Harita Nickel Concludes 2025 National OHS Month, Reinforces Ongoing Safety Commitment

In commemoration of the 2025 National Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Month, Harita Nickel conducted a community service initiative in Soligi Village, one of the surrounding villages of the company’s operations on Obi Island, South Halmahera, North Maluku.&nbsp; This initiative underscores the company’s commitment to fostering a strong safety culture and enhancing the overall health and well-being of the local community.
Haryadi Ilyas, Chairman of the 2025 National OHS Month Committee Harita Nickel and Lygend Resources emphasized that this year’s OHS Month activities extend beyond the company’s internal operations to actively engage with the surrounding community.
“Last year, a similar initiative was conducted in Kawasi Village. This year, we are reaching out to Soligi Village to further promote awareness of the critical role that health and safety play in everyday life,” he stated.

<img alt="01022025 hl pengabdian masyarakat dalam rangka bk3n di soligi 456 11zon" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/01022025_HL_Pengabdian Masyarakat Dalam Rangka BK3N di Soligi_456_11zon.jpg"> 
As part of this program, Harita Nickel facilitated free health screenings for the community, with a particular focus on elderly residents. The screenings covered blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol checks, along with medical consultations aimed at early detection and prevention of potential health conditions.

Rizky Albizar, Harita Nickel’s Site Doctor, stated that the health screenings revealed a high prevalence of degenerative diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. “Many residents have yet to properly manage their blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Therefore, in addition to the screenings, we also provided education on the importance of a healthy diet and adequate rest as preventive measures,” he explained.

He further emphasized that education serves as a fundamental step in raising community awareness about health. “We must start with the basics&mdash;health promotion and disease prevention. Looking ahead, we hope to establish platforms or resources that enable the community to exchange insights on common health concerns in their environment,” he added.

Synergy between Harita Nickel and Soligi Residents: Realization of Health and Safety Commitment in National K3 Month 2025

PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk or Harita Nickel has officially inaugurated the revitalized Loji Central Nursery, reaffirming its commitment to environmental sustainability. This nursery facility plays a crucial role in supporting post-mining land reclamation by providing high-quality plant seedlings.
The inauguration ceremony, held on January 30, 2025, was attended by Harita Nickel’s Director of Operations, Younsel Evand Roos, Director of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE), Tonny Gultom, as well as senior management representatives from various business units within the company.

The revitalization of Loji Central Nursery is a strategic initiative aimed at addressing the increasing demand for revegetation seedlings while enhancing operational efficiency through a more modern and integrated facility. Spanning 2.8 hectares, the nursery has significantly expanded its production capacity to 400,000 seedlings, a substantial increase from its previous capacity of 160,000 seedlings on 1.8 hectares.

<figure><img alt="09012025 tbp loji central nursery 2 11zon" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/news_assets/09012025_TBP_Loji Central Nursery_2_11zon.jpg"> </figure>
“As mining operations continue to develop on Obi Island, we remain steadfast in our commitment to prioritizing environmental conservation. The establishment of this enhanced nursery facility, equipped with comprehensive and advanced infrastructure, is a tangible demonstration of our dedication to sustainable practices,” stated Younsel Evand Roos.

He further explained that Harita Nickel has operated a nursery since 2009. However, with the expansion of mining activities and an increase in reclamation targets, from an initial 6 hectares to 60 hectares per year, the need for a modern facility became imperative.

The nursery will supply a variety of seedlings tailored to revegetation needs, including species such as Casuarina (Cemara Laut), Senna siamea (Johar), Albizia (Sengon), Anthocephalus macrophyllus (Jabon Merah), Pometia pinnata (Matoa), Canarium (Kenari), Jackfruit (Nangka), Rambutan, Cashew (Jambu Mete), and Calophyllum (Bintangur).

Tonny Gultom, Director of HSE at Harita Nickel, added that the diverse plant selection at Loji Central Nursery is not only designed to fulfill regulatory requirements but also serves broader ecological benefits.

