Harita Nickel has officially received ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certifications through its business unit, PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF). This achievement highlights the company's commitment to implementing best practices in the HARITA Nickel Integrated Management System (IMS), particularly in the Environmental Management System (EMS) and Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS).
This achievement indicates that the Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Integrated Management System (IMS) implemented across all HARITA Nickel business units has met the International Standards ISO14001:2015 and ISO45001:2018. This accomplishment by HJF also completes the four ISO certificates previously held by HARITA Nickel, each for PT Trimegah Bangun Persada (TBP) and PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL) end of last year.
Tonny Gultom, Director of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) at HARITA Nickel, stated that this achievement is concrete evidence of the company's commitment to adopting the best international standards in systematically managing environmental responsibilities and implementing OHSMS in sustainable operational activities.
“HARITA Nickel is always committed to running operations that are not only efficient and productive but also responsible towards the environment and employee safety. This certification is the result of the dedication and hard work of the HARITA personnel who have ensured that all processes, procedures, and implementations of Environmental and OHS management practices meet international standards,” he said.
He added that HARITA Nickel will continue to innovate and improve its management practices to achieve sustainable operational excellence. “We are committed to continuously developing the integration of the environment into business processes with a recycling perspective. Likewise, with the planned, measured, and integrated enhancement of OHS protection effectiveness,” Tonny explained.
The certification process undertaken by HARITA Nickel involved a series of rigorous audits and in-depth evaluations of the management systems implemented. In this process, the company had to demonstrate compliance with the various requirements set by the ISO standards. The company's internal team worked in collaboration with world-class external auditors, SGS Indonesia, to ensure that all operational processes and procedures met or even exceeded the established standards.
Meanwhile, Herman Salam, Deputy Head of Electrical and Instrumental at PT HJF, described the preparations made by the company, “The process of meeting these international standards involved close coordination between the internal team and external auditors, as well as a thorough evaluation of every operational aspect. We have prepared well to face the challenges of implementing and maintaining this comprehensive management system. Moving forward, we are also committed to continuously improving efficiency, safety, and health in the workplace, and innovating in the application of technology and best practices that support the company's sustainable goals.”
ISO 14001:2015 is an international standard focusing on the Environmental Management System (EMS) that helps companies improve their environmental performance through a flexible and phased approach. Meanwhile, ISO 45001:2018 is an international standard for the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) that helps improve employee safety, reduce workplace risks, and create healthier and safer working conditions. Both of these standards will be evaluated annually to ensure the quality of their implementation is maintained and improved each year in line with sustainability principles.
