INTRODUCTION
In the current development in Indonesia, the implementation of ESG (Environmental.
Social, and Governanc.
is a standard used by companies, investors, and organizations to measure the sustainability and impact of corporate social ESG is a framework that assesses the extent to which an entity pays attention to environmental, social, and governance factors in its operations.
This standard is important in supporting long-term goals, sustainability, and providing added value to stakeholders.
The implementation of ESG is not only driven by regulations, but also by increasing market and investor demands to ensure that companies are environmentally, socially, and governance responsible.
The implementation of ESG (Environmental.
Social, and Governanc.
has a legal basis that refers to various laws and regulations, including Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management, and Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower Regulating workers' rights, welfare, and protection of workers.
Occupational safety is a very important aspect of every work environment, especially in industries that have high risks.
According to data from the Social Security Administering Agency (BPJS) Employment, in 2020 there were more than 100,000 work accidents reported in Indonesia, with a death toll reaching 1,500 cases (BPJS Employment, 2.
Work accidents not only impact the health and safety of workers but also affect the productivity and reputation of the company.
Therefore, efforts to achieve Zero Accident conditions must be a top priority.
One method that has been proven effective in increasing knowledge and awareness of work safety is through safety briefings.
Safety briefings are short training sessions that provide important information about safety procedures, potential risks.

Research by HSE (Health and Safety Executive, 2.
shows that companies that routinely conduct safety briefings have lower work accident rates compared to companies that do not.
In this context, this study aims to analyze the effect of safety briefings on knowledge and awareness of work safety in the work environment.
By using quantitative research methods, it is hoped that valid and reliable data can be obtained regarding the effectiveness of safety briefings in realizing Zero Accidents.
This study will also discuss other factors that can affect the results, such as workplace safety culture and employee participation in safety programs.
In previous research by Aksorn and Hadikusumo .
in a journal study entitled "Measuring the effectiveness of safety programs in the Thai construction industry", it was shown that routine implementation of safety briefings can increase occupational safety knowledge by up to 40%.
In addition, research by Hallowell and Gambatese .
, in the study "Safety Risk Management in Construction" found that companies that implemented effective safety briefing programs experienced a decrease in work accidents by up to 25%.
These results indicate that safety briefings have a significant positive impact on occupational safety during the construction process.
Meanwhile, the research conducted this time will discuss more about the relationship between safety briefings and occupational safety knowledge and awareness to realize zero accidents in the work environment, but in the scope of buildings that are already operational, especially in shopping centers.
Shopping centers that have now changed function, are not only a place for people to shop, but have now also become a gathering place for various groups, both for socializing, traveling, or as a business center and meeting between With these developments, shopping centers will become one of the centers of significant economic and business turnover.
So it is necessary to be one of the management's concerns to increase awareness of occupational safety.
Through this research, it is expected to provide recommendations for companies, especially in shopping centers in Indonesia, to improve their occupational safety programs.
increasing knowledge and awareness of occupational safety, it is hoped that the number of work accidents can be reduced so that the goal of Zero accidents is This is in line with the vision of the Indonesian government to create a safe and healthy work environment for all workers.
The literature review in this study will discuss several basic concepts related to occupational safety, safety briefings, and Zero Accidents.
First, occupational safety is defined as an effort to protect workers from risks that can result in accidents or occupational diseases.
According to ISO 45001:2018, the occupational safety and health management system aims to improve occupational safety performance through effective risk management (ISO, 2.
Second, safety briefings are an integral part of the occupational safety management system.
Routine safety briefings can increase workers' awareness and knowledge of the risks in the workplace.
Research by Geller .
shows that workers involved in safety briefings have a better understanding of safety procedures and are more likely to comply with established rules.
Third, the concept of Zero Accidents refers to the goal of eliminating all workplace accidents.
This concept is not just a target but also reflects the organization's commitment to worker safety.
According to research by Roughton and Mercurio .
, to achieve Zero Accidents, there needs to be a change in the safety Volume 6.

php/journal/index culture in the workplace, where each individual feels responsible for the safety of themselves and their coworkers.
In this context, this study will examine how safety briefings can contribute to increasing knowledge and awareness of occupational safety.
In addition, this study will also consider other factors that may affect the effectiveness of safety briefings, such as frequency of implementation, delivery methods, and employee involvement.
In this study, it is important to consider other factors that may affect the results of the study.
For example, workplace safety culture can play an important role in determining how effective safety briefings are.
Research by Zohar .
shows that companies with a strong safety culture tend to have lower rates of workplace Therefore, further analysis is needed on the relationship between safety culture and the effectiveness of safety briefings.
In addition, active employee participation in safety briefings can also affect the Employees who feel involved and contribute to safety discussions tend to have better knowledge and awareness.
Research by Mearns and Flin .
shows that employee involvement in safety programs can increase the effectiveness of safety METHOD The methodology of this study uses a quantitative approach with a survey research design.
The population in this study were employees of the Engineering department at a shopping center who interact directly with the safety briefing program routinely, with a population of 32 people.
The research sample will be taken randomly from employees who attended the safety briefing in a certain period using saturated sampling, due to the small population.
Data will be collected through a questionnaire designed to measure knowledge and awareness of work safety before and after attending the safety briefing.
The questionnaire will consist of several parts, including:
Regarding the implementation of safety briefing, .
Knowledge of work safety, and .
Awareness of the importance of work safety.
Knowledge will be measured with questions related to safety procedures and risks in the workplace.
Awareness will be measured through questions regarding respondents' attitudes and behaviors toward work safety.

Discussion The findings of this study reveal several key insights regarding the factors influencing the realization of zero accidents in the work environment.
First, the implementation of safety briefings does not have a significant positive effect on achieving zero accidents.
However.
K3 knowledge demonstrates a positive influence on realizing a zero-accident workplace, indicating that understanding safety protocols plays a crucial role in preventing incidents.
Similarly.
K3 awareness also positively impacts the achievement of zero accidents, highlighting the importance of employeesAo attentiveness and commitment to safety practices.
Furthermore, there is a simultaneous and joint positive effect of safety briefing implementation.
K3 knowledge, and K3 awareness on realizing zero accidents.
These results align with the theories proposed by Aksorn and Hadikusumo .
and the findings of Hallowell and Gambatese .
, which emphasize the strong relationship between safety practices and accident prevention.
The research hypothesis is thus supported by empirical evidence, affirming the critical role of knowledge and awareness in workplace safety.
CONCLUSION
Based on the discussion above, it can be concluded that there is a simultaneous and joint relationship between the implementation of safety briefing, knowledge of K3, and awareness of K3 which has a positive effect on realizing zero accidents in the work environment.
Through the implementation of routine and effective safety briefings, companies can improve employee understanding of existing safety Volume 6.
