Effect of Behavior-Based Safety and Bow Tie Program on Safety Culture Maturity of LV Drivers at PT BJU, Indonesia

Abstract

This study examines how behavioral safety practices and the Bow Tie Program affect the maturity of safety culture among Light Vehicle (LV) drivers at PT Bumi Jasa Utama (BJU) in 2024. The study arises from ongoing concerns about workplace accidents in high-risk sectors, highlighting the need for stronger safety measures. To analyze the influence of behavioral safety practices and the Bow Tie Program on the maturity of safety culture among LV drivers at PT BJU. A total of 127 LV drivers were included as research subjects. Statistical analysis was conducted using path modeling techniques through AMOS software to test the relationships between variables. The results of the study, obtained through completed surveys and structured interviews, showed that behavioral safety significantly and positively influenced the maturity of the safety culture at PT BJU (t = 0.527, p < 0.001). Additionally, the results of the multivariate test indicated that the indirect effect of work safety behavior on safety culture maturity, mediated by the implementation of the Bow Tie Program, had a positive value of 0.068. These results suggest that as driver work safety behavior improves, the effectiveness of the Bow Tie Program also increases, leading to higher safety culture maturity. Furthermore, with a p-value of 0.017 (<0.05), the indirect effect is significant, thus supporting the hypothesis (Ha).
