Abstract.
The implementation of the 5S concept (Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, dan Shitzuke) is
one of the efforts to prevent accidents in the industry by making the work environment
safe and comfortable. This research aims to analyze the implementation of 5S on
workers. This study used a cross-sectional design with a total sample of 75 people. The
results showed that 52% respondents applied the 5S concept well, 84% respondents
were male, 76% respondents had new work period, 84% respondents had low
education, 58.7% respondents had good knowledge, 92% respondents had a positive

1. Introduction
Selection and Peer-review under
the responsibility of the ICHSSE
Conference Committee.
The changes in the industrial world are getting faster, and more jobs companies want.
The very rapid industrial growth is certainly accompanied by an increase in the use of
machinery, equipment and hazardous materials. The use of machinery, equipment and
hazardous materials in an industrial activity as well as interactions with the environment
and workers have the potential to cause occupational diseases and accidents. Work
accidents cause adverse effects not only damage to equipment, loss of property,
cause environmental pollution and can even cause death. Accidents losses need to
be prevented and minimized. Accident prevention efforts can be carried out through
the development of a work culture so that it becomes a safety culture in the workplace.

The results of the study indicate that a safety culture has a significant impact on reducing
unsafe behavior in the workplace[1]. Through a good safety culture, it will also support
the realization of a safe, comfortable workplace and avoid hazard[2]. The existence of a
work culture will reduce the incidence of work accidents, one of which is work culture,
namely the 5S culture[3].
The 5S program is an adaptation of 5S (Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, Shitsuke) which
was developed in Japan by Hiroyuki Hirano and has been used by many countries
around the world[4]. The simple 5S concept is often overlooked. Industry without 5S
will not be able to perform properly. In Japan, people call 5S the foundation for all kinds
of industries. Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, Shitsuke (5S) has an understanding of a
concise, neat, clean, caring, and diligent workplace. The application of the 5S concept
is a solid foundation in welcoming the industrial era [5].
Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, Shitsuke (5S) is a culture of how a person treats the
workplace properly. If the workplace is neat, clean, and orderly, it will make it easier for
individuals to work, and thus the 4 main target areas of the industry, namely efficiency,
productivity, quality, and occupational safety and health, will be more easily achieved. 5S
is a process of changing attitudes by implementing work arrangements and hygiene, or
in general is Occupational Safety and Health (K3) [6]. Another research shows that there
is a significant relationship between the application of concise, neat, and caring aspects
with the incidence of work accidents among construction workers[7]. Previous research
showed there is a relationship between gender, tenure with 5S behavior in nurses
at Pasar Rebo Hospital Jakarta [8]. Other research states that there is a relationship
between education level, work motivation, knowledge and attitude with the application
of 5S to workers in the rambak cracker industry in the hamlet of Krajan [9], [10].
Implementing the 5S culture will affect increasing efficiency and quality in the workplace. The 5S culture itself is a way or method to organize and manage a better and more
sustainable workplace. One of the benefits of implementing a 5S culture is increasing
productivity due to more efficient workplace arrangements [3], [6], [11]
The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases, and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) reports that in 2019 as many as 29% of injuries to workers were due to slips, trips,
and falls. The Labor Force Survey estimates that in 2019 as many as 29% of 581,000
workers were injured for more than 7 days due to slips, trips, and falls [12]. Based on
BPJS Employment data, in 2018 there were 114,148 workplace accidents and in 2019
there were 77,295 cases. This shows that there has been a 33.05% decrease in accident

cases in the workplace [13]. Banten Province is one of the provinces with a decrease in
the number of work accidents and 250 companies in Banten were awarded the zeroaccident award [14]. This research aims to determine the factors associated with the
implementation of 5S on workers.

According table 1, it can be seen that 5S has not been implemented optimally. There
are still 48% of respondents who stated that the implementation of 5S is not good. The
education level of the majority of respondents belongs to low education (≤SMA) with
more than 6 years of work period. The results also show that knowledge, attitudes and
motivation are in the good category.

