Harita Nickel, through its subsidiary PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel, conducted a “Safety Goes to School”&nbsp;program at SMA Tunas Muda in Kawasi Village on Saturday, January 20, 2024. The initiative, held as part of the 2024 National Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Month, aimed to raise awareness about the importance of OHS among students.
More than 60 students from various grade levels participated in two key training sessions: basic fire extinguishing techniques and safe driving practices. For the fire extinguishing session, the company deployed three Emergency Response Team (ERT) personnel and five members of the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Department to demonstrate fire suppression using a wet blanket.
 
“This program is designed to be engaging and educational, equipping students with essential skills in a fun and relatable way. For example, we likened fire suppression techniques to the skills of animated heroes in the Avatar series, empowering students to understand and manage fire effectively by learning about its chemical components,” explained Hendri Saputro, OHS Supervisor at Harita Nickel.

Hendri further explained that this educational program aims to introduce OHS practices that can be applied in daily life, whether at home or school. This aligns with Harita Nickel’s commitment to OHS, which emphasizes maintaining safe operational activities through a culture of safety while also creating a positive social impact in the community.
 
“We believe that the young generation participating in this program will become agents of change who can carry forward the culture of OHS in the future, starting within their immediate environment. Additionally, we distributed 65 reusable water bottles to students and teachers as part of our commitment to reducing single-use plastic waste,” Hendri stated.
 
Representing the principal of SMA Tunas Muda, Marlon Vergi Kurama expressed appreciation for Harita Nickel’s continued dedication to building the capacity of Obi Island’s younger generation. “This program is invaluable in broadening the knowledge of teenage students, who are increasingly relied upon by their families. It equips them with the ability to identify potential risks in their homes and schools and to understand prevention and mitigation measures,” said Marlon.

Marlon hopes that educational programs like this could be conducted on an ongoing basis to broaden students’ understanding of potential risks. “Other risks, such as electrical hazards and earthquakes, could serve as additional engaging topics for student education. We look forward to continued collaboration with Harita Nickel in developing smart and safety-conscious young generations through OHS training,” Marlon added.
 
Ikra Jouronga, the Student Council President of SMA Tunas Muda Kawasi, shared her positive experience, highlighting the practical benefits of the materials provided by the Harita Nickel team. “The training was very useful and easy to understand, making it simple to apply in daily life at home and school,” Ikra said.
 
In addition to the Safety Goes to School program, Harita Nickel’s National OHS Month social initiatives included a Healthy Movement and Coastal Cleanup activity in Kawasi and a Health Education and Free Medical Check-up program.
 
This year, the National OHS Month carries the theme Foster an OHS Culture: Healthy and Safe at Work, Sustaining Business Continuity. “In alignment with this theme, Harita Nickel aims to extend the spirit of OHS culture beyond our operations to the surrounding community. We recognize that companies and communities exist within a shared socio-economic ecosystem, working hand in hand to advance Indonesia’s economy, especially in South Halmahera,” Hendri concluded.

Safety Goes to School: Harita Nickel Encourages Tunas Muda Highschool Students to Embrace a Safety Culture

Harita Nickel through one of its subsidiaries, PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF), recently held a drill or training to comply with the quality standards of the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP). Drill conducted by the Department of Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) aims to improve the preparedness of the team on duty in the field.
Dressed in gray uniforms complete with masks and vests along with supporting equipment, the team conducted a drill in the employee mes WWTP area. The team simulated the steps that need to be taken when they found the content in the waste exceeded the established quality standards.
 
In this drill, the scenario involved the sampling team discovered the ammonia levels in the wastewater outlet exceeded the quality standards. Following this, swift action was taken to address the situation. The sample was immediately sent to the laboratory for validation. If the results confirmed the breach of the quality standards, the operational team would be notified via internal radio communication for further action.
 
Environment Supervisor HJF Bobby Loys Lengga explained, “Validation was needed to ensure the next actions taken were based on reliable data. Following this, control procedures for handling the situation were directly implemented.”
These procedures included shutting the main valve to prevent further wastewater flow. The HSE team then prepared to use nutribac, a substance designed to accelerate the growth of bacteria or microbes that aid in wastewater treatment, ensuring the WWTP operates efficiently and meets the required water quality standards as per applicable regulations. Additionally, the emergency blower was activated to support the aeration process in the WWTP.
 
