Abstract

The primary objective of this research is to assess how OHS knowledge and the attitudes of students influence their awareness of OHS-related behaviours. The investigation was conducted as a case study vocational school in East Java. The study involved a total of 42 students from the 12th grade, selected through a purposive sampling method. The findings from this research revealed that the knowledge students possess regarding OHS accounts for 25.7% of their overall awareness of OHS behaviours. In contrast, the attitudes held by these students contribute even more significantly, at 37.8%, to their awareness of OHS behaviours. Furthermore, the analysis demonstrated a positive correlation between the knowledge of OHS and the attitudes of students towards OHS behavioural awareness within the context of the Creative Products and Entrepreneurship Subject. In summary, the combined influence of OHS knowledge and student attitudes towards OHS behavioural awareness accounts for a substantial 59.23% of the variance observed in this awareness. The remaining percentage is attributable to other variables that were not explored within the scope of this study. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2025.
