Maritime training environments present substantial occupational hazards including chemical exposures in engine workshops, confined space risks aboard training vessels, heat stress in machinery spaces, and physical injuries from heavy equipment operations, yet most institutions rely on periodic manual safety inspections and reactive incident responses rather than continuous hazard monitoring and proactive risk mitigation. This research presents the design and validation of Internet of Things occupational health and safety systems integrating wearable sensors, environmental monitors, location tracking, and emergency alert mechanisms protecting students and instructors during practical training activities at Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Pelayaran Jakarta. Employing design science research methodology with qualitative stakeholder evaluation, the study engaged safety officers (n=8), training instructors (n=12), and students (n=15) through structured interviews examining hazard detection accuracy, emergency response improvements, and privacy considerations. The IoT platform deployed 423 sensors across workshops, vessels, and training facilities including personal gas detectors, biometric monitors tracking physiological stress, proximity sensors preventing equipment hazards, and automated emergency response coordination systems. Thematic analysis revealed strong support for proactive safety monitoring, identifying critical themes of hazard prevention, incident response acceleration, and regulatory compliance enhancement. Pilot implementation across 18-month period demonstrated 67% reduction in recordable safety incidents, 73% faster emergency medical response, and 89% improvement in regulatory inspection compliance, contributing validated IoT architectures and empirical evidence supporting intelligent occupational health and safety management in maritime vocational training contexts addressing student welfare protection and institutional liability reduction imperatives.