“By shutting off the flow and injecting nutribac, we ensure that the treatment process can resume optimally, accelerate the reduction of ammonia levels, and restore the water quality to meet the standard,” said Bobby.
 
Once ammonia levels return to normal and align with the standards, the team will continue to monitor and conduct further sampling, both in the field and at the laboratory, for validation.
Bobby further explained that drill like this are crucial for maintaining the team’s readiness to handle unforeseen situations. “This kind of training is essential to enhance the team’s preparedness. Moreover, we want to ensure that every member knows exactly what actions to take if an emergency situation arises,” he stated.
Through this drill, HJF demonstrates its strong commitment to effective and responsive environmental management. This drill not only serves to prepare tactical personnel for field emergencies but also reinforces the reminder that maintaining environmental quality is an integral part of the company’s operations and responsibilities.

Raising Preparedness, HJF Held Quality Standard Compliance Drill

The lush sengon and sea pine trees provided a refreshing shade for Mokhamad Rifai and Bagas Nicolaus Saputra. In the scorching midday heat, the two were engaged in monitoring activities at the Komodo reclamation area owned by Harita Nickel. This 11.82-hectare area, previously a mining site, has now returned to a vibrant green, inhabited by a variety of wildlife.
Mokhamad Rifai, the Mine Reclamation Superintendent at Harita Nickel, stated that the reclamation activities in the mining area are part of the company's obligations, as outlined in the Mineral and Coal Mining Law (UU Minerba) No. 3 of 2020. These activities are conducted in areas that have been declared mine-out.
He explained that a mining site can be declared mine-out when the extraction process has reached the bedrock layer. This means that the mining material in the ground has been exhausted or has reached its limit.
As of now, Harita Nickel has successfully reclaimed 201 hectares of post-mining land, according to Mokhamad Rifai, the Mine Reclamation Superintendent. This achievement encompasses a strategic collaboration between PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (TBP) and PT Gane Permai Sentosa (GPS).
“Reclamation goes beyond fulfilling corporate obligations; it’s crucial for restoring the ecological integrity and functionality of former mining sites,” Rifai stated, emphasizing the dual responsibility of environmental stewardship and compliance with regulations.
 <img alt="Reklamasi 24 11zon" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/news_assets/Reklamasi_24_11zon.jpg">
To achieve this, Harita Nickel employs a range of plants specified in the Environmental Impact Assessment (Analisis Mengenai Dampak Lingkungan or AMDAL), focusing on species capable of thriving in the harsh conditions typical of post-mining landscapes. Key plants include sea pine, bintangor, gofasa, and other resilient species known as pioneer plants.
 
These plants not only survive but also improve soil fertility. Their roots release substances that attract beneficial bacteria and help prevent soil erosion, greatly enhancing soil structure and nutrient content.
 
In addition to these pioneer species, the reclamation area features several indigenous trees from Obi Island, aimed at restoring the original ecosystem and attracting the island’s endemic wildlife. “We’re focused on bringing this reclaimed area back to its natural state. This year, we’re targeting 30 hectares for reclamation,” said Bagas Nicolaus Saputra, the Reclamation Operation Foreman at Harita Nickel.
 
However, reclaiming land on Obi Island isn’t without its challenges. Unpredictable weather conditions often complicate the planting schedule.
 
“Sometimes it rains too much when the land isn’t ready, and then when it is ready, there’s no rain,” Bagas said, pointing out how these weather changes can impact planting success and plant growth.
 
Rifai and Bagas stressed that a flexible approach is needed to adapt to changing weather patterns. Despite the challenges, Harita Nickel is committed to making its reclamation program successful and promoting sustainable ecosystem restoration.
 
