Harita Nickel's Community Development team, in collaboration with Harita Saruma, launched the North Maluku Spice Processing Product (Propala) initiative in late November 2024. This collaboration aims to contribute to sustainable development (SDGs) in Obi Island, North Maluku, by empowering local Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
Ifan Farianda, Community Development Manager at Harita Nickel, emphasized the importance of employee involvement in the company’s Community Development and Empowerment Program (PPM). One of the ways is by promoting the products of company-supported MSMEs, particularly among employees and the general public.
 
“Propala is packaged as a unique souvenir from North Maluku, making it an excellent gift for employees returning home for vacation,” Ifan said, showcasing the Propala packaging with the tagline, “Oleh-Oleh Penuh Cinta, dari Obi untuk Indonesia” (Gifts Full of Love, from Obi for Indonesia).
 
The Propala initiative originated from Harita Nickel’s desire to empower housewives in the new Kawasi Village settlement by processing nutmeg-based products. Previously, only nutmeg seeds were utilized, leaving the fruit’s flesh discarded. Now, the fruit flesh is processed into a variety of food and beverages, adding value to this regional commodity.
Harita Saruma is an internal company program designed to help Harita Nickel employees&mdash;especially younger ones&mdash;gain insight into the company’s operations from upstream to downstream, including its contributions to local communities.
“This Propala launch with Harita Saruma embodies one of our core values: Teamwork. Employees collaborate to support the company’s development and empowerment initiatives,” Ifan explained.
 
The event began with a presentation from Harita Nickel’s Community Development team, which outlined the Propala initiative and the broader PPM program. The session was attended by Propala members and 16 Harita Saruma participants from various departments and business units.
 
Following the presentation, participants visited local nutmeg plantations located 15 minutes from the new settlement. Here, they learned about the harvesting process, guided by Propala members.
 
“If the skin starts to split like this, it means it’s ripe,” explained Lenny Jouronga, a Propala member, while showing a ripe nutmeg fruit. “The flesh will also feel softer, not too hard. If it’s still hard, it’s not ready yet,” she added.
 
<img alt="C1 231124 peliputan sarumaxpropala 2024 44 11zon" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/C1_231124_Peliputan_SarumaxPropala_2024__44_11zon.jpg"> 
The Propala women taught participants how to select ripe nutmeg fruit while sharing stories about their harvesting experiences. The Harita Saruma participants enthusiastically joined the harvest, paying close attention to the women’s tips.
 
After harvesting, participants visited the Propala production house, where they were welcomed by an array of neatly packaged nutmeg-based products such as candy, dodol (traditional toffee-like sweets), syrup, and nutmeg juice. The participants eagerly sampled these delicacies.
 
“The nutmeg juice is so refreshing, especially with ice on a hot day,” remarked Muhamad Asep Falahudin from Harita Nickel’s Technical Support department. “The taste is unique&mdash;sweet and tangy with a distinct nutmeg flavor. It’s perfect for quenching thirst in the heat!”
 
Eresia Makanaung, a laboratory staff member from PT Halmahera Persada Lygend, expressed her amazement at the dodol. “I grew up in West Halmahera and often harvested nutmeg at my grandmother’s farm, but we only used the seeds. I never knew the flesh could be turned into dodol,” she said.
 
“The taste is delightful&mdash;not overly sweet, with the signature nutmeg aroma. I’m amazed that something often discarded can become such a valuable product,” Eresia added.
 
The Harita Saruma participants left the event feeling inspired. Through Propala, they witnessed how local potential could be transformed into high-quality products, boosting the local economy and creating broader market opportunities.
 
This initiative underscores Harita Nickel’s commitment to fostering local entrepreneurship and sustainable development in North Maluku.

Harita Nickel and Harita Saruma Launch Propala to Support Local SMEs

Harita Continuous Improvement (HCI) 2024 has reached a very important milestone. After a long journey, which began with the registration of participants and then continued with a series of selections, now comes the announcement of business unit level champions.
The announcement of the 2024 HCI champions at the business unit level was packaged in an event entitled “HCI Awarding Night 2024” which was held in the Activity Center cinema, PT Halmahera Persada Lygend, on Thursday, December 12, 2024. Present at this event, the HCI champion nominees from each business unit. Also attending were invitations from the management along with the jury and facilitators involved in the selection and mentoring process of HCI participants. 
Harita Nickel Operations Director, Younsel Evand Roos, in his speech said that the spirit of continuous improvement is in line with the company's Core Value of Achievement Oriented. He hopes that every Harita employee can see HCI as an opportunity to accelerate achievement, especially in the area of work they do every day.

