Human Factors on Fire Hazards: A Correlation Study in a Vocational Education Environment

: A fire disaster is one of the disasters that can harm many parties. The danger of fire can result in several threats to safety and property and can often even result in loss of life. There are various things that can start fires, namely human, equipment, and natural factors. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how human variables and fire dangers are related in vocational education environments. Negligence is a fundamental characteristic that cannot be prevented, but this can be minimized by knowing the causes of fires and steps that can be taken to reduce the potential danger of fires caused by human factors. This study includes a cross-sectional study design, a quantitative technique, and a correlational descriptive method. Data was collected by distributing questionnaires, as well as making observations as data to strengthen the results of questionnaire data analysis. The variables used in this research are Fire Fighting Knowledge (X1), Fire Incident Experience (X2), and Fire Fighting Behavior (Y). The study's findings indicate that knowledge and fire prevention behavior are significantly correlated, as are experience and fire prevention behavior, and that knowledge and experience are significantly correlated with fire prevention behavior.


A. Introduction
Fire is a continuous process of chemical reactions with the elements involved.These elements include the presence of fuel or objects that can burn, a fire source that can cause a fire, and the availability of sufficient oxygen for a fire to occur.There are 5 (five) products resulting from combustion, namely combustion gas, flame, heat, smoke, and reduced oxygen levels (Agustiar et al., 2019) .
A fire disaster is one of the disasters that can harm many parties, the danger of fire can result in quite a few threats to safety and property and often can even result in loss of life (Kihila, 2017).Besides that, the occurrence of a fire will directly affect existing activities, such as economic stability, which will ultimately damage and hamper the implementation of development in the country.A number of things, including people, machinery, and natural elements, can start fires (Cahyono et al., 2015).
International Journal of Educational Review Volume 5 (2) 2023, 123-134 E-ISSN 2685-709X, P-ISSN 2685-905X 124 However, handling the dangers of fire still has various obstacles that result in frequent and repeated fatal fire incidents (Rizki et al., 2017).The increase in the number of fire incidents in several areas is caused by several things, namely low public understanding and awareness of the dangers of fire, a lack of public readiness to face and deal with fires, and poor fire protection systems in buildings and structures (Aseeva et al., 2014).
Official data from the United States National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) states that in 2021, there have been around 1,353,500 fire incidents.An estimated 361,000 of these fires occurred in residential buildings, 125,500 occurred in nonresidential buildings, 658,500 occurred outside buildings, and 208,500 occurred in vehicles (Badger, 2022).There was a total of around 3,800 fatalities resulting from fire incidents that year, of which 2,880 deaths occurred in residential buildings, 130 in nonresidential buildings, 110 in fires outside buildings, and 680 in vehicle fires.There were at least 2 (two) of the 14 (fourteen) deadly fire and explosion disasters in 2021 that occurred in non-residential structures, where these incidents resulted in 6 (six) deaths.
Of the several causes of accidents above, human error is among the most common causes.That matter is further reinforced by an article issued by the Regional Disaster Management Agency of Indonesia (BPBD), which states that the main factor in fire incidents is limited information and knowledge about fires (Setyawan & Kartika, 2010).The next factor is human error (non-standard electrical installation, forgetting to turn off the stove when leaving, throwing cigarette butts carelessly, etc.), and the final factor is Deliberation (burning forests to clear land, burning rubbish carelessly, etc.).Therefore, a study of human factors is an approach that must be taken to minimize losses caused by fire incidents (Nuraini, 2020).
According to Gibson et al., (2013), To determine how organizational factors, system design, and human error affect risk, accident investigations are crucial sources of knowledge.The approach to error classification is termed Human Error Identification (HEI).There are three main criteria for evaluating the use of the HEI technique, namely that it can identify errors comprehensively, can be used accurately to identify the potential for human error, and can document the evaluation that has been carried out for long-term purposes (Maulana, 2016).
Previous studies conducted by Syam et al., (2023) concluded that knowledge and action are related to preparedness among workers at Undata Hospital, Central Sulawesi Province.Attitudes and training are separate from the preparedness of workers at Undata Hospital, Central Sulawesi Province.
Human resources are quite an essential part of achieving organizational goals, whether it is a large company or a small company (S.Sari et al., 2020).In achieving organizational goals, one of the critical things for company leaders to do to prevent fires is to have the effect of complying with work regulations and maintaining the behavior of employees so that they are willing to work according to the organization's expectations (Vlachopoulos, 2021).
International Journal of Educational Review Volume 5 (2) 2023, 123-134 E-ISSN 2685-709X, P-ISSN 2685-905X Palembang Aviation Polytechnic is a vocational high school under the Ministry of Transportation (Nugraha et al., 2020).Following its function as a school that implements vocational education, because this education focuses practical knowledge that can be immediately implemented in the workplace, Palembang Aviation Polytechnic produces resources that are ready for the workplace, saving your time while learning specialized knowledge (Amalia, 2021).
Negligence is a fundamental characteristic that cannot be prevented, but this can be minimized by knowing the causes of fires and steps that can be taken to reduce the potential danger of fires caused by human factors (I.Y. Sari et al., 2021).Therefore, the author is interested in identifying human error from fire incidents by raising the research theme "Human Factors on Fire Hazards: A Correlation Study in a Vocational Education Environment."