To ensure accountability and effectiveness, Harita Nickel regularly monitors and evaluates its reclamation efforts with help from external experts. This includes measuring plant growth, checking soil quality, and tracking the wildlife in reclaimed and mining areas. The insights gained from this monitoring are used to improve future reclamation and revegetation efforts.

Facing Weather Challenges, Harita Nickel's Reclamation Successfully Reclaims Former Mining Areas

Harita Nickel’s mining and nickel ore processing operations are deeply committed to environmental safety, particularly in ensuring that the water discharged from mining areas poses no threat to the surrounding ecosystems. Given that the company’s operational areas border vital aquatic zones, which are home to diverse marine life and crucial to the livelihoods of local fishermen, this commitment takes on added urgency.
To protect the quality of water leaving the mine, the company has created 52 settling ponds across two mining licenses. Thirty-five of these ponds are managed by PT Trimegah Bangun Persada, and the other seventeen by PT Gane Permai Sentosa. The largest pond, Tuguraci 2, has a capacity of 924,000 cubic meters and covers an area of 43 hectares.
Muhamad Riftadi Hidayat, a Senior Mine Hydrology Engineer at PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk, highlights the importance of settling ponds in capturing sediment from soil, rock, and other materials eroded by mining. If not managed, these particles could pollute the environment. “These ponds are essential for keeping the water clean and safe before it's released back into the waterways,” he says.
The settling ponds are carefully designed to allow water to effectively filter out sediment before it is returned to its natural flow. This process ensures that the discharged water is clear and meets strict government quality standards.
At Harita Nickel, managing the settling ponds involves monitoring water quality parameters like pH and Total Suspended Solids (TSS). Dedicated teams from various business units perform daily checks to ensure they meet strict environmental standards.
<figure><img alt="C1 settling pond bunaken 2 50 11zon" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/C1_Settling Pond Bunaken 2_50_11zon.jpg" title="C1 settling pond bunaken 2 50 11zon"><figcaption>Harita Nickel Employees Conduct Water Monitoring at the Settling Pond Facility</figcaption></figure>

Indra Maizar, Environmental Superintendent at PT Halmahera Persada Lygend, explains the importance of regular maintenance. The company regularly dredges the ponds when sediment builds up to 70 percent of their capacity. “When sediment reaches 80 percent, we use heavy machinery to deepen the pond,” Indra says.
Dredging prevents sediment buildup from reducing capacity and keeps the water clear before it flows into places like the Todoku River. “Pond Tuguraci 2 can handle water flow rates of 10,000 to 50,000 cubic meters per hour, even during heavy rain,” he adds. The pond also has a retention time of 10 to 15 hours, which helps ensure that upstream water is clear before being released.
“These ponds clearly show the company’s commitment to protecting the environment around the mine,” Indra says. “They also reflect one of Harita Nickel’s core values: teamwork. All business units will keep working toward sustainability and environmental conservation in our operational areas.”

Collaborating for a Greener Future: Harita Nickel's Water Management Initiative

Amid the intricate layers of nickel mining on Obi Island, a crucial effort is underway to safeguard every step taken by workers on site. Harita Nickel, through one of its business units, PT Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP), documented essential instructions related to preventing work accidents. This guide, created in pocketbook form, was officially handed over to the management team on Monday (October 21) and subsequently distributed to all MSP employees. For MSP’s workforce, known as Insan Harita, this guide is more than just paper, it’s a compass for navigating risks and fostering a culture of safety.
This bilingual pocket guide is more than just a list of instructions; it holds essential guidance on accident prevention, working in confined spaces, using personal protective equipment, and emergency procedures. Beyond instructions, each page is designed to help employees understand and recognize the hazards present in their work environment and effectively address those risks. Through this effort, MSP demonstrates that safety is not just a company target but a deeply held value.
 
"At Harita Nickel, we prioritize the safety and health of our employees above all else. This pocket guide is part of our continuous effort to ensure that Insan Harita has access to practical and easily understood safety guidelines. Thus, they not only understand the risks within their work environment but also know the correct steps to protect themselves and their colleagues," expressed Tonny Gultom, Director of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) at Harita Nickel.
<img alt="Dsc05081 11zon" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/DSC05081_11zon.jpg">
&nbsp;“Our goal is to make sure every employee can go home healthy and safe each day. Through this guide, we aim to offer practical OHS information that’s easy to understand and apply,” shares Willy Kusuma Dewadi, Head of Technical Support at MSP further.
 
