"Safety or safety at work is one of the supporting factors for the smooth operation of a terminal, where unsafe conditions and unsafe actions cause incidents that result in disruption of operational activities and cause losses, therefore good awareness is needed to minimize risks so that incidents do not occur," said M. Syukur.
In this Safety Awareness socialization , all participants gained knowledge about the roles and obligations of Lasher and TBCK workers in complying with safety regulations at work, the dangers and risks of working at the port, the main causes of work accidents, and examples of cases related to safety at the terminal as learning.
On the same occasion, David Pandapotan Sirait, President Director of PT Terminal Teluk Lamong emphasized that work safety is not only important for workers, but also for co-workers and families at home. " Safety First is not just a slogan, but an order that must be obeyed by all workers. A safe work environment will ensure that work runs smoothly and every worker can return home safely," said David.
By holding the Safety Awareness socialization activity to all lasher and TBCK workers, it is hoped that it will be able to increase safety awareness at work so that it can create safe working conditions and achieve Zero Accident at PT Terminal Teluk Lamong, continuing TTL's efforts which have currently achieved Non-Lost Time Injury (NLTI) until October 2024 of 20,825,180 hours.
