MAKASSAR INDONESIA (ISL News) - PT Pelindo Jasa Maritim as one of the subholdings of PT Pelindo (Persero) engaged in marine, equipment, and port services (MEPS) is continuing its Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) program, namely the development of a sustainable village (Desa) for the Rammang-Rammang tourist village on February 14, 2025, located at Pier 2.
This time, the implementation was collaborated with the commemoration of K3 month which initiated increasing awareness of work safety by providing emergency response equipment in the form of light fire extinguishers (APAR) and First Aid Kits for Accidents (P3K).
"With the spirit of commemorating the K3 month, we also intend to internalize the K3 culture not only to the SPJM Group but also to external parties and one of them is the Rammang-Rammang Tourism Village community which is an SPJM fostered village. Previously, SPJM has also implemented several sustainable village development programs in Rammang-Rammang including: rebranding of residents' tourist boats, making composters, repairing compost houses, and also installing solar cells. So the hope is that Rammang-Rammang as a tourist village with high potential is also managed by considering environmental sustainability through the use of renewable energy and also not ignoring occupational safety and health factors. "Said Tubagus Patrick, SPJM Corporate Secretary.
This assistance was received directly by the Head of the Rammang-Rammang Ecotourism Unit and witnessed by the Rammang-Rammang River Sub-District Coordinator and the tour boat operators.
"On behalf of our friends, managers and tourism service providers in Rammang-Rammang Village, we would like to express our gratitude for the assistance from Pelindo Jasa Maritim. Hopefully this assistance can be useful for us in anticipating emergencies, and we can use it properly," said H. Jamaluddin, chairman of Rammang-Rammang Ecotourism.
First aid kits are important facilities that must be available in every public facility, therefore with this assistance, the community around the pier can provide first aid if there is a minor disaster around the pier. While the provision of APAR is certainly also an effort to make the surrounding community more aware of safety, and can respond more quickly to emergency situations, especially if there is a small fire.
This assistance is a form of concern from PT Pelindo Jasa Maritim to the local community around the Rammang-Rammang area, most of whose livelihoods are as boat operators who faithfully serve every visitor who tours the Rammang-Rammang area. With this assistance, it is hoped that the community in the Rammang-Rammang tourist village can be more concerned about the importance of work safety and can also have adequate facilities to take quick action in the event of an emergency.