MSP has also planned a company-wide awareness initiative to ensure that over 2,000 employees can deepen their understanding of operational risks. “We hope this guide not only strengthens employees’ understanding of risk management in the field but also serves as a practical tool they can carry anywhere,” Willy adds.
 
This initiative reflects MSP’s long-term mission: to establish a safety-centered work culture where everyone, from managers to frontline workers, plays a role in each other’s well-being. With passion, Willy asserts, “Safety is a shared responsibility.” Like a map well-marked, this OHS pocket guide is a small yet transformative resource for building a safe and humane workplace in the nickel mining and processing sector.
 
This distribution aims to foster mutual care among colleagues. Workplace safety is not just about self-protection but about ensuring everyone around us can work safely, reflecting Harita Nickel’s core value of teamwork. “When employees actively support each other’s safety, they go beyond following K3 protocols and help build a culture of shared responsibility,” explains Charles Hasiholan, Deputy Head of Health, Safety, Security, and Environment (HSSE) at MSP.
 
Beyond teamwork, accountability plays a crucial role in sustaining safety at MSP. Each individual is encouraged to take personal responsibility for following OHS standards and identifying potential hazards. Accountability ensures that every action, big or small, directly impacts everyone’s safety. “Armed with these core values, our work environment becomes stronger, with safety not merely an individual concern but a collective commitment, woven seamlessly into daily operations,” Charles concludes.

Improving Work Safety, Harita Nickel Distributes K3 Pocket Book

The 2024 National <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/sustainability/occupational-health-safety" target="_blank">Occupational Health and Safety (K3)</a> Month was celebrated nationwide from January 12 to February 12. This year's theme, "Fostering an OHS Culture: Healthy, Safe Work Practices for Business Continuity," highlights the need to integrate OHS principles into workplace culture. The goal is to reduce workplace accidents and occupational illnesses, ultimately improving productivity.
At Harita Nickel, OHS Month is celebrated annually, with each business unit organizing different activities. The events begin and end with a formal ceremony, and each unit hosts various initiatives to boost participation and engagement.
Activities include sports competitions, OHS evaluations across departments, and a videography contest focused on OHS themes, all designed to emphasize the importance of occupational health and safety in the workplace.

Muksin Muhdin, OHS Trainer Supervisor at <a href="http://tbpnickel.com" target="_blank">PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (TBP)</a>&nbsp;and the chairman of OHS Month committee, explained that this year the company organized a variety of activities focused on occupational health and safety.

To promote workplace health, various sports competitions were held, including badminton, sepak takraw, basketball, volleyball, and running. Meanwhile, to enhance employees knowledge and awareness of workplace safety, the company hosted a First Aid Challenge, departmental Safety Accountability Program (SAP) evaluations, and a Best Performance <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/media/kabar-obi/highlight/sah-tiga-anak-usaha-harita-nickel-raih-sertifikasi-iso-14001-2015-dan-iso-45001-2018" target="_blank">ISO 45001</a> competition on Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.

While other business units organized on-site activities, this year <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/about-us/subsidiaries/smelter" target="_blank">PT Surya Megah Pertiwi (MSP)</a> focused on online competitions, utilizing digital platforms. These included a safety-themed drawing competition for employees children and a “Caring for Colleagues” video competition for employees.

Fajar Aprianto, Safety Operational Supervisor at PT Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP), explained that the drawing competition involving employees children conveyed the message that workplace safety is not only important for the employees but also holds significant meaning for the families waiting at home.

The “Caring for Colleagues” video competition reminded employees to be more aware of their surroundings. When noticing any potential hazards caused by a colleague, Harita employees are encouraged to speak up as a gesture of care and responsibility.

