Sosialisasi Sertifikasi K3 Acuan Perancah Pada LSP Difindo Kota Palembang

Abstract

Construction projects require extensive processes and involve various resources. Due to their dynamic nature, varying work intensities, limited time and budget, and diverse classifications of labor, construction projects carry a high risk of occupational accidents. Scaffolding (also known as steiger) is a simple, temporary structure built around a building under construction or renovation. This community service activity is motivated by the limited knowledge of construction workers regarding safe procedures for scaffolding installation and use in construction projects, as well as the limited availability of certification testing facilities related to scaffolding-based Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) competencies in Palembang City. This activity serves as a means for civil engineering lecturers to contribute their technical expertise by providing training on scaffolding-based OHS to the Palembang DIFINDO Professional Certification Institute (LSP DIFINDO) and to prospective construction workers affiliated with LSP DIFINDO. The socialization program will begin with an introduction to construction OHS principles, followed by in-depth material on scaffolding-based OHS, including the legal foundation, proper installation and usage methods according to safety standards, potential risks of unsafe scaffolding practices, and strategies to control related hazards and risks. The socialization will be delivered through interactive presentations and discussions to ensure that participants thoroughly understand the correct procedures for using scaffolding in accordance with construction industry standards. The expected outputs include: improved participant understanding, educational OHS banners, an activity report, and publication in campus media or a community service journal. This activity is expected to foster cross-disciplinary understanding and strengthen the synergy between vocational education and the construction industry.
