Abstract

The informal sector/SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) play a significant role in Indonesia's economy. However, this sector often faces various occupational safety and health (OSH) risks. An OSH management system can help SMEs manage OSH risks and improve their business performance. This study aims to examine the factors that contribute to the successful implementation of occupational safety and health (OSH) management systems in the informal sector/SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises). The study employs a systematic literature review methodology following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis). The study was conducted in April 2024, searching for relevant articles from reputable sources such as Google Scholar, ProQuest, and ScienceDirect. The review encompassed 16 relevant articles and revealed that the factors contributing to the successful implementation of OSH programs can be categorized into two main factors: external and internal factors. External factors play a crucial role in enabling the successful implementation of OSH management systems in the informal sector/SMEs. Supportive roles from the government, private sector, and relevant organizations play a crucial role in this success. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers. Policymakers can craft supportive measures such as financial aid and clear regulations. Practitioners can leverage these factors to tailor effective OHSMS implementation strategies for individual SMEs. Future research holds the potential to develop more efficient models and conducting context-specific studies to improve OSH practices in this vital sector.
