So that the results of the interview can be recorded properly and researchers have evidence after conducting interviews with informants or data sources. The results of the research show that accidents that often occur in the mining process are on the hauling line (production line). All accidents occur on the hauling line. The highest cases occurred in June 2022 and resulted in lost work days in May 2023. Therefore, the application of Job Safety Analysis (JSA) and Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) is a tool to avoid work accidents.

The importance of implementing K3 awareness at work locations for company employees must be implemented and given special attention because this is a shared responsibility so support and support is really needed in the company, both from the leadership to the workers in the field.
