Work-related accidents in the maritime sector, particularly during cargo handling in ports, pose a significant challenge to worker safety. This study aims to analyze the factors causing work accidents on the KMP Kalabia ship during cargo handling and identify preventive measures that can be implemented to reduce accident rates. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method using in-depth interviews and field observations with the ship's crew and port supervisors. The results of the study indicate that the main causes of work accidents on the KMP Kalabia ship are low compliance with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) usage, lack of understanding of proper cargo lashing procedures, inadequate supervision, and equipment failures such as overloaded ramp doors. This study recommends enhancing continuous safety training, enforcing stricter discipline in PPE usage, and implementing real-time monitoring technologies to strengthen supervision during cargo handling activities.
