In Indonesia, traffic
accidents are one of the biggest causes of death. Based on the number of
accidents for the end of 2014 in Southeast Sulawesi increased compared to 2015.
The number of traffic accidents occurring in Southeast Sulawesi is dominated by
productive ages. Based on the description of traffic accidents case needs to do
some review both from previous research result and based on some theory, then
done by giving the solution based on safety and health science so that traffic
accidents case does not increase from year to year especially in Southeast
Sulawesi area. This study aims to find out the causes of the increasing number
of traffic accidents in Southeast Sulawesi, review the driving behavior based
on Health Belief Model (HBM) Theory and conduct Traffic Accident Control
efforts reviewed based on Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) approach. This
research use case study method and literature study. Primary data obtained from
direct interviews with experts in their field. Secondary data obtained online
media review literature. Research results indicate that the cause of the
increasing number of traffic accidents in Southeast Sulawesi is unsafe behavior
in driving, especially in the productive age. Based on a review of driving
behavior using HBM theory it is found that drivers who drive in good behavior
can avoid and can prevent accidental conditions otherwise poor driving behavior
can lead to accidents. Although the driving behavior is also inseparable from
the level of education, culture. Efforts to reduce the number of traffic
accidents based on the approach of Occupational Safety and Health Sciences that
is with early detection and prevention by civilizing OSH in driving such as the
use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Safety culture in driving should be
done with promotion and training. The conclusion of unsafe behavior in driving
as the cause of work accident can be suppressed by civilizing OSH before driving.
