INDOFOOD AGRI RESOURCES LTD
SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2014
HEALTH AND
SAFETY
IndoAgri is fully committed to provide a healthy and safe work
environment for the employees.
In 2014, the Group’s Accident Rate (including casual labour)
was 2.6 work accidents per 1,000,000 man
-
hours. The Lost
-
Time Accident Rate (LTAR) (including casual labour) was 348
man
-
hours per 1,000,000 man
-
hours.
Regretably, during the year, five fatalities occurred in our
facilities, two of which involved casual labours. All the
incidents were thoroughly investigated, and measures taken to
prevent recurrence. Immediate assistance was provided to the
family members. A member of local senior management also
visited the household to understand their situations and to
support their needs. The families were compensated through
Jamsostek. Workers who are not directly employed by IndoAgri
are covered under a separate social insurance scheme. (See
table on the right.)
36% of our accidents involved foot injuries, 10% hand injuries,
and 10% finger injuries.
We have implemented the SistemManajemen Keselamatan dan
Kesehatan Kerja (SMK3), the Indonesian OHS management
system. The SMK3 is comparable with the OHSAS 18001:2007
performance standard. SMK3 implementation involves hazard
identification and prevention, risk management, medical
examination and programme evaluation.
The estate and mill managers are trained in SMK3 workplace
safety and operational techniques. Safetymessages are regularly
communicated to the employees, and reinforced through our
OHS pledge and policy, SMK3 manuals and procedures, work
instructions, emergency and first aid procedures, and other
health and safety processes.

Note 1: Data for all IndoAgri units. Casual labour is excluded because gender
-
specific accident data are not yet available. We will provide the figures in future
reporting.
Note 2: All rates are per 1,000,000 man
-
hours. LTAR measures the productivity
loss due to accidents and is calculated as follows: Accident Rate x 1,000,000
man
-
hours divided by Total Working Hours (number of employees x 40 hours x
50 weeks). An LTAR is recorded when an employee is referred to a clinic due to a
workplace accident, and given leave of absence.
As a responsible employer, IndoAgri aims to reduce workplace
accidents and injuries, and to achieve zero work
-
related
fatalities. Most of the accidents were caused by distraction
and avoidable. Every work
-
related accident is recorded,
evaluated, and the lessons shared with all the SMK3 teams to
prevent recurrence.
ENFORCING WORKPLACE HEALTH AND SAFETY
A Health and Safety Committee, known as Panitia Pembina
Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja (P2K3), is set up in every
estate, mill and refinery. The P2K3 comprises bothmanagement
and operational representatives. The committee monitors the
SMK3 compliance against IndoAgri’s OHS framework, and
provides inputs on effective OHS implementation.
The CLA with the workers’ union has included OHS with
provisions such as the proper equipping of all field workers with
PPE, setting up of an OHS Trustee Committee, providing basic
education and training to all employees, and putting in place
a grievance mechanism. Periodic workplace inspection, SMK3
audit, and evaluation of work accidents are also performed
together with the employee representatives.