4. Discussion
Based on research result is known that 52% of workers apply 5S well. This research
is in line with previous research, where in this study it can be concluded that as many
as 96.2% of paper mill unit workers at Pura Barutama Kudus Ltd. have implemented 5S
well.11 (Rosnasari, 2017) Based on the opinion of other reseach, the application of 5S is
an industrial culture and if the 5S culture is not applied in the industry or company, the
workplace will become dirty, slippery, scattered, and irregular will result in a source of
danger [9].
In the gender variable, the results were dominated by male workers as much as 84%.
This is because the need for male workers is more than for females. All-male or female
workers who work in the same place with the same facilities and the same rules, when
men and women work in the same place, they will apply certain patterns of interaction
and different types of people. gender also plays a role in this interaction [8]. Based on
research result, it can be seen that respondents who are male are mostly not good
at implementing 5S (55.6%), while female respondents are good at implementing 5S
(91.7%). The results of the analysis showed that there is a relationship between gender
and the application of 5S to workers. Male respondents have 14 times the chance not to
apply 5S compared to female respondents. This study is in line with previous research
which states that there is a relationship between gender and 5S behavior. The existence
of male gender differences also determines their respective roles in work. Men have
physical and psychological differences. The difference between men and women can
be seen in the physical such as muscle ability, endurance, posture, and so on. So that
it can be related to the incidence of certain work accidents[2], [8].
According of research, respondent who have long work period are not good at implementing 5S (72.2%) than respondents who have new work period. The results of the
analysis show that there is a relationship between work period and the implementation
of 5S to workers. Respondents with long work period have 4 times the opportunity to
not apply 5S well than respondents with new work period. The results showed that
work period dominated by workers who have a new work period (< 6 years working).
The working period can have a positive or negative impact on a worker[15].Worker
with new work period has high motivation to increase knowledge, experience and
productivity. Previous research also said that there is relationship between motivation
with productivity[16]. Positive influences that will be received by the workforce include
DOI 10.18502/kss.v8i14.13824
Page 116
ICHSSE
increasing experience and better skills after working for a long time in the worker’s
place of work. While the negative impact that workers can receive is being exposed to
potential hazards every day from the place or environment they work. This study is in
line with research which states that there is a relationship between work period and 5S
behavior [8].
Based on Table 2, it can be seen that respondents who have a high level of education
have balanced results in implementing the 5S (50%). The results of the analysis show
that there is no relationship between the level of education and the application of 5S
to workers. This study is in line with previous research which stated that there was no
relationship between education level and 5S behavior [8]. This study also in line with
previous research with state that there is no relationship between education level with
accident in workers[17].On the variable level of education, the results are dominated by
workers who have a low level of education as much as 84%. It is said that the level of
education is low if it has elementary, middle, and high school education. Meanwhile,
it is said that the level of education is high if it has tertiary education. Education is a
process of changing the attitudes and behavior of a person or group to teach and train.
Education is needed to get information, for example, something that can support health
so that it can improve the quality of life[18]. The level of education is very influential in
the program to increase knowledge directly and indirectly on behavior[19].
A person’s education affects a person’s mindset in dealing with the work entrusted
to him, besides that education will also affect the level of absorption of the training
provided to carry out work and work safety. The relationship between education level
and available fields is that workers with low levels of education, such as elementary
school or even never attending school, will work in fields that rely on physical activity[20].
Based on research, it can be seen that respondents who have low knowledge are
not good at implementing the 5S (51.6%), while respondents who have high knowledge
and are good at implementing the 5S (54.5%). The results concluded that there is no
relationship between knowledge and the application of 5S to workers. This research
is in line with previous research which states that there is no relationship between
knowledge with 5S behavior [8]. This research isn’t supported by previous research
with statistical test results which show that there is significant relationship between
knowledge and 5S practice [21].
Knowledge is the result of knowing, and this occurs after people have sensed a
certain object. Sensing occurs through the human senses, namely the senses of sight,
DOI 10.18502/kss.v8i14.13824
Page 117
ICHSSE
hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Most human knowledge is obtained through the eyes
and ears [22]. Knowledge is a very important aspect of a person’s behavior, when a
worker has extensive knowledge about the application of 5S, then every time he does
his job the worker will always apply the 5S aspect, so that it can improve the culture
of 5S implementation and can reduce the number of work accidents, especially due to
poor implementation of 5S. The higher the knowledge of workers, the more likely they
will apply the 5S culture at work. In this research, knowledge is not significantly related
with 5S implementation. Knowledge is not the only one factor causing implementation
of 5S. There are many things cause of behavior change, include education, perception,
motivation, facilities and infrastructures, policy and etc.
In the attitude variable, almost all workers have a positive attitude of 92%. This is
in line with previous research which stated that the paper mill unit workers at Pura
Barutama Kudus Ltd. almost entirely had a positive attitude of 96.2% [10]. Attitude is
an evaluation or reaction to feelings. A person’s attitude towards an object is a feeling
of supporting or taking sides as well as feelings of being unsupportive. Attitude is not
always correlation with behavior. Attitude are influenced by knowledge and education
level although other research mention that there is no significant correlation between
attitude with behavior especially unsafe behavior [17], [23].
Based on Table 2, it can be seen that respondents who have a negative attitude are
more likely to be not good at implementing the 5S (83.3%), while respondents who have
a positive attitude (55.1%) are good at implementing the 5S. Attitude in a narrow sense
is a mental view or tendency. Attitude is a tendency to react to a thing, person, or thing
with likes, dislikes, or indifference.25 (Sabri, 2010) Attitude is one of the basic aspects
that are very important in a person to determine whether he will act or implement
5S or not, because then the workers already know the management’s commitment to
implementing the safety aspects of workers starting from the basics, namely always
keep the work environment concise, neat, clean, caring and diligent. minimize work
accidents and occupational diseases. In this research, there is no relationship between
attitude with 5S implementation. This is because attitudes are influenced by education
level and knowledge[23].
In the work motivation variable, the results are dominated by workers who have
strong work motivation as much as 66.7%. The strong motivation of workers is due to
a salary that is in accordance with the Regional Minimum Wage (UMK), a timely salary
schedule, a sense of security and social needs that are met, and also the fullfill off need
DOI 10.18502/kss.v8i14.13824

