CSCP: Harita's Way for Safety in High-Risk Work Areas

Every task and every decision at work shares the same purpose: ensuring every Harita employee returns home safely at the end of the day. Across Harita Nickel's operations—where heavy equipment, high-voltage electrical installations, and hazardous chemicals are part of daily activities—safety cannot rely on caution alone. It requires a consistent set of standards that everyone understands and applies.

To achieve this, Harita Nickel continues to strengthen its safety culture by implementing systems that help control risks associated with high-risk work. One of these is the Critical Safety Compliance Protocol (CSCP) or Cara Selamat Capai Produksi (How to Achieve Production Safely), a safety framework developed by the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) team to establish a consistent approach to critical risk management across all business units.

According to Harita Nickel Vice President of OHS & Management System, Supriyanto Suwarno, CSCP was developed to help prevent fatal incidents through a standardized and systematic approach.

"CSCP was developed to help prevent fatal incidents across all work activities. Through this framework, the principal hazards across our operations—from mining to processing—are mapped into a single, standardised safety framework," he said.

At its core, CSCP is built around six key elements that serve as the fundamental requirements before, during, and after high-risk work is carried out.

• Competency: Ensuring every worker has the required competence, training, and certification for the task being performed.

• Documentation: Verifying that work procedures, permits, and supporting documentation are complete and approved before work begins.

• Risk Control: Ensuring critical risk controls are effectively implemented, including Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) procedures and safety reviews.

• Equipment: Confirming that all equipment is fit for purpose, safe to operate, and routinely inspected and maintained.

• Critical Aspects: Ensuring all critical factors that could affect people, the environment, or surrounding communities have been identified and appropriately controlled.

• Management Review: Evaluating the effectiveness of safety controls through regular management review and continuous improvement.

These six elements are applied across 13 Fatality Intervention Elements, which represent the highest-risk work activities within Harita Nickel's operations. They cover a broad range of critical tasks, including heavy equipment operation, electrical work, chemical handling, and work involving hazardous gases and molten metal.

Through CSCP, Harita Nickel aims to ensure that safety is more than a corporate commitment—it becomes a consistent operational standard applied across every work area. The framework also positions every Harita employee as an active participant in the company's safety management system, empowering them not only to comply with procedures but also to identify hazards, control risks, and help protect themselves and those around them.

"Since 2025, we have been rolling out CSCP across all business units. Through this framework, we encourage every Harita employee to understand the risks in their work area, comply with established safety procedures, and have the confidence to stop work whenever conditions are considered unsafe," Supriyanto concluded.

Know the risks. Control the hazards. Stop the job if it isn't safe.

Starting from August 2026, the Bentala Halmahera newsletter will feature a dedicated series exploring each of the 13 Fatality Intervention Elements within the CSCP framework. Stay tuned to every edition to learn how every Harita employee plays an essential role in protecting themselves, their colleagues, and the wider operational environment.