<figcaption>The first winner of HCI 2024 in the business unit that operates mining, PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk and PT Gane Permai Sentosa, which was presented by the Head of Mining Engineering, Ngaenur Rofiek.</figcaption>

“With this continuous improvement, everyone can have the opportunity to advance. If not this year, may it be in the following years. Improvement does not stop at just one moment, but is continuously carried out in every aspect of work,” he said.
Then came the moment that Harita Insan had been waiting for, both those who were present in person and those who watched virtually via live broadcast. Especially the champion nominees, their curiosity was not answered until the names of the champions were announced.
 
The announcement of the champions began with the earliest operating business unit at the Obi Island site, namely PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk, which also includes PT Gane Permai Sentosa. Followed by the champion for the PT Megah Surya Pertiwi business unit as the earliest operating smelter. Then PT Halmahera Persada Lygend with two other associated business units, namely PT Obi Nickel Cobalt and PT Dharma Cipta Mulia. Closed with the announcement of the champion for PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel with two other associated business units, namely PT Karunia Permai Sentosa and PT Obi Sinar Timur.
 
The prize award for the fifth to runner-up winners of each business unit was represented by the group leader. Respectively, the fifth and fourth place winners received the same prize of Rp 10 million each, the third place winners received Rp 15 million and the second place winners received Rp 25 million. As for the first place winner, all members of the group went up to the podium to receive a prize of Rp 35 million.
 
Catur Prasetyo, the group leader who was crowned the first winner of HCI 2024 for the PT Halmahera Persada Lygend business unit, briefly shared the contents of his proposal entitled “Energizing GAC Waste to Eco-Efficiency Processing”. Its concept is waste to energy, which is how to utilize waste in the form of Granular Activated Carbon in the production area of the nickel sulfate plant as fuel in the Power Plant.
 
<img alt="Hci awarding night msp" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/HCi Awarding Night_MSP.jpg" title="Hci awarding night msp">
<figcaption>The 2024 HCI champions in PT Megah Surya Pertiwi's business unit, from 5th place to 1st place, pose for a group photo after the awarding ceremony.</figcaption>

As an illustration, the collaborative project between the Nickel Sulfate Production Department and the Power Plant has succeeded in reducing the use of coal in the Power Plant by thousands of tons per year and is also able to save billions of rupiah in costs in a year. Waste that has the potential to pollute the environment and even endanger workers if not managed properly, but thanks to the innovations made can actually have a positive impact on the company.
&nbsp;“We are targeting to be in the top three, but we don't expect much to win, because the proposals from other teams are no less interesting. For us, being the first winner is a bonus,” said Chess.
Meanwhile, Asrar Kurniawan, group leader who won first place for the PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk business unit, said that his team gained a lot of positive experiences from their participation in HCI. From this event, he added, he learned how to optimize his work so that it can benefit himself and the company.
 
“We would also like to thank the facilitators who have assisted us from proposal preparation to presentation. In particular to our managers in the Lab and Preparation Department who have provided a lot of support to the team,” he said.
 
Closing the event that night, Harita Nickel's President Director, Roy Arman Arfandy, said that Harita Continous Improvement is not just a competition, but a journey together to bring the company to a better direction. The ultimate goal of HCI is in line with the company's mission, which is to achieve sustainable excellence through improving the quality of human resources and processes. 
“Congratulations to all the winners for their dedication and hard work. We are very proud of these achievements. However, the journey is not over yet. You will represent the business unit to compete in the group level competition, in February 2025,” he concluded.

HCI Awarding Night 2024, Recognizing Innovators at Site Obi

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.

