Integrating Safety in Every Operation of Our Company

PT Vale Indonesia Tbk recognizes the inherent risks in the mining sector and is committed to actively addressing these challenges. As a progressive mining company, our primary goal is to exceed industry standards and become a global leader in safety and reliability. With a strong determination to achieve a record of zero fatal accidents and minimize Occupational Diseases as much as possible, PTVI places significant emphasis on safety and risk management as the foundation of our organizational ethics. Our decision-making processes are guided by a firm commitment to prioritize safety and human life over all other assets and outcomes, reflecting our dedication to shaping a work culture that protects our employees from the potential hazards inherent in mining operations.
PT Vale Indonesia Tbk enforces strict standards to ensure safety and security in every work activity. Prior to engaging in any tasks, all employees must adhere to the prescribed guidelines and standards. This measure is designed to eradicate potential hazards and ensure work is executed with utmost safety. The encompassed guidelines and standards consist of:

1. Safe Work Permit (SWP) 
Safe Work Permit (SWP) is our key instrument in ensuring a safe work environment. It details requirements and procedures to address potential risks before starting a task, preventing unexpected events. These permits are essential for both maintenance and project activities, ensuring safety in a variety of areas, including Operations, Maintenance, Infrastructure, Administration and remote locations.

2. Critical Activity Requirements (CAR/RAC)
The primary purpose of these requirements is to establish minimum standards for conducting critical activities to safeguard lives during the work process. This document delineates mandatory requirements applicable across all areas and processes of the organization, whether undertaken by Vale employees or contractors. It encompasses various areas such as working at heights, operating light motor vehicles, handling molten metal, working with electricity, etc.

3. Guideline for Fatality Prevention Programs
The Fatality Prevention Program Guidelines outline a systematic approach aimed at preventing fatalities in the workplace. It provides a framework for identifying, assessing and mitigating risks to ensure a safe working environment, emphasizing proactive measures and continuous improvement to protect lives.

4. Guide for Fatigue Prevention
The Fatigue Prevention Guide is a guide to ensure the prevention of risks caused by fatigue. This guide provides insight into managing workload, rest intervals and promoting healthy sleep patterns to improve overall well-being and ensure optimal performance while minimizing the potential for accidents or mistakes due to fatigue.

Furthermore, PT Vale Indonesia Tbk regularly conducts "safety share" sessions in every meeting, aimed at reminding employees of the importance of health and safety in performing their tasks. This practice assists workers in identifying and controlling potential hazards in their projects or work. It not only reflects the company's and employees' commitment to health and safety but also serves as a moment to reflect on past experiences as valuable learning opportunities.
