Hazards in the field of engineering need to be emphasized because this field has various risks in terms of safety and health, especially those involving practical tasks in workshops and engineering laboratories. Users, particularly engineering students, can be exposed to various types of chemicals, ergonomic, electrical and mechanical hazards that require strict regulations regarding laboratory and workshop safety. The aims of this study are to determine the level of safety and health hazards based on the Guidelines for Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control (HIRARC) and Simple Risk Assessment and Control (SiRAC) in laboratories and workshops and suggest improvement strategies and safety measures against safety and health risks in Department of Electrical Engineering (JKE) laboratories and workshops. The questionnaire forms, HIRARC and SiRARC are used for the purpose of collecting KAP data and determining the level of risk. The respondents consisted of 154 students who followed the Diploma in Electrical Engineering program from the Department of Electrical Engineering who used laboratories and workshops. The data obtained through a quantitative questionnaire method including demographic aspects and KAP will be analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science Software edition 28 (IBM SPSS 28). The results of the study show that the mean for level of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) is above 4.0. The correlation results, KAP has a significant linear relationship for all variables on risk management. This study can help the institution to improve the level of safety and health among students particularly in the Technical and Vocational Educational Training Program (TVET) in addition to assessing and taking the necessary follow-up actions to ensure the comfort and excellence of students in the future.