A surprising response was delivered by local journalists in South Halmahera Regency. The media crew who used to produce news, claimed to be amazed after seeing firsthand the Harita Nickel operational area at the Obi site.
Journalists from various media in South Halmahera appreciated Harita Nickel's commitment to sustainable mining practices and integrated nickel processing technology. Not only applying efficient technology, the company also integrates its operations with programs oriented to the welfare of the surrounding community.
 
As stated by Husni Saban, a journalist from Saruma News. According to him, technology adopted by the company along with efforts made to minimize environmental impacts, is a tangible manifestation of the company's commitment that is not only written on paper. 
“Here we can see an extraordinary industry where all operations are integrated from one to another,” he said.
 
Similarly, Wendi Wambes, a journalist from Kalesang, appreciated the company for employing many local workers from North Maluku.&nbsp; 
“With 85 percent of employees coming from Indonesia and among them, 50 percent are local workers from North Maluku, of course it is an extraordinary effort made by the company,” he explained.
 
As reported, journalists from eight local media in South Halmahera Regency visited the Harita Nickel operational area at the Obi site, on Monday, February 26, 2024. Among them include Halmahera Post, Kalesang, Lensa Malut, Rakyatmu, News Gapi, Saruma News, Mimbar Timur, and Indo Timur.
 
From the visit, journalists were able to see firsthand how the company operates from upstream to downstream. Starting from mining, nickel processing plants, efforts to control environmental impacts to the Community Development and Empowerment (PPM) program that engages the surrounding residents of the company's operations.
 
As a result of the visit, the media crew also gained a broader perspective on integrated mining and nickel processing technology. More importantly, they were able to ascertain how the company's commitments work in practice on the ground.

South Halmahera Journalists Appreciate Sustainable Downstream Practices at Harita Nickel

The sustainable integrated nickel mining and processing technology company operating on Obi Island, Harita Nickel, graduated 14 local youths completing the Vocational Education Program for the Enhancement of Youth Skills and Expertise (PELITA).&nbsp;
The program aims to intensively train local youths in South Halmahera (Halsel) to operate heavy wheel loaders. The training covers aspects of safety, health and environment (K3LH); wheel loader instruments and controls; care and maintenance; as well as efficient operating techniques.
The first batch graduation ceremony was held in the company's operational area, on Wednesday (06/03/2024). This confirms the company's commitment to developing the potential of local resources from South Halmahera Regency.&nbsp;
On a separate occasion, Harita Nickel Head of External Relations Latif Supriadi, said the PELITA vocational education program has been running since June 2023. All participants who attended this program had previously worked at the company as casual daily workers (THL) without being equipped with specific skills (nonskills). After completing this program, he added, the nonskilled workers can be appointed as heavy equipment operators at the company.<img alt="Wisuda pelita" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/news_assets/Wisuda Pelita.jpg" title="Wisuda pelita"><figcaption>Graduates of Pelita's vocational program pose for a group photo with Harita Nickel management and the Head of South Halmahera Manpower Office (center). </figcaption> 
 “From unskilled labor, to skillful workforce. This is the main goal of PELITA, which is to increase the capacity and competitiveness of the younger generation. PELITA was also founded on the spirit of collaboration between the private sector and the government, which is expected to be one of the keys to educating the younger generation of South Halmahera,” he said.
He added that the graduates have now fully changed their position to become wheel loader operators.
Meanwhile, one of the participants, Ruslan Ibrahim, admitted that he had long dreamed of becoming a heavy equipment operator. However, his goal has not been achieved due to lack of experience.&nbsp;
“Alhamdulillah, thanks to PELITA, I managed to get this vocational education and graduated as a loader operator,” said Ruslan, who previously worked as a casual daily worker at PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF), one of Harita Nickel's subsidiaries.
Harita Nickel's initiative to improve skills of local workers received appreciation from the local government. Head of the Halsel Manpower Office, Soadri Ingratubun, expressed his gratitude and encouraged the vocational program to be continued so that it could provide greater benefits to local workers.
“We represent the Halsel Regency government, to thank the management of Harita Nickel for initiating a vocational program to develop the capacity of local young people in the mining area,” he said when giving a speech at the PELITA graduation.&nbsp;
In addition to the Head of Disnaker, also present at the PELITA program graduation ceremony, the Chairman of the South Halmahera DPRD, Head of Industrial Relations of the South Halmahera Manpower Office, and Harita Nickel management.&nbsp;
For information, PELITA vocational program is a part of the Community Development and Empowerment (PPM) program covering five aspects, i.e. health, education, economy, infrastructure and socio-culture. This vocational program will continue to be developed by Harita Nickel, to the coming batches.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Harita Nickel Improves Local Employee Skills Through Vocational Program

