Geothermal Power Plant (PLTP) activities cannot be separated from the risk of work accidents. Near misses are the precursors of work accidents, therefore it is necessary to have awareness of workers in reporting incidents and proper management to prevent serious accidents in the future. This study aims to determine the reported near misses, factors that influence the behavioral intention to report near misses, manage reported near misses, and provide intervention recommendations on factors that influence the behavioral intention to report near misses and near misses that occur in PT. X. This study uses a mixed method with a questionnaire method, focus group discussion, with workers, observations and interviews to see the behavioral intentions of reporting workers and management of near misses at PT.X. The variables used to determine the behavioral intention of reporting near misses are internal factors in the form of demographics, namely age, gender, years of service, education, training and history of accidents, incidents and near misses with the attitude of workers as mediators and external factors in the form of management support and supervisors. safety performance pressure, fear of punishment and social perception in the work environment. Validity and reliability tests were carried out before distributing the questionnaires. After the questionnaire was declared valid and reliable, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 160 workers with a response rate of (90.39%). After that, a Focus Group Discussion was held with worker representatives without managerial assistance so that workers were more flexible in expressing their perspectives. Questionnaire results will be analyzed with Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS 3.0 software with the aim of verifying the model with validity and reliability tests and testing research hypotheses and recorded transcripts of Focus Group Discussion results and will be analyzed using content analysis with NVivo ver. 12® to explore further the themes that emerged in the FGDs. Based on the results of the analysis of the questionnaire and Focus Group Discussion, it shows that there is a significant influence on internal factors, such as years of service at PLTP, recent education, near miss training, attitudes, and external factors, such as management support and supervisors, fear of punishment, and social perceptions in work environment on workers' intentions to report near misses at PT.X and attitudes can be a good mediator for behavioral intentions to report near misses at PT.X. The management of reported near misses will be analyzed using the Risk Register 5x5 PT.X, and it will be found that the reported near misses have 3 low risk levels, 1 medium risk level, and 4 high risk levels. Intervention recommendations that can be given to promote reporting of near misses in the PT.X are that management can provide in-depth education to new workers and workers who have a low level of education, provide special training on near misses, make near miss reporting features easy and simple, explaining clearly that there is no blame culture in the reporting system, and finally management can build synergy and solidarity in each division through several programs. Intervention recommendations that can be given for near misses reported at PT.X are always carrying out regular inspections and maintenance of equipment, ensuring that electrical equipment and power cables are at a safe distance so that they are not easily accessible by other activities, providing appropriate education and training to every worker and always pay attention to good housekeeping in the entire work environment of PT.X.
