Literature Review of Indicators of Occupational Health and Safety Performance Evaluation Tools

Occupational health and safety (OHS) in the industrial world, especially in Indonesia, has become an increasing concern. Various efforts have been made, including developing and implementing laws, regulations, and standards to provide a framework for organizations to practice and enhance the prevention of work-related accidents and illnesses, aiming to place worker welfare at the center of production system design. However, the occurrence of some workplace accidents indicates that OHS performance evaluation still needs to be measured and improved. In this literature review, we outline the scope of research on performance evaluation and provide comments on the suitability of proposed instruments for industrial use. Methods: This study uses a systematic review design with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews & Meta Analyses) method. Information and data searches were conducted using databases from Science Direct, Elsevier, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The keywords used include occupational health and safety, performance evaluation tools, performance indicators, performance measurement, performance tools, evaluation tools, and Industry. This research allowed us to identify nine OHS performance evaluation tools. Our main conclusion is that field researchers have shown little interest in generalizing OHS performance evaluation instruments, and none of the nine tools studied can be appropriately applied to all industrial fields. The specificity of the industrial context has not attracted significant attention from many OHS researchers. Developing tools that offer a broader choice of performance indicators to OHS specialists intervening in industrial environments will significantly contribute to improving accident prevention in the workplace.