ICHSSE
for self-esteem and self-actualization. This research is in line with previous research
which stated that the paper mill unit workers at Pura Barutama Ltd. almost all have
good work motivation as much as 94.2% [10]. Work motivation is important because
with this motivation it is expected that every individual employee is enthusiastic and
wants to work hard to achieve high work productivity [24].
Based on Table 2, it can be seen that respondents who have weak work motivation
are mostly not good at implementing the 5S (52.0%), while respondents who have strong
work motivations (54.0%) are good at implementing the 5S. The results of the analysis
show that there is no relationship between work motivation and the application of 5S to
workers. This research is in line with that carried out on paper mill unit workers at Pura
Barutama Kudus Ltd. It’s stated that there was no relationship between work motivation
and the implementation of the 5S program[10]. Motivation is the process of influencing
or encouraging from outside a person or workgroup so that they want to carry out
something that has been determined [25]. Work motivation is important because with
this motivation it is expected that every individual employee is enthusiastic and wants
to work hard to achieve high work productivity [24]. In this research, motivation is not
significantly related with 5S implementation because the most of workers have strong
work motivation.
5. Conclusion
Based on research result, can be concluded that gender and work period are related
to 5S implementation in works. Male workers and those who have a new work period
have good 5S implementation. For future studies, its recommendation to analyze bout
5S implementation with accident in the work place.
6. Funding
