Abstract

The construction of toll road projects involves complicated activities that may pose risks to the safety of workers. The Sigli - Banda Aceh Toll Road Project workers had previously experienced minor work accidents. Most accidents often occur because they fail to fulfill occupational safety compliance. Knowledge and awareness about Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) compliance often influence the practice on location. This study attempted to examine the effect of knowledge and awareness on the level of compliance with OSH among the workers on the Sigli - Banda Aceh Toll Road Construction Project. This study employed a quantitative method approach. The data were collected using questionnaires. 175 workers from a total population of 312 were selected as the research respondents through proportionate stratified random sampling. The sampling was based on the level of workers (workers and forepersons) with a proportional number taken randomly. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that the knowledge and awareness factors significantly influenced the workers’ compliance with OSH. These findings suggest that if the workers' knowledge and awareness about OSH are improved, their level of compliance will also improve. © 2024 American Institute of Physics Inc..
