Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of safety culture systems in the cosmetics industry using a structured six-element framework: Input, Processing, Output, Working Environment, Ergonomics, and Safety Experience. A mixed-methods approach was employed to capture both quantitative and qualitative insights, highlighting significant improvements in workplace safety, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance with GMP and ISO 22716 standards. Quantitative findings revealed statistically significant advancements across all six elements, with notable gains in resource allocation and the integration of safety protocols. Qualitative data identified leadership commitment and tailored training programs as critical facilitators of success, whereas technological constraints and cultural resistance were recognized as key implementation challenges.

In response to these barriers, the study emphasizes the importance of scalable and adaptive technological solutions. Specifically, it proposes the future integration of Industry 4.0 technologies—such as IoT-enabled monitoring systems and AI-driven analytics—to enhance hazard prediction, streamline safety management, and support real-time decision-making. These findings provide a forward-looking roadmap for advancing safety culture practices not only in the cosmetics sector but also across similarly structured manufacturing industries.
