PT Terminal Teluk Lamong (TTL) held its 2026 Safety Forum from March 10 to 12, aiming to strengthen the implementation of occupational safety and health (OHS) practices and reinforce operational safety culture at the container terminal.
The forum, themed “Safety Improvement Program,” gathered 65 participants from Terminal Petikemas Teluk Lamong, Terminal Petikemas Berlian, and Terminal Petikemas Nilam. Participants included workers with key operational roles such as shift managers, heavy equipment operators, foremen and security officers.
President Director of PT Terminal Teluk Lamong, David P. Sirait, said the forum was designed to produce practical ideas and programs to further strengthen safety implementation at the terminal.
“Through this forum, we hope to generate ideas, input and programs that can enhance the implementation of occupational safety and health at Teluk Lamong Terminal,” David said.
“We also want to ensure that all parties, both internal and external, have a stronger understanding of safety standards in port operations.”
David added that consistent enforcement of reward and punishment mechanisms is important in maintaining workplace safety standards. He also stressed the need for continuous strengthening of safety induction programs for all workers and external parties entering the terminal’s operational area.
The forum was attended by several leaders from the Pelindo Group, including PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) Director of Risk Management Boy Robyanto, who joined virtually, as well as PT Pelindo Terminal Petikemas President Director M. Adji and Operations Director Muarip.
Muarip said heavy equipment used in port operations carries significant operational risks if not managed under strict safety standards.
“Operational equipment at ports involves high levels of risk,” he said. “This forum is expected not only to serve as a platform for sharing experiences, but also to produce findings, ideas and recommendations that can strengthen the occupational safety system across the Pelindo Group.”
As part of efforts to strengthen human resource capacity, the forum featured several speakers who shared experiences and best practices in managing occupational safety and health in the port sector.
Through knowledge-sharing sessions, group discussions and field observations, participants were encouraged to identify potential safety risks in operational areas, including unsafe behaviors and unsafe conditions that could lead to workplace accidents if not addressed systematically.
TTL said the Safety Forum forms part of the company’s broader commitment to improving operational safety standards at the terminal, particularly given the complex nature of container terminal operations involving cargo handling, heavy equipment movement, operational vehicles and intensive interaction between workers and machinery.
Through the initiative, the company aims to achieve several strategic targets, including reducing workplace accidents to zero, lowering unsafe acts, particularly those involving truck drivers within the terminal area, and strengthening safety leadership at supervisory and managerial levels. The company is also promoting the implementation of Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) as an approach to building a stronger and more sustainable safety culture, with the goal of achieving zero fatalities and reducing the Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) in its operational environment.