“By incorporating a wider variety of plant species, particularly fruit-bearing trees, we aim to attract frugivorous wildlife and enhance the ecological balance of the reclaimed ecosystem," he stated. This diversity aligns with regulatory guidelines, which permit up to 10% of revegetation plantings to consist of fruit-bearing species.

<figure><img alt="Whatsapp image 2025 02 09 at 15.36.18" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/WhatsApp Image 2025-02-09 at 15.36.18.jpeg"> </figure>
This biodiversity initiative is further strengthened by a structured seedling cultivation process to ensure high-quality seedlings for reclamation efforts. Tonny emphasized that each seedling undergoes rigorous selection and care at Loji Central Nursery before being planted in reclamation areas.

Harita Nickel continues to reinforce its commitment to sustainable mining practices through the inauguration of Loji Central Nursery. This modern facility not only supports revegetation and post-mining land rehabilitation programs but also empowers local communities by involving them in the supply of native seedlings, fertilizers, and land maintenance labor in accordance with established standards.

“The company actively engages local communities in the supply of native seedlings, aligning with regulatory requirements that mandate at least 40% of plants used in reclamation efforts be sourced from local species,” Tonny added.

As part of its commitment to environmentally sustainable innovation, the development of this nursery utilized 24,000 paving blocks, 146,000 concrete bricks, and 441 m³ of nickel slag-based concrete. This approach supports the company’s efforts to mitigate the environmental impact of its ferronickel processing operations.

The revitalization of this nursery facility also ensures compliance with regulatory requirements, including Presidential Regulation No. 77 of 2024 on accelerating nursery development in mining areas and Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Decree No. 1827 K/30/MEM/2018 on good mining practices.

Through this initiative, Harita Nickel reaffirms its role as a responsible nickel mining and processing company, committed to ecosystem sustainability and the well-being of local communities.

Harita Nickel Revitalizes Nursery to Enhance Planting Capacity and Sustainability

Occupational Health and Safety (K3) is not just the responsibility of management or the Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Team at Harita Nickel. It is a shared commitment&mdash;a culture that must involve every individual within the organization. Beyond statistics and regulations, Harita Nickel aims to convey a key message: K3 is our collective responsibility.
A safe and healthy work culture can only be achieved when every employee actively participates in implementing programs, standards, and work guidelines. This message aligns with the theme of Bulan K3 Nasional 2025, which focuses on Strengthening Human Resource Capacity to Support the Implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SMK3) for Increased Productivity.

In 2025, Harita Nickel is adopting a more in-depth and strategic approach to building a K3 culture. The focus goes beyond merely meeting compliance standards; instead, it aims to elevate safety practices beyond compliance and toward greater sustainability. By aligning business processes, enhancing internal literacy on K3, and ensuring field practices adhere to the highest standards, the company seeks to foster active participation from every individual in creating a safer work environment.

One of the key K3 cultural initiatives being introduced is the identification of 13 major hazards, summarized in the Critical Safety Compliance Protocol. This protocol is designed to map out the primary risks present at the Obi Site and ensure that every employee understands effective mitigation strategies.

Additionally, Harita Nickel is developing various new initiatives, including mental health programs and standardized K3 technical designs that are easier for all employees to understand.

To ensure the effective implementation of the K3 culture, Harita Nickel has launched the Safety Accountability Program, which measures employees' active participation in K3 practices. This program establishes specific responsibilities, especially for supervisors and higher-level personnel, such as conducting regular inspections, attending K3 meetings, and reporting potential hazards.
K3 should not be seen merely as a set of rules to follow but as a core value that reflects a shared responsibility for Satu Harita, Saling Menjaga. Proper and effective K3 implementation is not just an end goal&mdash;it is an ongoing journey to cultivate a work culture rooted in awareness, care, and active engagement. Harita Nickel remains committed to aligning this K3 vision, ensuring that every individual plays a crucial role in creating a safe, healthy, and productive workplace.*Written by Supriyanto, OHS & Management System Manager Harita Nickel

