Abstract: The construction industry is characterized by a high risk of accidents due to multiple hazards, dynamic work environments, weather, tight schedules, and a large workforce, all of which challenge the consistent enforcement of safety measures. Despite the issuance of Ministerial Regulation No. 10/2021 concerning the Construction Safety Management System (CSMS), its implementation in Indonesia remains suboptimal, as evidenced by the high frequency of workplace accidents recorded between 2018 and 2020. This study aims to identify the key factors supporting and hindering the successful implementation of CSMS in construction projects. A descriptive quantitative approach was used, involving a two-stage survey: a preliminary questionnaire for expert validation and a main questionnaire distributed to 147 respondents working on road and bridge projects managed by state-owned enterprises. Factor analysis was applied to simplify complex variable relationships and identify latent constructs. The results revealed five supporting factors: (1) strong management commitment to safety. (2) The availability of safety procedures, policies, and resources. (3) Organizational competence and effective managerial implementation. (4) A strong safety culture, and (5) comprehensive safety training for supervisors and workers. Conversely, three primary hindering factors were identified: (1) weak safety culture, (2) management shows deficiency in commitment and capability, and (3) low worker competence. These findings offer practical insights to help Indonesian construction companies to strengthen their safety culture and managerial commitment. They also provide government policy aimed at improving the monitoring and enforcing CSMS implementation.
