Occupational Health and Safety

The Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Concentration at the Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Jember (FKM UNEJ), aims to develop students' expertise in creating safe and healthy work environments. Students in this concentration study various aspects of OHS, including the identification, evaluation, and control of workplace hazards that may endanger worker health and safety. The primary focus is on applying occupational health and safety principles across various industries to prevent workplace accidents and occupational diseases, thereby enhancing overall worker well-being. With this knowledge, students will be able to design and implement effective and sustainable OHS programs.

Through a comprehensive, practice-based curriculum, the K3 concentration integrates theory with real-world field applications, including laboratory practice, case studies, and research projects. Students are trained in measuring and analyzing workplace risk factors, developing occupational safety and health (K3) training programs, and managing workplace health and safety. Guided by experienced lecturers and supported by adequate facilities, K3 graduates are expected to make significant contributions across various sectors, including manufacturing, construction, mining, and healthcare services. They will be prepared to serve as competent K3 professionals, capable of addressing workplace challenges and promoting a proactive safety culture within their organizations.
