Construction Safety in Girder Installation Work on Cibitung – Cilincing Toll Road Construction Project

Abstract

Toll road development, in its implementation, has a relatively high risk of work accidents, and it cannot be denied that work safety management is still weak and there is a lack of awareness about the magnitude of the risks that threaten workers. Girder erection work is included in high-risk work. The method used is HIRADC, according to PUPR Ministerial regulation No. 10 of 2021 concerning SMKK guidelines. This study aims to identify hazards, make risk level assessments, and make risk control efforts that can reduce the risk level of work accidents in girder installation work at the Cibitung – Cilincing Toll Road Construction Project. The limitation of the problem is that the research location only focuses on Section 4 of Sta 33+150, the Cibitung – Cilincing Toll Road Construction Project on the P2 – P3 JU Cakung Drain Pillar Span with the girder installation process using a Gantry Launcher. This study uses a qualitative research approach with a descriptive form to determine the possibility and the consequences that will occur, as well as control the hazard to reduce the possibility and severity. In this study, there are 2 data collection techniques: Primary Data (Observation, Interviews were conducted with 3 sources, K3 Experts, and a Questionnaire was conducted related to risk assessment of the likelihood and severity values) and Secondary Data. This research's novelty lies in using tools during the girder lifting process because the girder length is 50.8 m, and the danger factors are different. The questionnaire data collected found that implementation of the girder installation work identified 52 hazards, with a large level of risk are 20 hazards (38.46%) and medium risk levels are 32 hazards (61.54%). Control efforts by means of engineering, administration and personal protective equipment (PPE) found a decrease in the level of high risk and the level of moderate risk is no longer found, and the level of small risk becomes as many as 52 hazards (100%). So, it can be concluded that the results of the risk level assessment have been better than before.
