Mereka Berbagi Cerita


Muhammad Gazali: Hal Kecil Manfaat Besar
Di workshop Mobile Equipment Maintenance (MEM), tampak hilir-mudik pekerja mengenakan pakaian
putih-biru, pelindung kepala, kacamata, sepatu boot, dan penutup telinga. Tak ada ceceran oli atau
kendaraan yang belepotan tanah. Kebersihan akan mempermudah pekerja menjaga keselamatan,
karena semua benda bisa terlihat, kata Gazali, Manager DH & Component Rebuild Shop.

Setiap hari supervisor dan karyawan di workshop MEM memeriksa semua kelengkapan dan prosedur
keselamatan. Briefing seputar keselamatan dilakukan setiap Selasa dan Jumat, sementara untuk
kontraktor dilakukan setiap Rabu.

Ada 18 bahaya utama yang punya standardisasi penanganan MHS (major hazards standard), yang
sekarang dintegrasikan menjadi RAC (critical activity requirement). Pengecekan reguler kendaraan
besar seperti truk dan dozer dilakukan setiap 250 jam operasi atau 14 hari. Sebelum dilakukan
perbaikan, kendaraan dipastikan benar-benar bersih, terbebas dari lumpur dan debu. Ini hal kecil,
namun kita menjaga kemungkinan yang ada. Pekerja atau para mekanik bisa saja menghirup debu
dan dapat menganggu kesehatan, kata Gazali.

Mengenakan sarung tangan juga hal sepele, tapi dampaknya besar. Ada risiko tangan pekerja
terjepit material atau terpukul palu. Bayangkan bila pekerja tidak menggunakan kaos tangan. Bisa jadi
jari tangan sudah remuk, tambah Gazali. Berdasarkan kajian investigasi internal Departemen MEM,
kecelakaan kerja ringan biasanya terjadi karena ada yang bekerja terburu-buru dan mengambil jalan
pintas.

Yusri Yunus: Belajar dari Pengalaman Buruk


Tahun 2005, ketika pintu air Petea di hulu Danau Matano macet tak bisa ditutup, Agus Sanco
mengepalai satu tim untuk melakukan penyelaman. Agus Sanco memiliki keahlian menyelam.
Yusri Yunus, Manager of Hydro Operation, Utilities Department ikut dalam tim tersebut, di barisan
kedua penyelam. Permukaan air begitu tenang, namun di bawah papan pintu air yang terbuka tampak
lubang menganga dengan pusaran air yang kuat. Dibutuhkan bantuan alat berat untuk menutup
pintu air itu.Seraya menunggu bantuan alat berat, Agus Sanco berniat membuktikan kekuatan
pusaran air tersebut.

Tali pengikat disematkan di badannya, dan menyelamlah dia. Pusaran air tiba-tiba mengisap tubuh
Agus. Beberapa lama kemudian dia ditemukan tak lagi bernyawa. Itulah pengalaman buruk Yusri
seputar keselamatan rekan kerjanya. Sejak saat itu, aturan penyelaman diperketat, kata Yusri.

Menurut Yusri, pemahaman tentang keselamatan kerja di PT Vale sudah berjalan baik. Meski demikian
masih terdapat kesalahan persepsi mengenai urutan prosedur keselamatan. Banyak orang
menganggap alat pelindung diri (APD) sebagai rujukan awal. Padahal, kata Yusri, APD merupakan
rujukan paling akhir. Yang utama adalah bagaimana mengenal potensi bahaya, kemudian melakukan
mitigasi, baru kemudian menyiapkan APD, katanya.

Di PLTA, setiap pekan atau 48 kali dalam setahun dilakukan audit prosedur keselamatan, mulai dari
kegiatan di area bendungan hingga check list kelayakan kendaraan operasional. Tak heran bila di area
PLTA kadang terjadi penghentian pekerjaan bila standar keselamatan tidak terpenuhi.

