The Impact of IoT Implementation on the Effectiveness of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System in Automotive Companies
Keywords:
IoT Implementation, SMK3 Effectiveness, K3 ManagementAbstract
This digital transformation fundamentally reshapes how organizations manage operational processes, including occupational safety management. This study aims to empirically examine the effect of Internet of Things (IoT) implementation on the effectiveness of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) in automotive companies. A total of 120 respondents were involved, including OSH officers, production supervisors, technicians, and production line operators. The independent variable in this study is the level of utilization of sensor-based technology, smart devices, and digital monitoring systems to support occupational safety risk control. The findings indicate that IoT implementation has a positive and significant effect on OHSMS effectiveness, with a regression coefficient of 0.703 and coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.551. The results highlight the strategic role of IoT in enhancing proactive and data-driven safety management.
