description Fishing is among hazardous occupations, especially in coastal areas where environmental conditions and occupational risks are heightened. This study aims to address the critical research problem of understanding the factors that influence safety behavior among fishermen in Semarang City, with a specific focus on education level, knowledge, perception, and occupational health and safety training. A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted with a sample of 116 fishermen, selected through accidental sampling. The study examined several variables, including knowledge, perception, and safety behavior. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using chi-square tests to assess the associations between these variables. The results show no significant relationship between education level and safety behavior (p = 0.317), but a significant relationship was found between knowledge and safety behavior (p = 0.003), perception and safety behavior (p = 0.000), and safety training and safety behavior (p = 0.000). These findings suggest that safety knowledge, perceptions, and training play a critical role in shaping safe practices among fishermen. The study underscores the importance of enhancing educational efforts and promoting positive safety perceptions to improve safety behavior in this high-risk occupation.