Building a Safety Culture: A Collective Responsibility of All Harita Personnel

In the midst of the bustling activities at Harita Nickel’s Obi site, the drive to create a safe work environment remains the top priority. Every step taken by the Harita workforce, from the smelting area to the mining site, reflects a collective effort to ensure health and safety. National Occupational Health and Safety Month (Bulan Kesehatan dan Keselamatan Kerja Nasional or Bulan K3 Nasional) 2025 stands as a pivotal moment to strengthen this commitment, with the theme "Enhancing Human Resource Capacity to Support the Implementation of the K3 Management System (SMK3) to Boost Productivity."
"Without competent human resources, no matter how excellent the system, achieving its goals will be difficult," said Primus Priyanto, Chief of Mine Technical at PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk. He emphasized that the synergy between technology, procedures, and human competence is critical to the success of SMK3. The spirit of Satu Harita, Saling Menjaga lies at the core of Harita Nickel’s approach, where safety is a shared responsibility that involves every employee.

Primus explained that the strategic path to excellence in K3 competence begins with fundamental training, such as First Aid and Job Safety Analysis (JSA). However, he emphasized that understanding alone is not enough&mdash;every work process must be supported by practical implementation. "It’s about building habits that are rooted in safety," he added.

Beyond training, active employee involvement in developing documents and business processes is essential. By directly understanding potential hazards and risk controls, employees become better equipped to handle the challenges of high-risk jobs.

"The mentoring and coaching approach from supervisors provides employees with the opportunity to learn, feel supported, and grow," Primus explained. He also highlighted job rotation as a key strategy to broaden understanding of risk control across various activities.

At the heart of Harita Nickel’s safety initiatives is a culture of mutual care. "Safety is not just an individual task; it is a shared responsibility. By caring for and reminding one another, we create a safer working environment," said Primus optimistically.&nbsp;

For him, this commitment goes beyond accident statistics. It’s about preserving human dignity and life.

He reminded everyone that the momentum of Bulan K3 Nasional 2025 should mark the beginning of a continuous journey. “With a spirit of Continuous Improvement, every small step toward progress can transform the workplace into a safer and more humane space for all,” he concluded.

One Harita: A Unified Commitment to Safety and Well-being

Harita Nickel, through its business units operating on Obi Island, South Halmahera, North Maluku, marked National Occupational Health and Safety (K3) Month 2025 with a strong emphasis on safety culture. Under the theme #SatuHaritaSalingMenjaga, Harita Nickel reaffirmed its shared commitment to a consistent K3 culture across all workplaces.
The commemoration of National Occupational Health and Safety (K3) Month began with a General Safety Talk and an Opening Ceremony attended by all Harita Nickel and Lygend Resources business units on Obi Island. During the ceremony, participants collectively recited a safety pledge emphasizing the principle of Zero Lost Time Injury (Zero LTI), followed by the signing of a joint commitment to workplace safety.

In his address, Primus Priyanto, Chief of Mine Technical (Kepala Teknik Tambang) of PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk, emphasized that OHS is a collective responsibility. He reminded that no one wants to experience a workplace accident, nor do they want their colleagues to be harmed. He encouraged all Harita personnel to foster a culture of mutual care and vigilance in every aspect of their work.

The National K3 Month observance began with a General Safety Talk and an Opening Ceremony attended by all Harita Nickel and Lygend Resources business units on Obi Island. During the ceremony, participants collectively recited a safety pledge, emphasizing the principle of Zero Lost Time Injury (Zero LTI). This was followed by the signing of a joint commitment to uphold safety standards.

“Do not hesitate to remind colleagues if you notice Unsafe Actions (TTA) or Unsafe Conditions (KTA). However, reminders should be communicated respectfully, and those being reminded must recognize their responsibility in maintaining workplace safety,” he stated.