Like other business units, <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/about-us/subsidiaries/smelter" target="_blank">PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF)</a> organized activities to raise employee awareness of occupational health and safety. This effort aligns with the company's goal of achieving Zero Loss Time Injury (LTI) in its operations. LTI refers to work-related accidents that cause permanent disability or result in lost workdays. To achieve the Zero LTI target, support from all levels of the organization is essential.

HJF’s OHS Month activities not only focused on employees but also engaged the local community. These activities included free health check-ups and medical treatments, beach cleanups, and OHS education sessions for high school students at SMA Tunas Muda in Kawasi Village.

The involvement of the community and attention to environmental care reflects the company’s commitment to the principles of <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/sustainability/about-sustainability" target="_blank">Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)</a>, aiming to create a positive impact on the surrounding environment and society.

<a href="https://tbpnickel.com/about-us/subsidiaries/refinery" target="_blank">PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL)</a> also supported K3 awareness by organizing engaging and enjoyable activities.&nbsp;Events like the "Run for Fun and Color Run" encouraged employees to join in running and Zumba sessions together. More than 200 employees participated in the activities held at the Living Quarter area. Bambang A.&nbsp;Kader, Safety Trainer at HPL and chairman of the OHS Month committee, noted that making the event enjoyable helped employees better understand OHS education without feeling overwhelmed.

He hopes that a strong OHS culture will enhance company performance and productivity. “The goal is to foster a sense of care and responsibility among employees. With stronger connections, they will feel more comfortable reminding each other about safety when they notice any unsafe conditions,” he explained.

OHS Month: Nurturing Relationships for a Safer Workplace

Safety is everyone's responsibility at Harita Nickel. Every employee must ensure their own safety and look out for their coworkers. This commitment is guided by the Safety Pledge and the Four Steps to Safe Work, which align with the company’s Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) policy.
However, safety in the workplace is often seen as the sole responsibility of the Safety Department. Employees often follow protocols, like wearing their Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), only when they sense watchful eyes. The presence of the OHS team can sometimes feel intimidating, creating a culture where compliance is driven by oversight rather than genuine concern for well-being.
Younsel Evand Roos, PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (TBP) Director of Operations, emphasized that workplace safety is the priority in company’s operations. The slogan “Safety First,” which underscores the importance of OHS, signifies that safety must be the primary consideration before any work begins.&nbsp; It emphasizes a collective responsibility, extending beyond the individual to safeguard the well-being of everyone in the immediate environment, fostering a culture where protection is built into the foundation of daily operations.
“If someone reminds us to wear PPE or follow standard operating procedures (SOP), it means they are doing their job. Employees with a safety mindset will think about whether they're working safely and take immediate action to correct any unsafe behavior or conditions to protect themselves and others,” he stated during the closing ceremony of National OHS Month 2024.
Understanding the importance of occupational health and safety, the government and corporate stakeholders celebrate OHS Month each year. This tradition goes beyond a simple ritual; it aims to build a culture of safety in the workplace, ensuring that health and safety are top priorities for everyone.
“Safety must never be compromised. If production falls behind, we can catch up. However, a single lapse in safety can have dire consequences. This is the essence of ‘Safety First,’” he stated, emphasizing that the comprehensive implementation of all aspects of occupational health and safety will contribute to the company's productivity, ultimately benefiting employees and ensuring that both priorities progress in harmony.
Ngainur Rofiek, Head of Occupational Health, Safety & Training (OHST) for Harita Nickel’s mining operation, discussed the company’s efforts to integrate OHS into its workplace culture. He explained that the company has set policies reflected in various regulations and that these regulations are incorporated into the Safety Accountability Program (SAP) to ensure they are effectively implemented on the ground.
Rofiek elaborated that the SAP outlines how the OHS monitoring system operates, including when when inspections are conducted, who is responsible, the extent of their responsibilities, and how this information is communicated. To ensure comprehensive coverage, monitoring is conducted in a tiered system&mdash;starting from the foreman level, to supervisors, and upwards&mdash;where each level carries defined duties and responsibilities.
“These regulations are designed to instill a culture of safety. Initially, compliance is driven by rules and the potential for sanctions, but over time, these practices become ingrained and evolve into a workplace safety culture,” he explained.
 
