Target Health and Safety Systems

Occupational safety and health problems (K3) lately continue to evolve with advances in science and technology tusat industry.Progress has resulted in the emergence of a variety of problems and dampat increasingly complex industry and has invited the attention of many people.This is evident from the many stresses that come from society at large for the management and industrial presence in the midst of their lives.The emergence of intense competition between industries, often associated with a variety of issues that K3 can be used as a tool to enter the world market.The above circumstances change society's view of the importance of the implementation of K3 industry seriously in its activities.But in fact, provide an understanding of K3 is not easy when the breadth of the scope of the terms that must be addressed and the manifold problems that exist and the related impacts that could lead to accidents resulting from an incident.The size and the possibility of accidents due to or arising severity is a risk of a hazard to establish an industry or corporate events.In activities of the industry or the company goal of industrial development can be said to obtain maximum profitability through the financial details, so that the risk of the industry, of course, will reduce the value of the acquisition, since the risk of a loss in value principle is expressed in the form of value for money or cost.Therefore, in an effort K3 is often attributed that accident prevention is essentially a development of the risk of loss of control of the company through its entirety.In order to overcome the problems and who do not meet the requirements necessary efforts K3 occupational safety and health which is essentially the responsibility and common interests of a party employers, labor and government.Enterprise-uisaha basically been implicit in the Law. 1 of 1970 concerning occupational safety and is targeted to be achieved, namely:In General;• Protecting labor in the workplace in order to always guarantee safety and health, so it can be realized increased production and productivity.• Protect any other person who is always at work are safe and healthy.• Protect materials and equipment so that production can be achieved safely and efficiently.In particular:• Preventing or reducing accidents, fires, explosions and occupational diseases.• Securing machines, installations, aircraft, equipment, and materials production.• Creating a workplace environment that is safe, comfortable, healthy and adjustments between jobs with man or between man and work.The successful achievement of K3 particularly in industrial organization depends on management's views and support the implementation of the K3.This expression is based on the fact where there are many managers who believe that the implementation of K3 in the company will reduce corporate profitability and a cost.This view is not at all justified, because in essence the implementation of K3 will actually double its profits through the prevention of accidents which may cause losses and increase productivity. Not even exaggerating when an industry that has a high risk of the view that implementation of the K3 is the responsibility of all employees, and not solely the responsibility of any part or head of the company.This is possible given the statement mengidentikan management issues with the product K3.Therefore, any treatment of the product can not be distinguished by the treatment of the K3, so the K3 targets that are part of the overall management process plays an important role in the achievement of the objectives K3 through control or the company has targeted to prevent, reduce and combat any form of accident which can result in losses that are not desired by the company.On the basis of the above K3 management can be defined as follows:• It is an integral part of management's general or specific.• Achievement of management principles and techniques in an effort to support the successful achievement of safety and health in general and goals / targets K3 in the Company as part of the overall company objectives.

History of Occupational Safety and Health

Since ancient times at the beginning of human life, to make ends meet working to defend human life. At work they have an accident in the form of injuries or wounds. With a reasonable mind they are trying to prevent accidents preventively.As long as the work is done individually or in a group then prevention is not too difficult, so soon changed when the nature of the industrial revolution happened, that when mankind can harness the laws of nature and learn to become science and practical applications.The application of science began in the 18th century with the advent of the weaving industry, invention for industrial boilers. Steam power is very beneficial to the industry, but its use is also a risk to detonation because of the pressure.Furthermore, following the revolution, electricity, atomic energy revolution and new discoveries in the field of engineering and technology is very beneficial for mankind. Besides the use of techniques and technologies can be detrimental in the risk of an accident if there are not thinking about work safety and health efforts.As an overview of the historical development of occupational health and safety can be presented as follows:• Approximately 1700 years BC Hamurabi king of the kingdom of Babylon in the book of laws states that:"If an expert makes home building and preparation for someone not implemented properly so that the house collapsed and fell to the homeowner dies, then the builder is killed".• In the Mosaic age, approximately 5 centuries after Hamurabi, stated that the builder is responsible for the safety of the implementers and employees, by setting the installation of safety barriers on each side of the outside of the roof.• Approximately 80 years after AD, Pliny the Romans Encyclopedia expert requires that mine workers were required to wear the nose cap (mask).• In 1450 Dominico Fontana was given the task of building the obelisk in the middle of the field St. Pieter Rome. He always require that workers wear steel helmets (Safety Helmet)Historical events illustrates that human health and safety issues to the attention of the experts working at the time.Since the industrial revolution in England where many accidents and many carry the victims, the entrepreneur at the time it was argued that it was part of the occupational hazards that must be borne by the workers themselves. At first, no steps are taken to reduce accidents and the suffering of the victims, because the entrepreneurs themselves, it can be easily addressed with the hiring of new personnel. Finally, many people believe that letting casualties especially without compensation to victims deemed inhumane. The workers urged employers to take positive steps to tackle the problem.First cultivated is providing care to the victims where the motive by humanity.In 1991 the United States enacted the Law Work's Compensation Law which stated that regardless of whether the accident occurred due to fault of the victim or not, the question will be compensated, if it occurs on the job. This Act marked the beginning of accident prevention efforts are more focused.In the UK at first almost the same rules and regulations have also been enacted, but it must be proven that the accident occurred is not the fault of the victim. If it is proven that the accident was due to the fault or negligence of the victim then no compensation will be given. Since the workers are in a weak position, the absence of proof of any of the workers concerned are always detrimental to the victim. Finally, the amended legislation regardless of whether the victim is wrong or not.Applicability of laws and regulations is regarded as the beginning of the safety movement, which brings fresh air in an effort to prevent accidents from happening in the industry.H.W. Heinrich in his famous book "Industrial Accident Prevention" (1931), considered as a starting point, a historic moment for all of organized safety movement directionally. In essence, the principles set out in 1931 Heinrich is a basic element for the safety program current.

 

What Is The Purpose Of Health and Safety Management System (SMK3)??

The purpose of safety and health management systems of work are: 
Creation of a system of safety and health at work involving all parties so as to prevent and reduce accidents and occupational diseases and the creation of workplaces that are safe, efficient, and productive.

Aims to ensure the physical perfection and rokhani of the workforce and the work and culture.
Therefore, safety and health aims to prevent and reduce the occurrence of accidents and occupational diseases, and ensure:
That every labor and other people in the workplace are safe and healthy,
That each source of production used safely and efficiently,
That the production process can run smoothly.
Conditions mentioned above can be achieved, among others when accidents including fires, explosions, and diseases can be prevented and addressed.
Therefore any health and safety efforts no other is the prevention and reduction of workplace accidents.
Prevention and control of occupational accidents should be directed to identify and locate the causes not the symptoms as much as possible and then eliminate or mengeliminirnya.
Occupational safety and health programs, according to ASSE (American Society Of Safety Engineers) are: A Plan to implement the Administrative and Procedural Systems Loss Prevention and Control of Hazards and maintain effectiveness.


What is a Safety and Health Management Systems Of Work (SMK3) ??

Health and Safety Management Systems of  Work(SMK3) is part of the overall management system which includes organizational structure, planning,Responsibility, implementation, procedures, processes and resources needed for the development, implementation, achievement, assessment and maintenance of safety and health policies in order control the risks associated with work activities in order to create a workplace that is safe, efficient and productive.