<figcaption>The opening ceremony of National OHS Month at Nirwana Field, PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk.</figcaption>

With the theme “Strengthening Human Resource Capacity to Support the Implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SMK3) for Increased Productivity,” Harita Nickel highlights two key focus areas: Human Resource Capacity and the Mining Safety Management System (SMKP).

Primus highlighted seven key elements that serve as benchmarks for the successful implementation of the Mining Safety Management System (SMKP): Policy, Planning, Personnel and Organization, Implementation, Evaluation and Follow-up, Documentation, and Management Review.

The question is: How can we enhance our individual OHS capacity to contribute effectively to the continuous improvement of SMKP within the company?

He outlined seven key actions to be taken: First, ensure that all employees, from the foreman level and above, have completed OHS training. Second, all employees should be involved in the development of business processes. Third, ensure that every employee consistently understands and follows procedures. Fourth, ensure that employees apply the training materials they have learned. Fifth, supervisors must be willing and capable of mentoring their teams. Sixth, implement internal department rotations. Finally, consistently foster a culture of mutual care and support.

Echoing this perspective, Dian Kristanto, Manager of Technical Support at PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL) and PT Obi Nickel Cobalt (ONC), emphasized that the success of SMK3 implementation requires strong commitment and active participation from all levels of the organization, including every individual employee.

“Without active participation from all elements of the organization, an effective OHS Management System cannot be fully realized. Therefore, we must strengthen our human resource capacity to support better SMK3 implementation in all our operational activities,” he stated.

To make this annual event even more engaging, each business unit will organize a variety of activities leading up to the closing ceremony on February 12. These include sports competitions, K3 campaign video and poster contests, first aid training (P3K), and seminars.

Beyond internal initiatives, Harita Nickel and Lygend Resources partnership units have also extended safety awareness efforts to the local community. This year’s outreach program took place in Soligi Village, engaging students and housewives in discussions on the importance of safety. “We hope this initiative brings a positive impact, particularly in raising community awareness of potential hazards in their surroundings,” said Haryadi Ilyas, Chairman of the Organizing Committee.

Through the #SatuHaritaSalingMenjaga campaign, Harita Nickel invites all employees and community members to prioritize safety in the workplace and daily life. With a spirit of collaboration, we can foster a safer, more productive, and sustainable work culture.

National OHS Month 2025: #SatuHaritaSalingMenjaga Resonates at the Obi Site

Harita Nickel has reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability and social responsibility by implementing best practices throughout its operations on Obi Island. As part of this commitment, the company's Health, Safety & Environment Department partnered with the Disaster Risk Reduction Center of Universitas Indonesia (DRRC UI) to organize the Kawasi Siaga Bencana (Kawasi Disaster Preparedness) program.
The program took place over four days, from December 10–13, 2024, in the newly developed settlement of Kawasi Village. Participants included residents, school students, village officials, and other stakeholders. The event provided training on disaster and earthquake preparedness, including basic firefighting techniques and First Aid (P3K). The program concluded with a tsunami emergency response and evacuation simulation.

Supriyanto Suwarno, Occupational Health and Safety Manager at Harita Nickel, explained that the disaster preparedness training was conducted as a precautionary measure against potential disasters in the company’s operational area. According to a risk assessment conducted by DRRC UI, Kawasi Village is vulnerable to various natural hazards, including earthquakes, strong winds, high waves, floods, and tsunamis.

“This Kawasi Siaga Bencana activity is part of Harita Nickel's commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility. It is an extension of our efforts in Occupational Health, Safety, and Environmental Protection (K3LH), which also prioritize community safety around our operational areas,” Suwarno noted.

The program was warmly welcomed by Kawasi residents. Reinhar Siar, Chairperson of Kawasi Village’s Consultative Body (BPD), expressed gratitude for Harita Nickel’s initiative, stating that it greatly supported government efforts to raise awareness about disaster preparedness and management.

