K-On Application Concept Design (K3 Oriented and Implementation using Participatory Design and Usability Testing Methods

Abstract

Indonesia as a developing country has become a country with a systematic infrastructure
focus, with constant infrastructure growth making Indonesia a development country.
Infrastructure, especially in the context of building or construction, has a linear
relationship with the condition of construction workers, where construction workers are
one of the main driving forces in the sustainability of development in Indonesia. However,
the central role of this worker is not always followed by the worker's obedience to the
applicable regulations in this case K3 construction. Work accidents in the construction
sector increase every year, recorded as many as 114,148 throughout 2018 although it
decreased to 77,295 cases in 2019, not diminishing the indication that construction
workers should receive special treatment to reduce the number of work accidents. The
development of technology is the basis for thinking for innovation in making platforms
to cover almost every aspect of life, so the implementation of technology in an effort to
provide special education to construction workers is expected to be optimal. The design
of this concept uses participatory design and usability testing, to involve workers and
stakeholders directly in the design process. The output of this research is an application
concept design along with the percentage of effectiveness and efficiency that has gone
through a pilot test process to end users, in this case construction workers and other
stakeholders.
