Abstract : XYZ Tofu Factory is a factory engaged in food production, namely making tofu. The XYZ Tofu Factory produces 21,000 to 28,000 tofu in a day. It is undeniable that various types of hazards can occur, starting from the initial process to the final production. Some of the causes are due to the lack of awareness of employers on occupational health and safety. Currently, the implementation of good occupational safety and health has not been widely applied at many companies. For this reason, it is necessary to identify occupational safety and health hazards (K3) to determine potential hazard risks, hazard assessments, and worker risk control. This type of research is qualitative using the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control (HIRARC) method as a research method. Based on the results of the risk assessment that has been carried out, the risk categories in the XYZ Tofu Factory are 7 moderate risk categories with a percentage of 27%, high-risk categories of 16 with a percentage of 62% and very high-risk categories of 3 with a percentage of 11%. Based on the results of the research, it was found that jobs with a very high level of risk are in the activities of grinding, boiling, and screening, controls that can be taken to reduce these risks are cleaning the work area of stagnant water and scattered soybeans, replacing all equipment and cables on the better production processes that are no longer suitable for use, provide K3 signs in the production area as well as carry out regular monitoring and checking of worker conditions, room conditions, tools or machines to prevent unwanted things from happening.
