Model of Learning/Training of Occupational Safety & Health (OSH) Based on Industry in the Construction Industry

Until now, across the world, the accident rate in construction projects is higher than average rate in other industries. Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) in developing countries is far behind OSH in developed countries. From this phenomenon, very important to minimize the level of accident in the construction industry. According to experts that to improve a safety performance can through education/training, safety education must more developed in vocational school, college, graduate school, and also in course in professional association. One aspect of education development is to create a model of learning/training as better as possible, and so this research is conducted. The proposed model was the learning/training of OSH based on industry in construction industry. The research was quasi-experiment study, conducted at 2011-2013 in the Civil Engineering Department, Semarang State University. In this research, model that implementing the industrial-based learning/training as the experimental group, and the existing learning model as control group. The data were collected through documentation, questionnaire, observation, and test. The validity and reliability of instrument was conducted through verification by experts and practitioners, item difficulty analysis, and Cronbach's alpha. The data were analyzed using normality test, homogeneity test, T-test and F-test. The results: the proposed model has been more effective compared to the existing learning model; the proposed model can be used in learning/training of OSH in construction industry for more effective result.
