One of the factors that can influence the behavior of using PPE is individuals’ perception. Perception can be analyzed using a theory called as the Health Belief Model (HBM). Cues to action according to the safety promotion is one component of HBM, which is an external factor that can influence individual’s perception. Hence, this study aims to analyze the relationship between safety promotion and worker’s perception about the use of PPE.This research is a quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. The samples were chosen based on the slovinformula and obtained a total sample of 87 operating unit workers of various departments at PT. Aneka Gas Industri Region V, East Java. The independent variable in this study is the effectiveness of Safety Promotion. While the dependent variable in this study is the perception of the use of PPE. The data was analyzed using the Chi-Square correlation test.The results show that there is a relationship between the effectiveness of safety promotion and the perception of PPE (p = 0.013). This study concludes that there is a relationship between the effectiveness of safety promotion with the perception of the use of PPE.
