000), education level (p = 1.000), and supervision (p = 0.194) were not related to worker compliance. Project management is advised to adjust tasks to age and physical condition, use visual media for safety education, provide practical training or simulations in simple language, optimize supervision through reward and punishment programs, conduct regular toolbox meetings, and improve communication with appropriate directions and reprimands to improve worker compliance with SOPs.
