Pembersihan Silo
Silo Semen
Inti Pembelajaran
Jika memungkinkan, pertimbangkan hal-hal berikut ini:
• Prosedur Kerja Aman: Prosedur Kerja Aman untuk pembersihan silo harus mempertimbangkan:
o Penggunaan kontrol rekayasa (engineering) untuk mengurangi paparan (contoh:
penggunaan platform kerja, metode Cardox atau whipping).
o Penggunaan alat pencegah jatuh (membuat platform kerja sementara yang baik -
scaffolding) dan alat pelindung jatuh (safety harnesses dan titik kait yang baik)
o Kontrol akses masuk dan pengawasan pada pekerjaan di ruang terbatas
• Tanggap Darurat: pastikan untuk memiliki kemampuan tanggap darurat dan metode
komunikasi yang baik dan teruji
• Contractors Safety Management: Kemampuan kontraktor dalam mengerjakan pekerjaan
tersebut harus dipastikan dengan melakukan metode pre kualifikasi dan pengawasan yang baik.

Silo Cleaning Work
A Person Died...
A person was buried alive during silo cleaning activities
On Monday 29th of April, four workers of a third party industrial cleaning and maintenance company
(also used by Holcim in the past), were cleaning using rope access the inside of a cement silo belonging
to a building and materials supplier (Non-Holcim related) when a mass of cement powder got dislodged
from the wall, burying two of the workers. The workers were dug out by their co-workers and rushed to
the Hospital. One of the workers, died from injuries at about 6pm that day while the other was
hospitalised for observation (Source: http://www.asiaone.com).

Key Learnings
If applicable, please consider the following aspects:
• Safe Work Procedures: Safe work procedure for Silo Cleaning need to be in place considering:
o Application of engineering controls to reduce the risk exposure (e.g. usage of work
platforms, Cardox or whipping method).
o Usage of fall prevention (properly erected temporary work platforms – scaffolds) and fall
protection (safety harnesses and related anchor points)
o Access control and supervision over confined spaces
• Emergence Response: Have proper emergency response capabilities and methods of
communication in place
• Contractors Safety Management: Capability of contractors conducting such work needs to be
ensured through application of appropriate prequalification and supervision methods