Bernat Luhur Panuwun: Menunjukkan Kelas Perusahaan


Ada 14 bahaya utama di Departemen Process Plant. Namun standar penanganan bahaya sebagaimana
termaktub dalam buku pedoman tidak bisa serta-merta diterapkan. Perlu dibuat format dan prosedur
lebih jauh lagi.

Tim kami membuat kerangka penerapan lebih jauh dan melakukan sosialisasi standar penanganan
bahaya, ujar Luhur, sapaan Bernat Luhur Panuwun, Process Plant Department MHS Champion.

Sudah dua tahun terakhir Luhur menjabat MHS Champion. Menurut Luhur, standar keselamatan
menunjukkan kelas perusahaan. PT Vale ini kan bagian dari perusahaan global. Ketika kita
menerapkan standar yang diakui dunia, kita semakin percaya diri bahwa kita ini perusahaan berkelas
internasional. Standarnya tidak main-main, kata Luhur. Saat ini PT Vale menggunakan sistem
manajemen Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series 18001 yang diakui secara global.

Luhur pernah melihat rekannya tidak mengenakan body harness ketika bekerja di ketinggian lebih
dari 1,8 meter. Dia juga terkadang melihat orang tidak memasang kacamata dengan benar ketika
sedang mengelas. Yang seperti itu harus segera diingatkan. Siapapun harus mengingatkan rekannya
agar bekerja sesuai prosedur keselamatan, kata Luhur.

Insiden yang pernah dia saksikan adalah pekerja yang jemarinya retak kecil lantaran terjepit material
berat dan tangan pekerja tergores alat bergerak. Memasang safety guard dan signage bisa
mengurangi risiko insiden. Tapi yang utama tetap kesadaran pekerja memperhatikan keselamatan,
ujar Luhur lebih jauh.

They share stories


Muhammad Gazali: Small Things have Big Use
In the Mobile Equipment Maintenance (MEM) workshop, workers were busy moving about, clad in white and blue outfits, protective
head gear, safety glasses, boots and earmuffs. There were no oil spills or mud-splattered vehicles about. Cleanliness makes it easier for
workers to stay safe because everything can be seen, said Gazali, Manager DH & Component Rebuild Shop.
Every day, MEM workshop supervisors and employees check all safety fittings and procedures. Briefings on safety issues are conducted
every Tuesday and Friday; and for contractors, they are held every Wednesday. We never tire of imparting an understanding of work
safety issues because employees are the most important thing, said Gazali.

There are 18 hazards that must be dealt with under the MHS (major hazards standards), which have now been integrated with the
RAC (Requirement Activity Critical). Regular checks on large vehicles such as trucks and dozers are done every 250 hours of operation,
or every 14 days.

Before repairs are conducted, vehicles must be completely clean and free of mud and dust. This is a small thing, but we are avoiding any
possibilities. Workers or mechanics could easily inhale dust and this will be detrimental to their health, said Gazali.

Wearing gloves may seem a small thing, but it has a big impact. There is the risk of workers hands getting caught in materials or
being hit by a hammer. Imagine if workers didnt wear gloves; their fingers would have been broken by now, said Gazali. Based on MEM
Departments internal investigations, light accidents usually occur when people are in a rush and take shortcuts.

Yusri Yunus: Learning from a Horrific Experience


In 2005, when the Petea floodgate in the upstream regions of Lake Matano was stuck and could not be closed, Agus Sanco headed a dive
team. Agus Sanco was an experienced diver. Yusri Yunus, Manager of Hydro Operation, Utilities Department, was in the teams second
line of divers.

10 H a l o Va l e I Edis i D es em ber 2012


COVER STORY

The waters surface seemed very calm but under the open floodgate was a big hole with a strong current running through it. Heavy
machinery was required to close the floodgate. While waiting for the machinery to arrive, Agus Sanco decided to test the strength of the
current.

Fastening a line to his body, he dived into the water. The rip immediately caught his body and sucked him in. Moments later he was
found lifeless. That was Yusris horrific experience in relation to work safety. Since then, diving regulations have been stricter, said Yusri.