Following the success of its first batch, Harita Nickel has once again launched the vocational program, Peningkatan Keahlian dan Keterampilan Pemuda (PELITA), aimed at enhancing the skills of the local workforce around Obi Island. This second batch provides participants with training in operating heavy equipment, specifically overhead crane trucks.
The second batch of PELITA began on April 18, with 30 participants&mdash;double the number of participants in the first batch.

Ifan Farianda, Community Development Manager at Harita Nickel, stated that the increased number of participants reflects the high interest of local workers in improving their skills.

Like the first batch, participants in this batch are being trained to operate heavy machinery. However, the equipment they are learning to operate is different. While the first batch trained on wheel loaders, this batch is focused on operating overhead crane trucks. The training curriculum includes mental and physical development, discipline-building, classroom theory, and practical fieldwork.
Ifan further explained that all participants in the program were previously employed as non-skilled crew members or daily laborers (THL) at the company.

“All participants who graduate from this program will be directly absorbed by the company. This is similar to what was done with the first batch, where 14 participants who completed the training are now working as wheel loader operators in the Production Department,” he said.

One participant in the second batch, Fahrurozi Ausman, expressed enthusiasm for the training, noting that it would not only enhance his skills but also provide career advancement opportunities.

“This training is very beneficial for us. Initially, we were just regular crew members, but with this training, we hope to be promoted to overhead crane operators,” Fahrurozi said.

Upon completing the training, the company will assist participants in obtaining their Operator’s License (SIO) and other necessary documentation, ensuring that they are legally qualified to operate lifting and transport equipment.

PELITA Batch 2: Harita Nickel Trains Local Workforce to Operate Overhead Crane Trucks

The economic empowerment of local communities has become a key focus for Harita Nickel’s Community Development and Empowerment Program (PPM). The company has implemented a variety of initiatives to improve the livelihoods of those in the surrounding areas of its operational sites. Recently, Harita Nickel launched a program to support local women, named PROSA.
PROSA, which stands for Project Rasa, is a café managed by a group of women supported by Harita Nickel. Officially opened in May 2024, the café is located at PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (PT HJF) and offers a wide range of culinary options, from snacks to full meals.
Latif Supriadi, Head of External Relations at Harita Nickel, emphasized the company’s commitment to providing opportunities for the local community through economic development activities. With over 30,000 employees and workers at the site, Harita Nickel aims to create business opportunities for the local population.

“The economic activities carried out by the groups we support, including those making chips, operating mini-markets, and running cafés, are expected to enhance the welfare of women’s groups in Kawasi,” said Latif.

<figure><img alt="C1 dokumentasi csr peresmian prosa 2024 a73000161 11zon" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/C1_Dokumentasi_CSR_Peresmian_Prosa_2024_A73000161_11zon.jpg" title="C1 dokumentasi csr peresmian prosa 2024 a73000161 11zon"><figcaption>Head of External Relations, Latif Supriadi, expressed his hope that the supported groups will remain united, ensuring the sustainability of this program for the long term.</figcaption></figure>

With this culinary business initiative, Harita Nickel hopes to improve the skills and capacities of local women, thus contributing to family incomes and fostering positive community impact.

Latif also noted that PROSA, operating within the company’s premises, is expected to bring joy to visitors who enjoy the variety of dishes offered.

“It is crucial that these groups maintain strong teamwork in managing their operations, ensuring that the businesses already launched continue to grow and remain sustainable,” he emphasized.

Meanwhile, Suryani Jamardin, Coordinator of Obi Jaya Mandiri, expressed appreciation for the significant support Harita Nickel has provided in developing their businesses. According to Suryani, the company has not only provided business space but also offered training to enhance the group’s capacity and skills.

“Through these opportunities, the women’s groups in Kawasi can become financially empowered and gain valuable knowledge,” said Suryani with enthusiasm.