“Residents are very pleased to have this opportunity because it makes us more vigilant about potential disasters and teaches us what to do. This training is not just for natural disasters but also for other emergencies that could occur at any time,” said Siar, thanking Harita Nickel and Universitas Indonesia for organizing the event.

The Kawasi Siaga Bencana program involved Harita Nickel’s Emergency Response Team (ERT), which supported the hands-on training sessions and tsunami evacuation simulation. Additionally, medical teams from both the company and local government, Harita Nickel’s Community Relations team, and personnel from the TNI/Polri (Indonesian Armed Forces and Police) participated in the event.

Devi Partina Wardani, coordinator of DRRC UI, emphasized the importance of involving communities and stakeholders in disaster response efforts to minimize casualties during emergencies. “Through theoretical and practical training, as well as simulations, we aim to provide participants with a clear understanding of the necessary steps to take during disasters,” she explained.

The four-day program demonstrated excellent coordination among the participating parties, according to the DRRC UI team. The participants’ enthusiasm was equally notable, as they actively engaged in every session from start to finish.

“We highly appreciate Harita Nickel’s initiative in organizing this event. Hopefully, it serves as a constant reminder for the community, ensuring they know what to do when disaster strikes,” Wardani concluded.

Harita Nickel Collaborates with DRRC UI to Launch "Kawasi Disaster Preparedness" Program

The limited number of personnel and the large working area require safety teams in all Harita Nickel business units at the Obi site to innovate supervision of Occupational Safety and Health (OHS). One of them is through the use of digital platforms to support OHS reporting and supervision in their respective work environments.
Guguh Prakoso Utomo, Safety System & Compliance Supervisor of PT Dharma Cipta Mulia (DCM), said the idea of utilizing digital means for OHS supervision arose from the limitations of ineffective manual methods. This is because the physical green card system, which has been distributed directly and provided in each department, has not been optimally utilized by employees.
Green card is an observation card used to report unsafe actions or behaviors in the company's operational areas. Through this card, all employees can submit reports of risky behavior they encounter in the field.&nbsp;
“Initially we used small and printed forms. We distributed them directly, there were also boxes in each department, but it was not quite effective. Therefore, since the beginning of 2023 we explored, and implemented the green card online,” explained Guguh, who previously served as Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) Compliance at PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL).
Through green card digitization, employees can now submit their findings online. “First, this report will be received by the safety team as the command center. After being categorized and sorted based on the level of urgency, the report will be forwarded to the relevant department. So with that form, our reports are immediately recorded or well-documented,” he said.&nbsp;
Since the green card digitization was launched, it has been proven that OHS supervision by involving employees is more effective. Even though, the number of employees who fill out the form has not yet reached 10 percent of the total number of employees.&nbsp;<img alt="Whatsapp image 2024 03 01 at 16.50.26" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/news_assets/WhatsApp Image 2024-03-01 at 16.50.26.jpeg"> 
Therefore, to further optimize employee involvement, the OHS supervision digitalization program is now connected to a company policy called the Safety Accountability Program (SAP). This applies to all employees of all levels.
“Employees who submit the highest number of reports will be rewarded. We will also give it to departments. Who best handles reporting, we will reward with a gold flag. Conversely, those who get the most reports, but are not followed up, will be rewarded with a black flag,” he explained.
The implementation of green cards at HPL since mid-2023 has helped raise employee awareness on the importance of participatory OHS monitoring. Yanwar Wiratmoko, OHS Staff at HPL, said that with awareness, employees will be encouraged to make reports whenever they find dangerous actions or conditions in their work environment.&nbsp;
”When we find a case where someone is working without proper safety attributes, they will usually make a report through the online green card form that is accessible through a smartphone,“ he explained.
The innovation of OHS supervision through green card digitization that has been implemented at PT HPL, as well as by other business units under different program names, is an important step that the company has made to encourage active participation of employees in maintaining their work environment.&nbsp;
Another benefit is that the information collected can be quickly and efficiently analyzed to identify trends and patterns of unsafe behavior. With this information, companies can take more effective preventive measures. In addition, digital documentation makes it easier to track and evaluate corrective actions made as a response in the field.
In addition, the safety teams at HPL and DCM have also been using an android-based application for OHS reporting. With this application, the findings report can be presented in a complete and integrated format. Starting from the location point, photo and video documentation, to its handling status. To get more comprehensive services and features, the safety team has coordinated with the IT team to develop the software exclusively.

