The Relationship Of Knowledge Of Occupational Safety And Health To The Awareness Of Occupational Safety And Health Behavior In Students In The Laboratory
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Awareness of occupational safety and health behavior as a preventive measure aims to reduce and even eliminate the risk of work accidents (zero accidents). Occupational Health and Safety in the Laboratory is very important to implement. Awareness in implementing Occupational Safety and Health is a factor that affects the number of work accidents. This awareness can begin before entering the world of work in the field of construction. Students have not had much knowledge about Occupational Safety and Health in the laboratory and there is still a lack of awareness to behave occupational safety and health.
Method: This research is necessary to determine the relationship between Occupational Safety and Health knowledge to the awareness of Occupational Safety and Health behavior in students in the laboratory. This study uses the Pearson Product Moment correlation method or correlation analysis in the form of variable data to determine the relationship of free variables, namely Occupational Safety and Health (X) knowledge, with bound variables, namely awareness of Occupational Safety and Health (Y) behavior. Data collection techniques using questionnaires and populations, in this study were students of the Faculty of Engineering, Medan State University who were practicing in the laboratory totaling 129 respondents.
Result: After being tested, there is a relationship between knowledge of Occupational Safety and Health and awareness of Occupational Safety and Health behavior in the laboratory (r = 0.482) which is quite sufficient. The magnitude of the relationship of K3 knowledge to the awareness of Occupational Safety and Health behavior was 23.21% and the remaining 76.79% was determined by other variables. The level of significance (α) of 5% shows that there is a positive influence on the relationship between Occupational Safety and Health knowledge on the awareness of Occupational Safety and Health behavior of students of the Faculty of Engineering, Medan State University in the laboratory as seen from the calculated value of the >t table or 7.25 >1.97. Conclusion: After being tested there is a relationship between knowledge of Occupational Health and Safety on awareness of Occupational Safety and Health behavior in the laboratory which is quite adequate. Then it can be seen that there is an influence between knowledge of Occupational Health and Safety on behavioral awareness of students in the Civil Engineering laboratory, so that knowledge of occupational health and safety and awareness of behavior becomes an important aspect in the application of the learning process of laboratory practicum activities.