B. Methods
This study includes a cross-sectional study design, a quantitative technique, and a correlational descriptive method.Data was collected by distributing questionnaires, as well as making observations as data to strengthen the results of questionnaire data analysis (Cahyadi et al., 2021).The author uses cross-sectional research by collecting data simultaneously over a certain period.Approaches that can be used in descriptive analysis include presenting data through tables, graphs, diagrams, calculating mode, median, mean, standard deviation, and percentage calculations, as well as calculating class length formulas to determine criteria intervals (Amalia et al., 2022).
This research observes the independent and dependent variables at the same time.The purpose of this study is to determine how the independent and dependent variables relate to one another.The variables used in this research are Fire Fighting Knowledge (X1), Fire Incident Experience (X2), and Fire Fighting Behavior (Y).The instrument used in the research was a structured questionnaire with a measurement scale of 1 -5 from strongly disagree to agree strongly (Masito et al., 2022).the grab sampling method in this research, where the researcher gave each employee the same rights to have the opportunity to be sampled.

Results
The data obtained in this research will be processed using several criteria before concluding.The first stage is to carry out a validity test.A validity test determines whether or not a questionnaire is valid by demonstrating the degree to which the instrument being used measures the item being measured (S et al., 2020) Seven questions from the experience variable after being processed using IBM SPSS series 26 software have a significant value above 0.05, so it can be concluded that seven questions from the experience variable are valid.
And finally, in the validity test, the results of the validity test of the Behavioral Variable (Y) on seven questions obtained the following results: Seven questions from the fire prevention behavior variable after being processed using IBM SPSS series 26 software have a significant value above 0.05, so it can be concluded that seven questions from the fire prevention behavior variable are valid.
The next stage is carrying out reliability testing.Reliability testing is an instrumental decision or reliability in evaluating what is being evaluated, which means that you will get relatively the same results every time you use an evaluation tool (Liston & Brouwer, 1996) 2) 2023, 123-134 E-ISSN 2685-709X, P-ISSN 2685-905X 129 To describe the data from 27 respondents for the experience variable, the minimum value for the knowledge variable was 1.00, and the maximum value was 4.00.The most considerable mean value is 3.0741, and the smallest is 1.7407.The smallest standard deviation value is 0.59437, and the highest is 1.14105.To describe the data from 27 respondents for the fire management behavior variable, the minimum value for the knowledge variable was 1.00, and the maximum value was 4.00.The most considerable mean value is 1.5185, and the smallest is 1.1111.The smallest standard deviation value is 0.32026, and the highest is 0.75296.The next stage is to carry out the Classical assumption test, which in the Classical assumption tests consists of normality tests, linear tests, and multicollinearity tests.The first step at this stage is to carry out a Normality test.The normality test is carried out to check whether our research data comes from a population with a normal distribution.For the normality test, a significant value of 0.133 was obtained, greater than 0.05, so it can be concluded that the data is standard.The second step is to carry out a Linear Test, where the results are shown in the table below.For the linear test for the relationship between the knowledge variable and the fire management experience variable, a significant value of 0.233 was obtained, greater than 0.05, so it can be concluded that the data has a linear model.For the linear test for the relationship between the experience variable and the fire prevention behavior variable, a significant value of 0.432 was obtained, greater than 0.05, so it can be concluded that the data has a linear model.The next step is the Multicollinearity test.To determine whether there was a correlation between the independent variables in the regression model, the multicollinearity test was run (Sriningsih et al., 2018).A perfect linear relationship between some or all of the variables that describe the regression model is referred to as multicollinearity (Wijaya Putra et al., 2023).The significant value is 0.005 < 0.05, so H0 for the knowledge and experience variables on behavior is rejected, and Ha is accepted.

Discussion
There are three hypothesis tests in this research: the T-test and the F-test.The Ttest is partial, and the F-test is simultaneous.To determine the relationship between the knowledge variable and the fire prevention behavior variable, using the T-test, it obtained a significant value of 0.002, which is smaller than 0.05, so H0 is rejected, so Ha is accepted, so it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between knowledge and fire prevention behavior.To find out the relationship between the experience variable and the fire prevention behavior variable, using the T-test, it obtained a significant value of 0.023, which is smaller than 0.05, so H0 is rejected, so Ha is accepted, so it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between experience and fire prevention behavior.To determine the relationship between the knowledge and experience variables and the fire prevention behavior variable, using the F-test, a significant value of 0.005 is smaller than 0.05, so H0 is rejected, so Ha is accepted, so it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between knowledge and experience and fire prevention behavior.
Previous research is the researcher's effort to look for comparisons and find new inspiration for further research.Apart from that, previous studies help research position the research and show the originality of the research.(Triono R, 2019).Based on the results of research conducted by Nurwulandari (2016) concluded that areas with a fire history could increase the community's ability to mitigate fire disasters.This conclusion is in line with the conclusions produced by this research.One of the things that differentiates it is that the focus in previous research was preventing fire hazards in densely populated settlements, whereas, in this research, the focus is on aspects that affect a person's behavior in dealing with fires, especially in Education areas, in this case, the Palembang Aviation Polytechnic environment.

D. Conclusion
Based on research conducted by the author, it can be concluded that the relationship between knowledge and experience and fire prevention behavior is as follows: the first conclusion is that there is a significant relationship between knowledge and fire prevention behavior.The second is that there is a significant International Journal of Educational Review Volume 5 (2) 2023, 123-134 E-ISSN 2685-709X, P-ISSN 2685-905X relationship between experience and fire prevention behavior.The third is that there is a significant relationship between knowledge and experience and fire prevention behavior.The author provides suggestions, including Providing educational knowledge related to fire management, then providing fire simulations to the community so that people have experience in handling fires, and finally, creating workshops related to behavior that must be known and practiced in dealing with the dangers of fire.