Integrated OHS Supervision Through Digital Platform 

Nestled on Obi Island, PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF), a business unit of Harita Nickel, is taking a bold step into the future of industrial safety with its new initiative. This isn’t just about profit margins or efficiency metrics. It’s about something deeper&mdash;a commitment to keeping its workers safe, its environment sustainable, and its operations accident-free.
On September 16, a group of employees proudly wore their new badges, marked with the title “HSE SMART Leader.” These are no ordinary badges. They symbolize a movement within HJF&mdash;a significant initiative within HJF focused on achieving zero workplace accidents. The declaration came with a formal ceremony, but the true challenge lies ahead: turning commitment into everyday practice.

“We're not just talking about policies or procedures here,” said Agung Aribowo, the Technical Support Deputy Department Head at HJF, standing before the gathering of freshly minted leaders. “SMART Leader means Safety is My Attention and Responsibility to Target Zero Accidents. These leaders are not just experts in their technical fields; they are also trained to anticipate and address potential hazards before they become problems,” he added.

It’s an ambitious goal linked to a larger company initiative called the HEBAT program (HJF’s Excellent Behavior for Achieving Target). This program aims to create a culture of safety at all levels and transform leaders into safety advocates&mdash;mentors who will promote awareness and vigilance among employees.

In the world of mineral processing industry, safety training is nothing new. Yet the approach at HJF feels different. There is a strong sense of urgency in the mission, especially as the world becomes more focused on sustainability. For HJF, safety and sustainability are two sides of the same coin.

This isn’t just theory. The HEBAT program is built on seven key pillars, including Life Saving Assessment (LISA) and Management Walkthrough, which ensure ongoing improvement in safety practices. This effort is supported by HJF's recent ISO 45001:2018 certification, a global standard for Occupational Health and Safety, earned in July. HJF had also previously received recognition from the Ministry of Manpower of Indonesia for its safety management system. While these certifications are an achievement, they are reviewed annually to keep safety standards growing alongside the company.

The initiative has earned praise from both Harita Nickel and its partner, Lygend Resources. Rico Windy Albert, the Head of Technical Support for the Harita Nickel and Lygend Resources joint venture, knows the stakes well. As HJF transitions into full production mode, the demands for safety only intensify.

“I’m incredibly proud of the HJF team for getting this off the ground,” Rico said, standing before a group of workers in fluorescent safety gear. “But the real test is what happens after the ceremony. Can we maintain this level of focus on safety and the environment as we scale up production? That’s where the challenge lies,” Rico added.

Rico’s words struck a chord, underscoring a critical truth: HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) isn’t just the responsibility of a single department. It’s a collective mission, one that requires buy-in from every level of the organization.

“The SMART Leader badge,” Rico continued, “it’s more than just a symbol. It’s a badge of ownership. You’re not just responsible for yourself&mdash;you’re an example to others.” His message was clear: each leader now bore the responsibility of instilling a culture of safety among their peers.

The room fell silent as his words sunk in, making the badge feel heavier with pride and responsibility.

Zhao Xiao, the Executive Deputy General Manager of HJF, echoed the same feeling. He praised the efforts of the HSE team but reminded everyone that safety isn’t confined to people alone. "Regular inspections are essential. We need to ensure that every tool and machine is in peak condition. Preventing accidents is our shared priority," he stated firmly, emphasizing the seriousness of the task ahead.

