OHS and risk management system is obligated to be implemented in hospital. The management is a proactive approach for identifying, assessing, and prioritizing risks in order to minimize or eliminate impacts. This research aims to explore the current situation regarding OHS and the effects of risk management training among nurses regarding their knowledge and attitude toward OHS. This study used the mixed method design which combined qualitative and quantitative research. For qualitative data collection, in-depth interviews was performed. Content analysis method was conducted to analyse the obtained data. Quantitative data was collected using observational sheets and questionnaire. One group pretest and post test design was occupied to examine the effectiveness of training and the resulted data were analyzed by paired t test. 35 nurses were involved in this experimental study. The result of current situation analysis regarding the identification of hazards indicates that nurses generally recognize the potential of biological, physical, chemical, and ergonomics hazards. Risk assessment using the risk grading matrix and root cause analysis resulted that in general, utilizing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and engineering controls are applying for risk control. The paired t test results obtained knowledge (p-value = 0.000) and attitude (p-value = 0.029) and the result signified that risk management training affected on nurses- knowledge and attitude on OHS, prior and after intervention. This research recommends the hospital management to conduct the training in regular basis as an effort to increase nurses- knowledge and attitude towards OHS.