Yusri said peoples understanding of work safety at PT Vale has been good, but there are still misperceptions about the sequence of
safety procedures. Many people consider personal protective equipment (PPE) as a first reference. Yusri said PPE was in fact the last
reference. The key thing is to recognize potential dangers, follow this with mitigation and then prepare PPE, he said.

At the hydroelectric power plant, safety procedure audits are conducted every week, or 48 times a year, targeting everything from
activities in the dam area to the roadworthiness of operational vehicles. It is therefore not surprising that work at the plant is sometimes
halted when safety standards are not met. In 2010, for example, a job of painting water pipes at the Larona plant was stopped because
the contractors practices were deemed unsafe. Having a delay is better than having a fatal accident, Yusri said.

Bernat Luhur Panuwun: Showing Company Class


There were 14 major hazards at Process Plant Department. But hazard handling standards, as described in existing guidelines, could not
be implemented in their current form. It was necessary to further extend the standards format and procedure.

Our team created a framework for further implementation and conducted a socialization program for hazard handling standards, said
Luhur, the name that Process Plant Department MHS Champion, Bernat Luhur Panuwun, goes by.

For the last two years, Luhur has been a MHS Champion. Luhur said safety standards showed a companys class. PT Vale is part of a
global corporation. When we implement standards that are acknowledged worldwide, we can be confident that we are an international
class company. You dont mess around with standards like that, said Luhur. Currently PT Vale uses the globally recognized Occupational
Health and Safety Assessment Series 18001 management system.

Luhur has seen colleagues fail to use body harnesses when working at heights of over 1.8 meters. He has also seen people not wear their
safety glasses properly when welding. These things must be pointed out immediately. Everyone should remind their colleagues to work
according to safety procedures, said Luhur.

He once witnessed an incident where a worker fractured a finger after getting it caught between heavy materials, and another where a
workers arm was grazed by moving machinery. Having safety guards and signage can reduce the risk of accidents, but the main thing is
for workers to be aware of their safety, Luhur added.

Safety Events. Perusahaan menggelar serangkaian kegiatan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran akan K3. Rangkaian ajang
Health & Safety Global Week yang salah satu tujuannya adalah mendorong karyawan agar pergi dan pulang kerja naik bus
karena potensi dan tingkat kecelakaan juga kerap terjadi di jalan raya ketika mereka pergi dan pulang kerja (commuting
accident). Ada juga kampanye mengurangi atau berhenti rokok, serta kampanye penggunaan alat pelindung diri (APD) yang
aman dan tepat. Juga melalui pelaksanaan Day of Reflection dan Bulan K3.

Major road maintenance dilakukan periodik setiap delapan tahun sekali. Namun hal itu tergantung kondisi jalan dan volume kendaraan.
Terakhir perusahaan melakukannya pada tahun lalu 2011, sebelumnya 2002.
Ridwan, Civil Road Maintenance PT Vale.

Sorowako, Surga
Kawanan Burung
Lebih dari separuh burung unik Sulawesi
berada di pesisir Danau Matano.

Halo Vale pernah bertanya kepada beberapa pekerja PT Vale


tentang pengalaman mereka tinggal di Sorowako. Rata-rata,
mereka merasa betah dan senang tinggal di daerah yang
memiliki pesona alam seperti di Sorowako. Saya senang
sekali tinggal di sini. Alamnya sungguh cantik, ujar COO
Josimar Pires pada satu kesempatan.

Josimar tidak salah. Sorowako, memang memiliki alam


yang indah dan kaya flora-fauna karena berada di kawasan
Wallace. Di sinilah tempat tumbuhnya pohon endemis
seperti eboni dan dengen serta bermukimnya babirusa atau
anoa.

