In a collaborative effort aimed at enhancing operational safety and efficiency, PT Pelindo Regional 3, PT Pelindo Terminal Petikemas (SPTP), PT Terminal Teluk Lamong (TTL), and PT Terminal Petikemas Surabaya (TPS) have teamed up with LSP Transportasi Indonesia (LSPTI) and Klub Logindo to offer BNSP certification to external truck drivers operating within and beyond the terminal.
On Thursday, December 5, 2024, a total of 30 truck drivers successfully earned their certifications, officially recognized for their competence by LSPTI. This initiative was hailed as a significant step towards improving the overall safety and effectiveness of terminal operations.
Juju Juarsih, Division Head of Human Resources and General Services, expressed strong support for the program, emphasizing its potential to improve the safety of terminal operations. “This certification program is invaluable as it ensures that drivers are fully competent, which directly contributes to safer and more secure operations. It also sets a standard for other terminals to enhance their own safety and service protocols,” she stated.
In addition to boosting driver competence, the certification program aims to raise awareness about the importance of Occupational Safety and Health (K3), with a special focus on driving safety.
David Sirait, President Director of PT Terminal Teluk Lamong, highlighted that the program extends K3 awareness beyond just company employees to include all stakeholders involved at the terminal. “Our goal is to prevent accidents and fatalities caused by driver negligence. This certification ensures that everyone operates with safety in mind,” said Sirait.
Christine Agni, Head of the East Java Logindo Club DPC, also praised the initiative. “We extend our gratitude to the Pelindo Group for supporting this important activity. Truck drivers are the unsung logistics heroes, playing a critical role in ensuring that goods reach their destinations safely. This program is a vital step in safeguarding their well-being and the success of the logistics industry,” she commented.
Looking forward, this certification initiative will be implemented on an ongoing basis, with the goal of creating a lasting impact on both operational safety and efficiency. It aligns with Pelindo’s commitment to fostering a robust K3 culture within the company’s work environment, ensuring the safety and professionalism of all individuals involved in terminal operations.
