Abstract

Marine transportation is essential for global and national trade, although it poses significant risks of occupational accidents due to the rigorous and intricate nature of marine labor. Mental weariness is acknowledged as a significant role in these accidents, as it diminishes concentration, impairs reaction times, and heightens the probability of human error. Notwithstanding its importance, research investigating the correlation between mental exhaustion and occupational accidents in Indonesia's marine sector is scarce. This study sought to assess the impact of mental exhaustion on the incidence of occupational accidents among maritime transportation personnel. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, collecting 136 ship crew members by non-probability incidental sampling. Mental exhaustion was assessed using the validated Cumulative exhaustion Symptoms Index (CFSI) questionnaire, while data on workplace accidents were obtained by self-reported questionnaires. The Chi- Square test was employed for statistical analysis. The findings indicated that 66.9%of individuals exhibited elevated mental weariness, and a significant number of occupational accidents were documented. The Chi-Square analysis (p < 0.05) revealed a statistically significant correlation between mental exhaustion and occupational accidents. The findings demonstrate that mental fatigue is a pivotal factor influencing workplace safety in the maritime sector, underscoring the necessity for robust fatigue management strategies to mitigate occupational accidents and improve safety performance, while also deepening the comprehension of occupational health and safety in maritime transportation.
