Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the number of This study aims to analyze the relationship between the number of workplace accidents and the level of membership in the Indonesian Social Security Agency for Employment (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan) in 2024. The background of this study is based on the phenomenon of an increase in the number of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan participants accompanied by an increase in the number of workplace accident reports. This condition raises critical questions about whether there is a quantitative relationship between the two variables. Using a quantitative approach and simple linear regression method, this study analyzes aggregate data per province obtained from BPJS Ketenagakerjaan and the Ministry of Manpower. The results of the analysis show a positive and significant relationship between BPJS Ketenagakerjaan membership rates and the number of recorded workplace accidents.

These findings show that as the number of workers participating in BPJS Ketenagakerjaan increases, the reporting of work accidents has also become more structured and well documented. In other words, the increase in the number of reported work accidents not only reflects an increase in incidents, but also reflects an increasingly effective reporting system. This shows that the existence and coverage of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan play an important role in supporting transparency, accountability, and the formation of a better work safety culture. This role also strengthens the social protection system for workers in Indonesia, while promoting collective awareness of the importance of a safe and healthy work environment.
