Abstract

       

This research aimed to study: (1) safety enhancement factors in the workplace, (2) work efficiency, (3) a comparison of work efficiency among crane operators in a specific company classified by personal data, and (4) safety enhancement factors that influenced work efficiency. The sample group consisted of 120 participants, and a questionnaire was used as the research instrument. The statistical methods employed for data analysis included percentage, mean, t-test, F-test (One-way ANOVA), and multiple regression analysis.

The results revealed that most respondents were aged between 21 and 30 years, had completed lower secondary education, had over 10 years of work experience, and operated cranes with capacities ranging from 210 to 400 tons. The safety enhancement factors (3E) were rated as highly important. The overall mean score for work efficiency was at a high level of agreement. Personal factors such as age, education level, years of experience, and crane size did not significantly affect work efficiency. However, engineering and enforcement safety factors were found to have had a statistically significant influence on work efficiency at the 0.05 level.
