The Faculty of Public Health (FPH) Universitas Indonesia (UI) conducted a visit to PT Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (HMMI) on August 23 – 24, 2022. This meeting is one of the follow-ups to the collaboration that has been made between FPH UI and PT HMMI which focuses on in the tri dharma of higher education, one of which is by providing training and opportunities for undergraduate students of the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and Environmental Health Study Program to conduct safety training. This activity was attended by the Head of the OHS FPH UI Study Program, Mila Tejamaya, S.Si., M.O.H.S., Ph.D.; Lecturer of the Environmental Health Study Program, FPH UI, Drs. Abdul Rahman, M.Env.; and 30 students.
This activity began with a comprehensive presentation of material from PT HMMI regarding the company profile, occupational safety and health management system (SMK3), as well as the application of regulations and practical aspects in protecting the environment and maintaining health and safety in the workplace.
On the same occasion, PT HMMI explained the safety training modules carried out at the safety training center, including noise experience, electrical safety, experience of using helmets and safety shoes (safety helmet/boots impact experience), rigging and lifting experience, safety harness experience, virtual reality safety experience, first CPR – AED (first aid) experience, and manual material handling. On the same occasion, students also simulated directly in each lesson accompanied by the PT HMMI safety training center in an effort to further refine students’ academic knowledge and practice learning directly in the field.
Furthermore, focusing on improving the quality of learning, industrial visits were also carried out for students. Through this activity, students can see and understand the process of activities and management systems of an industry holistically and know about the application of knowledge in the world of work. In addition, this activity is also expected to add insight into the industrial world related to Occupational Safety and Health and Environmental Health.
“This activity can be an opportunity to add insight and experience directly using complete, interactive, and high technology training facilities to enhance learning apart from the faculty,” said FPH UI student, Abdul Fatah, giving an impression after attending training with PT HMMI.
“Hopefully this activity can take place on an ongoing basis to improve the quality of learning for students, by facilitating the planned annual agenda, such as internship programs, research, and matching fund grants,” said Head of OHS FPH UI Study Program, Mila Tejamaya, S.Si. , M.O.H.S., Ph.D. This meeting is also expected to be a good step for FPH UI and PT HMMI to continue to strengthen cooperation in the development of other higher education tri dharma activities.