Prior to the launch of the PROSA Café at PT HJF, Harita Nickel also provided access for its supported women’s groups to open cafés and retail outlets for employees at PT Halmahera Persada Lygend.

The management of cafés and retail kiosks by these remarkable women, empowered by Harita Nickel, has brought numerous benefits. Not only do they gain economically, but they also acquire skills and knowledge that will serve as invaluable assets, supporting the independence of women on Obi Island.

PROSA: Harita Nickel Empowers Local Women Through Culinary Business Development

On Monday morning, June 17, 2024&mdash;the second day of Eid al-Adha 1445 H&mdash;dozens of residents gathered in front of the Al-Jami’ Mosque in Soligi Village, a community located near Harita Nickel's operations on Obi Island. They had come together to witness the special ritual of animal sacrifice carried out through a unique, time-honored tradition.
The two goats selected for the sacrifice were first fed the finest grass and fresh leaves. Once they had eaten their fill, the goats were bathed and sprayed with perfume. Next, they were dressed with clothes on their bodies and turbans on their heads. With these preparations, the goats looked neat and fragrant.

“This special treatment symbolizes the love Prophet Ibrahim had for his son, Prophet Ismail,” said Ishak, the imam leading the ritual, as he explained the meaning behind the tradition.

Next, the two pampered goats were paraded around the mosque three times. The villagers, including children, watched solemnly as they participated in the procession.

<img alt="Khazanah tradisi unik desa soligi sambut iduladha" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/Khazanah-Tradisi-Unik-Desa-Soligi-Sambut-Iduladha.png" title="Khazanah tradisi unik desa soligi sambut iduladha">
<figcaption>Before the sacrifice, the goats were bathed, dressed in white clothes, and then paraded around the mosque.</figcaption>

<figcaption> </figcaption>
After this display of care, the goats were ready for the sacrifice. Ishak led the slaughter with great precision. The animals' eyes were covered with burial cloths, and the slaughterer held his breath throughout the procedure to ensure the ritual was performed respectfully.

Following the sacrifice, the imam and the villagers sat on mats and recited prayers until the goats had fully passed. This sacred moment deeply touched everyone present, as the air was filled with reverence.

“This is how our ancestors carried out the tradition, and we continue to uphold it as long as it remains in accordance with religious norms,” Ishak explained.

Once the ritual was complete, the villagers worked together to process the meat, preparing various dishes to be shared among all.

However, the Eid al-Adha celebrations did not end there. In the evening, the villagers gathered once again for a Ngibi performance in the village square. Representatives from Harita Nickel were also present to enjoy the event.

<img alt="Festival ngibi soligi" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/Festival Ngibi_Soligi_88_11zon.jpg" title="Festival ngibi soligi">
<figcaption>The Ngibi cultural performance was further enriched by a pencak silat competition for students from elementary to high school in Soligi Village.</figcaption>

Ngibi is a traditional art form of the Buton tribe, the majority ethnic group in Soligi. The dance is performed in pairs, accompanied by the sounds of a gong and drum, with no lyrics. Female dancers perform the Cungka Dance, followed by the male dancers performing the Ngibi Dance. A significant aspect of the Ngibi Dance is that male dancers are prohibited from touching the female dancers as a sign of respect.

This year's festivities were further enhanced with a pencak silat competition, involving students from elementary through high school. The village head, Madiasi La Siriali, explained that this inclusion of younger generations helps connect them with the traditions of their ancestors.

“We are grateful to Harita Nickel for supporting us in preserving our traditions and helping to pass them down to the next generation,” Madiasi said, acknowledging the company's involvement.

The evening in Soligi was filled with joy as both the villagers and Harita Nickel representatives shared in the warmth and camaraderie of the celebration. More than just the sacrifice, Eid al-Adha in Soligi represents a time for strengthening the bonds of community and deepening the relationship between residents and the company.

