Abstract
This study aims to find out what risk factors that can cause work accidents in the respondent seen from individual / worker factors, employment factors and work environment conditions. The research method used is analytic survey with cross sectional approach. The test that will be used to analyze the results is the chi square test because the data is categorical.
The results showed that there was a significant relationship between weather conditions and workplace accidents with the value of p = 0,000 and there was no significant relationship between individual factors such as age (p = 0,193), nutritional status (p = 0,562) and knowledge level (p = 0,567 ) with the incidence of occupational accidents. Likewise there is no significant relationship between work factors in the form of work period (p = 0.833) and workload (p = 0.570) with the incidence of workplace accidents in the beneficiary.
Based on these results, it is suggested to the beneficiaries that in carrying out their work activities they should be carried out during sunny weather conditions so that the climbing trees are not slippery and the possibility of an accident will not occur.
