This study was conducted in a limestone processing site in Gunungkidul Regency, Yogyakarta, with One group pretest-posttest design. The study was initiated by OSH training for social supports done by competent health cadres. There were 8 social supports from fellow workers (peer support) and 29 social supports from family members (family support). These social supports assisted workers for 4 weeks. Data was collected by using three scales i.e. Scale of OSH knowledge (8 items, Coefficient Alpha Cronbach Reliability 0.800), attitude towards OSH scale (10 items, Reliability 0.917) and Practice of OSH Scale (10 items, Reliability 0.804). Data was collected before and after role assistance by social supports. Data analysis was done by the Wilcoxon sign rank test (alpha: 0.05). The results showed that there was an increase in the average knowledge of OSH from 5.83 to 6.93 (p<0.05), attitudes towards OSH from 26.23 to 30.76 (p<0.05), and OSH implementation from 25.00 to 28.83 (p< 0.05). It was proven that the involvement of social supports from peer as well as family could increase knowledge, attitude and OSH practice of limestone processing workers. To increase the accuracy of the study result, it is advisable that the further study use a control group.