The Unique Tradition of Soligi Residents Honoring Eid al-Adha

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 

The steady growl of heavy machinery filled the air in the nursery area of PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL), a Harita Nickel subsidiary on Obi Island, North Maluku. An excavator moved with measured precision, its bucket lifting earth as employees watched closely. With a single gesture from one of them, the operator cut the engine, and the noise faded, leaving the quiet of the island in its wake.
The man who give the signal is Irwan Tonny, Safety Trainer Supervisor at HPL. That afternoon, Irwan was overseeing the excavator operation training attended by several unskilled employees.
The training is part of the Green Development Program (GDP), an initiative launched by the Human Resources (HR) team at HPL in collaboration with the Safety Trainer team, who serve as both supervisors and on-site trainers. This initiative aims to enhance the skill set of the company’s unskilled workforce.
“This program is more than just technical training that provides basic knowledge to employees,” Irwan stated. “Harita Nickel is committed to ensuring that every participant understands the critical importance of workplace safety and develops a strong sense of discipline and work ethic. Participants will learn not only how to operate machinery and heavy equipment but also how to become responsible operators who prioritize safety,” he further explained.

Since its launch in 2019, GDP has created opportunities for hundreds of previously unskilled workers to grow and contribute within the company. To date, more tham 600 employees have undergone upskilling through the program. Participants are selected by department heads, chosen based on their potential to advance further, provided they have a minimum of one year of service and a clean disciplinary record.
In addition, the GDP extends beyond excavator training, it encompasses a comprehensive range of heavy equipment, including wheel loaders, overhead cranes, dump trucks, crane trucks, forklifts, and other machinery critical to the company’s operations.
Novar Rafdy Zul Ikram, HR Officer at HPL who has been involved in the program’s development, outlined the challenges the company faced prior to this initiative. “Previously, we had to source labor from outside the region, which not only significantly increased operational costs but also presented challenges such as a lack of understanding of the local culture and work environment,” he explained. “By shifting our focus to the development of local resources, we have successfully empowered the community and established a skilled, loyal workforce that is better aligned with the company’s vision.”
Novar further explained that the name Green Development Program was chosen as a symbol of hope and growth. This program is specifically designed to empower employees who previously lacked skills by offering comprehensive training. The goal is to create new opportunities for these individuals, enabling them to become skilled laborers who fulfill the company’s requirements.
<h2>Safety is Priority&nbsp;</h2>
The training within GDP is structured to ensure that participants acquire not only technical skills, such as operating heavy machinery, but also a comprehensive understanding of the importance of adhering to safety standards. The curriculum covers a range of topics, including basic safety, component identification and functionality, engine systems, operational techniques, as well as Daily Inspection and Maintenance (P2H).

“Safety is our top priority,” Irwan empashized. “We want to ensure that everyone can return home safely every day, without injury. That is why we consistently emphasize the importance of safety procedures at every stage of training, from the basics to field operations.”&nbsp;
The outcomes of this program are clearly evident. Several participants, who initially had no technical background, have now become skilled operators and valuable assets to the company. For them, this training is not just about mastering the techniques for operating heavy machinery, but also represents a significant opportunity to achieve a better quality of life.&nbsp;
“Green Development Program is an excellent initiative that provides substantial benefits to us. Beyond enhancing our understanding of how to operate heavy equipment and manage it effectively in the field, this program also offers us the opportunity to further develop our potential,” remarked Aswan Tidore, a graduate of the program who is now serving as a Foreman in the Production Department at HPL.
Furthermore, Aswan highlighted how the program engages a diverse range of employees, from those with basic experience to those entirely new to the field. “Thanks to this program, we have gained increased confidence in our ability to develop and compete within the company,” he remarked.
Additionally, the success of the GDP extends beyond the participating employees; it also delivers significant benefits to the company. This initiative has allowed HPL to reduce operational costs previously allocated for sourcing external labor while simultaneously enhancing employee loyalty. “When employees recognize that the company is genuinely committed to their development, their motivation and engagement with their work inevitably increase,” Novar explained.
Both Irwan and Novar, who consistently demonstrate enthusiasm in implementing this program, aspire for the GDP to continue evolving and serve as a sustainable model for empowerment.
Through the GDP, Harita Nickel has not only successfully created skilled and reliable workers but also demonstrated that the company can make a positive contribution to the community. With a clear vision and consistent dedication, Harita Nickel shows that the success of the company can go hand in hand with community empowerment, creating a brighter future for all parties involved.[]
