Abstract

In the context of increasing global uncertainty and the growing demand for sustainability towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030, organizations operating in high-risk industries are required to strengthen their strategic resilience and undertake adaptive organizational transformation. Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) performance plays a crucial role not only in maintaining operational sustainability but also in enhancing organizational capacity to manage risks and respond to dynamic business environments. This phenomenon is reflected in empirical data on workplace accidents in Riau Province. Based on data from BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, from January to June 2025, there were 9,416 workplace accident cases, including 32 fatal cases. By August 2025, the number of fatalities increased to 33 cases, indicating that the level of occupational risk remains high and significant. This study aims to examine the role of OSH performance in enhancing strategic resilience and promoting organizational transformation in high-risk industries. The study adopts a conceptual approach through literature review and analysis of empirical phenomena related to workplace safety.

The findings indicate that OSH performance contributes to strengthening strategic resilience and driving adaptive and sustainable organizational transformation. The integration of safety aspects into organizational strategy is essential in addressing uncertainty and achieving long-term sustainability.
