HRM will ensure that all company operational activities run smoothly and under control. Therefore. HRM will carry out work planning in advance which includes the number of workers needed, equipment and supplies that will be used during operational activities, as well as related to the division of tasks and also working time in order to create a balance between work and individual performance levels. Work planning is a strategic process in managing the workforce that aims to create a balance between company needs and employee welfare. The result of work planning is a result that ensures that employee continuity not only maintains the company's productivity level but also ensures employees can enjoy their work comfortably and safely(Priyatono, 2. course, this has been planned in advance between production management and Human Resources However, it turns out that the planning carried out is still not perfect, which directly contributes to the high number of work One of the main causes identified was worker fatigue due to long working hours and minimal rest time. Many workers in the region reportedly work up to 15 hours per day without days off, which increases the risk of accidents due to decreased focus and stamina (Litha, 2. This shows that workforce planning that does not consider safety aspects can have a negative impact on workers' welfare (Waititu et al. , 2. The lack of strict regulations in regulating working hours and supervising working conditions is a major challenge in HRM planning in the Morowali Industrial area (Dhewy, 2. Excessive focus on productivity without regard to the balance between workload and worker health creates highrisk conditions . In addition, communication barriers between foreign workers and local employees also exacerbate the situation, as miscommunication can hinder the effective implementation of safety procedures (Kamal Bahrain et al. , 2. Thus, weaknesses in HRM planning not only impact the performance of individual workers, but also increase the overall potential for accidents (Suhendra, 2. Employees who feel comfortable and safe at work will be more productive in completing their duties in accordance with the field in which they work (Rahmi et al. , 2. However, when workers get various unrest both due to lack of work safety guarantees and ineffective division of tasks and work time, it can cause employees to experience fatigue and can even trigger accidents at work (Agus Yudha Prawira Adistana et al. , 2. This problem occurs in one of the companies in Indonesia. PT Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP) (Nanang, 2. This company is a company that manages a nickel-based industrial area with the longest industrial chain in the world whose main products are nickel, stainless steel and carbon The company not only recruits employees from the local community but also recruits employees from foreign countries. The company applies this to get various ideas, innovations and different perspectives to get the best decision. This research aims to analyze how the lack of HRM planning contributes to the high number of workplace accidents in the Morowali Industrial Using a qualitative approach, this research will explore the factors that lead to weak workforce planning, its impact on workplace safety, and the solutions that can be applied to improve the HRM system to be more oriented towards worker safety Jurnal Studi Manajemen dan Bisnis Vol. 2025: 1-8 and welfare. Through this research, it is hoped that companies and stakeholders can understand the importance of workforce planning that is not only oriented towards productivity, but also on the safety and health aspects of workers (Industrial. METHOD This research was conducted by collecting data from various written sources through the literature study method. This technique involves reviewing books, journals, documents, and reports relevant to the research topic (Chigbu et al. , 2. analyze the cases discussed, the approach used is a literature study combined with qualitative research This approach aims to understand various phenomena related to the experiences of research subjects, including aspects of behavior, perception, and motivation (Queirys et al. , 2. This research was conducted in depth by applying a qualitative descriptive approach, which emphasizes the use of words and language in a natural context and based on systematic scientific methods (FUADDAH & FRIDAYNE, 2. existing PPE, so they are reluctant to use it properly (Novianto, 2. This risks increasing work accidents that could have been prevented with better protection. In addition to problems related to PPE and fatigue, company policies that prioritize nickel production rather than worker safety also contribute to the high accident rate (Quiroz et al. With a strong focus on increasing production, workers' working hours become very long, without considering the potential impact on safety (Ramadani, 2. These prioritized productions often neglect worker safety, and tired physical conditions and the pressure to meet production targets increase the likelihood of accidents. The survey also showed that most workers at IMIP do not have an educational background relevant to the industrial world, such as engineering or occupational safety. Many workers have educational backgrounds such as teacher training, medical care, or other fields that are not directly related to safety in the workplace (Lahay & Dedi, 2. This indicates that many workers do not have sufficient understanding of the importance of safety and OSH procedures that must be implemented in an industrial Therefore, despite training efforts regarding OSH, workers' understanding is still very limited and increases the risk of accidents. While the company has made several efforts to improve safety, such as internal and external training and regular safety meetings, the survey shows that there are still many areas that need The system of supervision and procedures needs to be improved, and these improvements must cover all aspects, from company policies to more effective supervision and training for workers (Susilawati et al. , 2. The government must also be more active in supervising the implementation of occupational safety standards in this industry so that work accidents can be minimized (Bagaskara, 2. In addition to challenges related to fatigue, personal protective equipment (PPE), and company policies, misunderstandings between local workers and foreign workers (TKA) are also one of the factors that worsen occupational safety in the Morowali industrial estate (Pranadita et al. RESULTS Based on the results of a survey conducted by the Federation of Mining and Energy of the Confederation of Indonesian Trade Unions (FPE KSBSI), several main factors were found that caused the high number of work accidents in the Morowali industrial area. Central Sulawesi, one of which was very long working hours, which led to physical fatigue of workers (Tuk Indonesia, 2. At IMIP, the average worker works about 56 hours per week, or more than 225 hours per month, which is far beyond the standard of healthy working hours. This fatigue has the potential to reduce workers' vigilance, increasing the possibility of work accidents (Sarjan Lahay, 2. In addition to the problem of fatigue, the survey implementation of an effective occupational safety and health (K. culture at IMIP. The weak implementation of K3 occurs due to inadequate supervision from the management and a less harmonious relationship between local workers and foreign workers (TKA) (Aryo Bhawono, 2. This worsens the condition and adds to the difficulties in carrying out the work safety procedures that have been established. Another factor that worsens work safety in this area is the inadequacy of personal protective equipment (PPE). Although companies provide PPE for workers, survey results show that the use of PPE is often not in accordance with applicable safety regulations. Some workers also feel uncomfortable with the Analysis of Lack of Work Planning: A Case Study of High Work Accidents at PT Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park 2. This communication barrier generally occurs due to differences in culture, language, and understanding of work safety procedures. Local workers often feel neglected or undervalued by foreign workers, hindering effective cooperation in implementing safety In emergency conditions or high-risk work, this lack of understanding can slow down the necessary response and increase the risk of accidents (Maryanto, 2. The lack of clear lines of communication and the lack of cross-cultural understanding also exacerbates the situation, creating a less conducive work environment. addition, weak supervision from management makes this communication problem even more difficult to overcome, thus affecting the effectiveness of implementing work safety in the field (Prameswari, 2. Overall, while there have been some efforts that have been made by imip and companies operating in the region to improve occupational safety, many fundamental issues still need to be Too much focus on production without paying attention to workers' welfare, excessive working hours, insufficient ppe, and lack of understanding of osh among workers must be addressed immediately. Companies and governments need to make major changes so that occupational safety becomes a top priority, which in turn will reduce the number of frequent work accidents (SALMAWATI ET AL. , 2.
