Family plays an important role in reducing the rate of workplace accidents. In line with this fact, PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk or Harita Nickel, invites employees' families to be actively involved in managing the risk of fatigue for their family member who works in the company.
Recently, the Occupational Health, Safety, and Training (OHST) Department, in collaboration with the External Relations Department, provided education and counseling to the wives and families of local employees about the risks of fatigue that can lead to work accidents.
Risda Putri Ayudya, Management System Engineer at the OHST Department, said the event involving employees' families is part of the Off The Job Safety program. She continued that this activity is also part of the company's commitment to implementing occupational health and safety (OHS) policies in its operational areas.
“The role of the family is very important in controlling occupational accidents. In this event, we invite local employees' family who live around the company to participate in fatigue management. This is primarily related to the need for workers to rest at home both physically and mentally,” Risda explained.
The 32 attendees were enthusiastic throughout the event. They learned about fatigue management, including what causes fatigue, its effects on physical and mental health, and how families can help manage it. They also received basic life support training for handling emergencies.
Interestingly, before the workshop, participants were given a guided tour by the company’s safety team to see where their family works.
"This session made me realize how risky my husband's job is, and it almost brought me to tears. Now, we as wives can be more attentive to their rest needs at home," said Jean Gaot, one of the participants.
Jean, whose husband works in the smelter area of PT Halmahera Persada Lygend, shared her happiness in gaining basic knowledge about handling emergencies like fires, floods, and other unexpected disasters.
