There is a relationship between knowledge level (p=0.021), OHS commitment (p=0.035), and work environment (p=0.036) with OHSMS implementation. There is a relationship between the level of knowledge, OHS commitment, and the work environment with the implementation of OHSMS in the production section at PT Abaisiat Raya workers. It is expected that the company can increase the provision of information about OHS, increase OHS commitment by providing training related to occupational safety principles, and complete OHS signs in the work environment.
