Pelindo Regional 1 Strengthens K3 Culture Through Safety Awareness Training for Pelindo Group Employees

MEDAN | INDATANEWS.COM - PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) Regional 1 continues to strengthen its commitment to occupational health and safety (K3) culture within its corporate environment through the implementation of a Safety Awareness Training program for Pelindo Group employees. The event was held on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, at the PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) Regional 1 office in Medan. It forms part of the company's ongoing commitment to creating a safe, healthy, and productive work environment while supporting reliable and sustainable port operations.

The training brought together employees from various work units within the Pelindo Group. Participants underwent a structured program designed to deepen their understanding of the importance of workplace safety across all operational activities, particularly in port environments, which are inherently high-risk.

The session was conducted in well-organized stages, beginning with the opening ceremony and continuing through practical exercises. Pelindo Regional 1 not only delivered theoretical instruction but also equipped participants with hands-on skills in the use of safety equipment in accordance with applicable standards.

Safety Induction as the Foundation

The program began with a Safety Induction session, which served as an introduction to the safety procedures that must be observed throughout the training. Following this, all participants jointly sang the Indonesian national anthem, "Indonesia Raya," as a form of respect and to strengthen national awareness before proceeding to the main agenda.

During the core session, participants were introduced to the implementation of safety culture in port operations. It was emphasized that safety is not merely an administrative obligation, but a fundamental workplace culture that must be embedded in daily operations.

Occupational Safety Principles in Focus

As the main speaker, Anggiat M.S., S.T., M.M., delivered key insights into occupational health and safety principles that all employees must understand. These included fundamental K3 principles, hazard identification in the workplace, risk control measures, and compliance with established safety procedures.

The material aimed to equip employees with the ability to identify potential risks early in their daily work and take preventive action before accidents occur.

Practical Use of Safety Equipment

In addition to theoretical learning, participants also engaged in practical exercises involving safety equipment for work at height. They were trained on the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and other safety devices in accordance with operational standards.

This practical component is considered a crucial element of the training, as it provides participants with direct experience in handling work equipment safely. It ensures that theoretical knowledge is translated into practical competence.

Interactive Discussion Enhances Understanding

Another key component of the training was an interactive discussion and question-and-answer session. Participants took the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, and discuss challenges in implementing safety measures in daily operations.

The dialogue between speakers and participants helped deepen understanding of the practical application of K3 principles in operational environments. The shared experiences became collective learning points, reinforcing the importance of a strong safety culture.

These discussions also highlighted that occupational safety is a shared responsibility among all employees. It is not limited to specific departments but is an integral part of every individual's behavior within the organization.

The company also encourages active employee participation, including reporting potential hazards, implementing preventive measures, and providing mutual reminders in risky work situations.

Commitment to Safe Port Operations

The Manager of Legal and Public Relations of PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) Regional 1, Fadillah Haryono, stated that the training reflects the company's continuous commitment to strengthening safety awareness among employees.

"Pelindo Regional 1 remains committed to embedding a safety culture across the organization. Through this training, we hope all employees better understand the importance of complying with work procedures, properly using protective equipment, and identifying and controlling risks," Fadillah said.

He further emphasized that the success of safety culture largely depends on the active involvement of all employees. Therefore, the company continuously invests in human resource development through sustainable training programs.