To ensure comprehensive understanding and foster awareness, the company gradually provides training on the importance of occupational health and safety (OHS) alongside established regulations. At Harita Nickel, since 2023, Leadership Training has been implemented progressively, involving all employees from managers to staff across all departments.
 
According to Rofiek, training is a key part of accelerating the development of an OHS culture. The application of OHS principles is demonstrated through the leadership of each individual, with every employee being a leader for themselves and their surroundings.
 
“Our current task is to enhance our maturity level in safety implementation. There are five stages of safety maturity, and we are currently at the reactive stage. This is what we aim to improve,” he explained.
 
For context, the five stages of safety maturity include: vulnerable (basic), reactive, compliant, proactive, and resilient. At the first stage, safety exists only on paper, with minimal implementation. In the second stage, OHS becomes a priority only after incidents occur. The third stage focuses on compliance with regulations. In the proactive stage, efforts go beyond compliance, embedding safety into the company culture from top management to the workforce. At the resilient stage, safety becomes fully integrated, with ongoing innovations to enhance OHS practices.
 
Rofiek is confident that the maturity level of employees in applying OHS principles will continue to improve, largely due to strong support from management. He emphasized that OHS success is not solely dependent on regulations, sanctions, or training programs that expedite the development of a safety culture, but critically on the strong commitment from leadership.
 
“SOPs, regulations, sanctions, and training are key drivers in accelerating the development of a safety culture. However, the most significant factor is management's commitment. Thankfully, our top leadership is fully supportive,” he concluded.

OHS Culture at Obi Site: Safety Starts with Me

In celebration of the 2024 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Month, Harita Nickel’s business units at the Obi site are hosting a series of events spanning from January 12 to February 12, 2024. These activities are designed to raise awareness and strengthen the company’s commitment to workplace health and safety. 
The OHS Month commenced with an opening ceremony on Friday, January 12, 2024, led by each business unit. During the ceremony, the Indonesian Minister of Manpower’s message was conveyed, emphasizing this year’s theme: "Foster an OHS Culture, Stay Healthy and Safe at Work, and Ensure Business Continuity." Additionally, employees reaffirmed their commitment by reciting the Safety Pledge and revisiting the company’s core values, underscoring the critical role of safety in Harita Nickel's operations.
Following the opening ceremony, various business units are organizing a range of activities, including sports competitions, workplace safety initiatives, and community engagement efforts. PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (TBP) is hosting a football tournament, while PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL) is arranging sepak takraw, table tennis, badminton, and futsal competitions.&nbsp;
In terms of non-sporting events, each business unit has created unique opportunities to promote safety and community involvement. PT Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP) is holding a drawing contest for employees’ children themed around safety, while TBP is conducting a quiz competition and safety rescue demonstrations. HPL is promoting a 5S competition to encourage cleanliness and order in the workplace, and PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF) is organizing a beach clean-up near Kawasi Village.
This year's OHS Month theme serves as a reminder for all Harita employees to integrate health and safety as a fundamental part of the work culture. This approach is vital for protecting employees’ well-being and ensuring the company’s operational continuity.
By fostering a strong culture of health and safety and actively participating in these OHS Month events, Harita Nickel reaffirms its commitment to creating a safe, sustainable, and productive work environment.

​Harita Nickel Commemorates OHS Month with Sports and Workplace Safety Initiatives

The National <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/sustainability/occupational-health-safety" target="_blank">Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)</a> Month (Bulan&nbsp;K3 Nasional) is a significant annual event in Indonesia, especially in the mining sector, including at&nbsp;<a href="http://tbpnickel.com" target="_blank">Harita Nickel</a>. 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 <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/media/kabar-obi/k3l/gelar-pelatihan-p3k-harita-nickel-tingkatkan-standar-keselamatan-kerja" target="_blank">training</a> 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&mdash;because safety is part of our culture.

PPE: More Than Just an Accessory, It's a Necessity

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.

<figcaption>A presentation on fatigue risk management, addressing common daily health concerns, and emergency response protocols.</figcaption>
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.
 
&nbsp;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.
