MEMPERBAIKI KONDISI KESEHATAN DAN KESELAMATAN KERJA SEKTOR INFORMAL MELALUI PROGRAM

Abstract

Population and labor force growth in the urban impact on
various social issues, environment and employment. Due to the
limited abilityof the formal sector to absorb labor, then comes
the work of the informal sector which is considered as a safety
valve in employment. Until now the occupational health and
safety (OHS) conditions of the informal sector is very poor.
The problems of OHS in informal sectors are: lack of understanding
of OHS, have no health insurance, not officially registered,
and no compensation due to occupational accidents and
occupational related diseases. The government has launched
a program of protection and health services to the poor and
near poor (Jamkesmas), however this effort is still being felt
not quite successful and has not touched the health and safety
aspects of the informal sector. Large companies are already
implementing health and safety management systems work
through the CSR program is one of the most strategic
alternatives in improving the occupational health and safety
condition of informal sector.
