The National Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Month (Bulan K3 Nasional) is a significant annual event in Indonesia, especially in the mining sector, including at Harita Nickel. This observance goes beyond a formal ceremony, reflecting the company's strong commitment to enhancing awareness and embedding OHS principles into everyday operations.
A key focus for improving OHS standards is the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). In this context, PPE is not merely a regulatory requirement but a critical part of the company’s strategy to ensure the safety and well-being of employees across all job functions.
The importance of PPE lies in its preventive role, designed to reduce the risk of workplace accidents. It provides essential protection against potential hazards, ranging from helmets, gloves, and safety shoes to safety glasses and other specialized gear tailored to specific tasks.
However, proper PPE usage is equally critical. Employee awareness and commitment to wearing PPE correctly are essential for the effective implementation of OHS practices. To support this, the company consistently conducts training and education, particularly for high-risk roles, through workshops and seminars focused on OHS, aimed at strengthening their understanding of workplace safety.
Therefore National OHS Month is an opportunity to reaffirm the company’s commitment to fostering a strong and sustainable safety culture. Through continuous efforts and shared responsibility, Harita Nickel aims to create a safe, healthy, and productive work environment for all employees—because safety is part of our culture.
