Harita Nickel, through its subsidiary, Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL), has recently implemented a First Aid training program for its employees. This initiative aims to improve the skills and knowledge of employees when dealing with emergency situations.
The first aid training was attended by 15 employees from across departments within Harita Nickel's partnership business units with Lygend Resources. Participants learn various fundamental first aid techniques during the training, including wound care, bleeding control, burn treatment, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
In addition to basic medical skills, participants also gain insight into preventive measures against occupational accidents and occupational diseases. Through emergency response simulation, it is expected that employees can absorb the theory and at the same time apply it in their daily lives.
Junaidi Arief, HRGA Superintendent of PT HPL, said the company is committed to continuously improving safety standards in its work area. According to him, this is a mandate from Law No. 1 of 1970 on Occupational Safety and regulation of the Minister of manpower and Transmigration No. 03/Men /1982 on Occupational Health Services.
“We believe that investing in this training is an important step towards achieving these goals. With the skills acquired through this training, our employees will be better prepared and able to cope with emergency situations quickly and effectively,” he explained.
One of the participants, Ana Hoky, Fleet Management Foreman of PT Dharma Cipta Mulia, admitted that she was very lucky to join the program. In addition to basic medical skills, she also gained insight into preventive measures against work accidents and occupational diseases.
“The training method is not only theoretical but also practical. Through the emergency response simulation, we can easily absorb the material presented and this will be very useful in our daily work,” he said.
In addition to First Aid training, the company also implemented specialized training programs for Belt Conveyor and Boiler operators. This initiative aims to enhance employee competence in the safe operation and maintenance of equipment, while also providing official certification to recognize their skills. This approach supports the company’s commitment to improving safety standards and operational efficiency.
Robertho Ferdinando Ongky, a Junior Expert Labor Inspector from the North Maluku Provincial Manpower and Transmigration Office, who attended the training, expressed his appreciation for the company's commitment to comply with applicable regulations.
“This kind of training must continue, not only on conveyors and boilers but also on other production equipment in the company. This is very important to ensure occupational safety and health throughout the operational environment,” he said.
Through these initiatives, Harita Nickel underscores its commitment to upholding high safety and health standards in compliance with applicable laws. As well as increasing the knowledge and skills of Insan Harita. In this way, the company not only fulfills regulatory obligations but also improves the abilities and overall welfare of employees