HJF demonstrated its commitment to the HEBAT program by launching Safety Leadership Training for 280 employees this past quarter. "We aim to train 325 leaders, from foremen to supervisors, as SMART K3LH Leaders," Rico explained. The goal is clear: reduce workplace accidents and boost team productivity. This initiative reflects HJF’s broader plan for a safer and more efficient workforce.

Rico Windy Albert’s closing remarks seemed to encapsulate the spirit of the endeavor: “We are committed to running operations that aren’t just efficient and productive, but also responsible&mdash;to our employees and the environment.”

As the employees left, badges gleaming on their shoulders, one thing was clear: this wasn’t just a safety program. It was a cultural shift, an attempt to redefine the connection between industry and responsibility in a world that increasingly values both. And perhaps, just perhaps, HJF could lead the way.

Harita Nickel's Bold Push for Zero Accidents with SMART Leader Initiative

Harita Nickel, through its subsidiary PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel, conducted a “Safety Goes to School”&nbsp;program at SMA Tunas Muda in Kawasi Village on Saturday, January 20, 2024. The initiative, held as part of the 2024 National Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Month, aimed to raise awareness about the importance of OHS among students.
More than 60 students from various grade levels participated in two key training sessions: basic fire extinguishing techniques and safe driving practices. For the fire extinguishing session, the company deployed three Emergency Response Team (ERT) personnel and five members of the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Department to demonstrate fire suppression using a wet blanket.
 
“This program is designed to be engaging and educational, equipping students with essential skills in a fun and relatable way. For example, we likened fire suppression techniques to the skills of animated heroes in the Avatar series, empowering students to understand and manage fire effectively by learning about its chemical components,” explained Hendri Saputro, OHS Supervisor at Harita Nickel.

Hendri further explained that this educational program aims to introduce OHS practices that can be applied in daily life, whether at home or school. This aligns with Harita Nickel’s commitment to OHS, which emphasizes maintaining safe operational activities through a culture of safety while also creating a positive social impact in the community.
 
“We believe that the young generation participating in this program will become agents of change who can carry forward the culture of OHS in the future, starting within their immediate environment. Additionally, we distributed 65 reusable water bottles to students and teachers as part of our commitment to reducing single-use plastic waste,” Hendri stated.
 
Representing the principal of SMA Tunas Muda, Marlon Vergi Kurama expressed appreciation for Harita Nickel’s continued dedication to building the capacity of Obi Island’s younger generation. “This program is invaluable in broadening the knowledge of teenage students, who are increasingly relied upon by their families. It equips them with the ability to identify potential risks in their homes and schools and to understand prevention and mitigation measures,” said Marlon.

Marlon hopes that educational programs like this could be conducted on an ongoing basis to broaden students’ understanding of potential risks. “Other risks, such as electrical hazards and earthquakes, could serve as additional engaging topics for student education. We look forward to continued collaboration with Harita Nickel in developing smart and safety-conscious young generations through OHS training,” Marlon added.
 
Ikra Jouronga, the Student Council President of SMA Tunas Muda Kawasi, shared her positive experience, highlighting the practical benefits of the materials provided by the Harita Nickel team. “The training was very useful and easy to understand, making it simple to apply in daily life at home and school,” Ikra said.
 
In addition to the Safety Goes to School program, Harita Nickel’s National OHS Month social initiatives included a Healthy Movement and Coastal Cleanup activity in Kawasi and a Health Education and Free Medical Check-up program.
 
This year, the National OHS Month carries the theme Foster an OHS Culture: Healthy and Safe at Work, Sustaining Business Continuity. “In alignment with this theme, Harita Nickel aims to extend the spirit of OHS culture beyond our operations to the surrounding community. We recognize that companies and communities exist within a shared socio-economic ecosystem, working hand in hand to advance Indonesia’s economy, especially in South Halmahera,” Hendri concluded.
