Abstract

This study aims to design and implement the 5S work culture of Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke in order to improve Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) in a textile company, a complex textile industry and production facility. Based on the company's internal reports, workplace accidents are caused by disorganized workplaces, including improper equipment layout and suboptimal cleanliness levels. As a solution to these issues, the 5S system is implemented to create an organized, clean, and safe work environment. This study employs the 5S and Kaizen approaches as continuous improvements toward OSH. The implementation of 5S at the facility includes sorting necessary items (Seiri), arranging equipment (Seiton), regular cleaning (Seiso), maintaining cleanliness and accountability standards (Seiketsu), and fostering a disciplined behavioral culture (Shitsuke). The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the 5S culture in the textile company improves operational personnel efficiency, reduces the risk of workplace accidents, and creates a safe, healthy, and comfortable workplace. Company support and active worker participation are also key factors in the success of 5S implementation. Therefore, this study can serve as a reference for other companies seeking to systematically and continuously improve various aspects of OSH.
