This study aims to analyze the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) as a strategic approach to enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of warehouse operations at PT. Rain Jaya Bersaudara, a fireworks distribution company based in Medan, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative descriptive case study method, data were collected through direct observation and in-depth interviews with warehouse workers and managers. The findings indicate that poor awareness of personal protective equipment (PPE) usage, the absence of protective doors on freight elevators, and disorganized warehouse layout significantly contribute to operational inefficiencies and increased risk of workplace accidents. This study recommends the development of strict PPE policies, provision of adequate safety facilities, regular OHS training programs, and improved monitoring and warehouse management systems. A structured and comprehensive OHS strategy is shown to create a safer work environment, boost productivity, and minimize operational losses.
