Legal Protection, Workers, Occupational Safety and HealthAbstract
The implementation of legal protection for construction workers through the aspect of Occupational Safety and Health (K3) has become an important issue in the era of national infrastructure development. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing Law Number 6 of 2023 on the Job Creation Act in providing legal protection for construction workers and to identify challenges in the application of the Occupational Safety and Health system in the field. The research method uses a normative-juridical approach by analyzing legislation, policy documents, and practical implementation in the field. The results show that although Law Number 6 of 2023 on the Job Creation Act has provided a comprehensive legal foundation, its implementation still faces obstacles in the form of a gap between national and regional regulations, limitations in supervision, and low compliance among construction business actors. The high number of construction work accidents, averaging 20 cases per year, indicates the need for more effective regulatory harmonization. Research recommendations include strengthening integrated supervision mechanisms, increasing socialization of Occupational Safety and Health regulations, and developing a mandatory Occupational Safety and Health certification system for all construction workers.
