Abstract

This Community Service activity focuses on improving occupational health and safety (OHS) for construction workers on the Semarang-Demak Toll Road project by assessing risks in three critical stages: manufacturing, mobilization, and placement of the armor jack. Through a risk assessment conducted with the Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) team, risks were identified and categorized into Low Risk, Moderate Risk, and High Risk. While most risks can be managed with appropriate controls, there are high risks such as workers being trapped during formwork installation and webbing sling failure, which require greater attention. The solutions implemented in this PKM include redesigning safer work procedures, intensive safety training, and tighter supervision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) use. As a result, the control measures effectively raised worker awareness, created a safer work environment, reduced accidents, and supported smooth project operations, with a direct positive impact on workers and the strengthening of the safety culture on-site.
