Operational Risk Control Through OSHMS Implementation in Biosilica Manufacturing

Abstract

This study examines the impact of Occupational Safety and Health Management System (OSHMS) implementation on operational risk control in biosilica production. Using a quantitative survey of 200 employees exposed to operational risks, four components management policy and commitment, hazard identification and risk assessment, operational control, and OSH training and competence were analyzed as reflective indicators of OSHMS. Data were evaluated using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results show all components significantly affect operational risk control, with OSH training and competence having the strongest influence. Findings align with High Reliability Organization (HRO) theory, highlighting the integration of managerial, technical, and behavioral aspects in safety practices. The study concludes that effective OSHMS implementation is essential for proactive and sustainable risk management in high-hazard industries. Future research should consider moderating factors and longitudinal designs to assess long-term safety outcomes.