Berada di ketinggian 400 meter dari permukaan laut, dengan


hutan masih lestari, membuat Sorowako juga dihuni banyak
spesies burung. Weldi Purwanto, pencinta dan fotografer Kata Weldi, yang sedang menyiapkan buku tentang burung-

Sorowako,
a Paradise for Birds
More than half the birds unique to Sulawesi
can be found on the shores of Lake Matano.

Halo Vale once asked several PT Vale employees about their


experience living in Sorowako. On average, they said they felt
at home and enjoyed living in place that had such a stunning
natural environment. I like living here. The nature is very
beautiful, COO Josimar Pires once said.

Josimar is not wrong there. Sorowako has an extraordinary


environment that is rich in flora and fauna because it lies
in the Wallace region. This is where endemic trees, such as
ebony and dengen can be found, as well as animals like the
babirusa and anoa.

Located at a height of 400 meters above sea level, Sorowako


still sustains forests inhabited by numerous bird species.
Weldi Purwanto, a bird enthusiast and photographer said
there are at least 81 bird species living in PT Vales mining
area. Thirteen of them are species endemic to Sulawesi,
said the bespectacled employee of PT Vales Mechanical Civil
Engineering Department.

The book by Brian J. Coates and K. David Bishop, A Guide To


the Birds of Wallacea: Sulawesi, the Moluccas and Lesser Sunda
Islands, also contains similar findings. The island of Sulawesi
is home to 117 unique birds. This means that more than half
the bird species in Sulawesi can be found in Sorowako.

Celebes Endemic Birds in Sorowako



Sulawesi Serpent Eagle (Spilomis rufipectus):
May grow up to 50 cm. Easily spotted in forests or open
areas. Preys on small mammals, reptiles, birds, birds and
insects.

Sulawesi Hawk Eagle (Spizaetus lanceolatus):


Measuring about 60 cm. Its habitat is the periphery of high
canopy forests. Preys on small mammals, reptiles and
insects

Yellow-and-green Lorikeet (Trichoglossus flavoviridis):


A medium-sized bird (21 cm). Usually lives in tall trees with
thick canopies. Feeds on fruit and nuts.

Yellow-breasted Racket-tail Parrot (Prioniturus flavicans):


A medium-sized bird (about 37 cm). Lives in inland forests.
Feeds on fruit and nuts.

Purple-winged Roller (Coracias temminckii):


A medium-sized bird (32 cm). Lives on the periphery of high
canopy forests with open grassy areas. Feeds on insects.

Yellow-sided Flowerpecker (Dicaeum aureolimbatum):


A small bird (about 9 cm). Widespread, from forests to
residential areas. Feeds on nectar.

Weldi, whose preparing his book of Sorowakos Birds, said


the dynamics of these creatures were closely related to the
success rate of reforestation in PT Vales post-mining area.
Although they live in a mining area, the birds habitats like
the big, tall trees in several mining and factory sites have
been maintained. The birds still have a place to play, forage
and rest, he said.

Dr Dewi M Prawiradilaga, a senior researcher at the


Indonesian Institute of Sciences Research Center for
Biology, said the presence of birdlife is an indication that
an environment or location was still good. Birds are often
used as an indicator of a healthy environment and have a
role in sustaining nature, she said.

No wonder Sorowako residents still find it easy to hear


birds singing and soaring into the sky. []

Berhenti Merokok Selamanya
Jika rokok bagai candu, bisakah saya berhenti
merokok untuk selamanya? Bisa. Setiap orang yang
ingin berhenti merokok punya 3-5% kemungkinan
untuk berhasil. Mereka yang sukses berhenti merokok
perlu mencoba beberapa kali. Namun setiap kali
berhenti, Anda punya tambahan 5% kemungkinan

artinya Anda punya 20% peluang untuk berhasil (4 kali
percobaan X 5% peluang = 20% peluang berhasil). Jika
Anda gagal, jangan terlalu larut menyalahkan diri. Para
ahli percaya, kebanyakan orang yang gigih mencoba
pada akhirnya akan sukses berhenti merokok.
