Summary:An increase in work accident rates by 20% at the end of 2017 ironically accompanies the increasing number of awardee OSHMS certification in Indonesia. This paper aimed to analyze the policy of OSHMS award and its implication to the safety culture in Indonesia. This study used a literature review method with several sequential steps. The results indicated that actually, the high rate of workplace accidents was not the only factor of safety culture implementation and even could be a positive indicator of increasing awareness of reporting in OSHMS implementation. Nevertheless, Indonesia still needs to enforce the law, especially for violators of OSHMS regulations. Besides, it is necessary to approach early education to instill safe behavior and pay more investment for prevention costs to build the safety culture as well as developed countries.
