(174 people), and Quality Sub Unit (109 people). The 
research sample was taken using the Proportional 
Stratified Random Sampling technique, with a total 
sample of 194 people. 
As for the variables studied were the relationship 
between gender, age, work period and level of 
education on the incidence of workplace accidents in 
the Phylon Injection Unit of PT. X. Data collection is 
done by filling in the questionnaire given to the 
leaders of each sub-unit with the number of 
questionnaires given in accordance with the number 
of samples that have been determined in each sub-
unit, which is then distributed to workers randomly in 
their respective every sub-units. 
3 THEORY REVIEW 
Work accidents are unexpected or unintentional 
events because they result in losses, both material, 
and suffering for those who experience (Rezeki, 
2015).  
The classification of work accidents according to 
Tarwaka (2014), can be broadly explained as follows: 
1.  Classification according to the type of accident, 
such as falling, falling or falling objects or work 
objects, tripping over objects or objects, bumping 
into objects, sandwiched between two objects, 
forced movements or excessive muscle stretching, 
exposure to or contact with hot objects or 
temperatures high, exposed to or hazardous 
materials or radiation, etc., 
2.  Classification according to the causative agent, 
which is the cause of machinery, such as: driving 
machines except for electric motors, transmission 
engines, production machines, mining machinery, 
agricultural machinery, etc., means of lifting and 
conveying equipment for example, forklifts, rails, 
wheeled vehicles other than trains, water 
conveyance, air conveyance, etc., causes of other 
equipment, such as pressure vessels, smelting 
furnaces/kitchens, electric installations including 
motors electricity, electrical hand tools, tools, 
ladders, scaffolding, etc., causes of hazardous 
materials and radiation, such as explosive 
materials, dust, gas, liquids, chemicals, radiation, 
etc., causes work environment, such as hot 
pressure and cold pressure, high noise intensity, 
vibration, underground space, and others. 
3.  Classification according to type of injury and 
injury, such as fractures, sprains/dislocations/ 
sprains, muscle pain and spasms, concussion and 
other internal wounds. amputation and 
enucleation, cuts and other external injuries, 
bruises and cracks, burns, acute poisoning, aspixia 
or shortness of breath. 
There are three main causes of work accidents 
(Rezeki, 2015), namely: 
1.  Work equipment and tools, unavailability of 
safety and protective equipment for workers, 
2.  The condition of the workplace that does not meet 
the requirements. 
3.  Lack of employee knowledge and experience 
about work methods and work safety as well as 
physical and mental conditions of workers that are 
not good. 
From several theories about the factors that cause 
accidents, accidents occur caused by three main 
factors namely, humans, tools, and the environment 
in accordance with the theory of Three Main Factors 
(Sucipto, 2014). 
1.  Human Factors 
a.  Gender 
Definition of gender is the division or division 
of two human sexes that are biologically 
determined that are attached to a particular sex 
(Fakih, 2010). The types of work between men 
and women are very different. The social 
division of labor between men and women 
causes differences in the types of jobs that 
people receive, so work accidents are 
experienced differently. There are more male 
work accidents than women. Responsibly, the 
concentration and prudence of men and 
women differ so that adjustments are needed 
in workload and work policies, including 
when doing work that requires caution and 
accuracy. These two things men need policy 
adjustments in the work process (Erlina, 
2017). 
According to research conducted by Riyadina 
(2014), it is found that male workers have 
doubled the number of 647 workers compared 
to female workers as many as 303 workers and 
shows that p-value <0.05 which means there is 
a relationship between sex with the incidence 
work accidents with the risk of male workers 
having work accidents 3.25 (95% CI: 2.29-
4.62) times compared to female workers due 
to lack of prudence of male workers while 
doing work. 
b.  Age 
The age of workers is regulated by the Labor 
Law, namely the Law of January 6, 1951, No.1 
Article 1. Young workers generally have a 
stronger, dynamic, and creative physique, but 
are easily bored, lack responsibility, tend to be 
absent, and turnover is low.
