PANGKALPINANG -- The implementation of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is not only about workplace safety but also the health condition of every employee. For this reason, PT Timah Tbk routinely carries out Medical Check-Ups (MCU) for its employees.
The MCU serves as a preventive measure to detect early signs of health issues among employees, while also supporting the creation of a healthy, safe, and productive work environment.
The program is implemented in stages across all PT Timah’s operational areas. Through comprehensive health screenings, the company can assess the real condition of employees and take anticipatory measures if potential health problems are detected.
The MCU has become a regular agenda to ensure that employees remain healthy and ready to perform at their best. Early detection also helps address potential occupational or general diseases, ensuring that productivity is maintained.
Beyond its role as part of the company’s OHS culture, the MCU is also a way to build a workplace culture that prioritizes health. Employees not only receive their medical results but also health education, including tips on healthy living, disease prevention, and maintaining a balance between work and personal well-being.
PT Timah also provides healthcare services through onsite clinics at its workplaces, available during working hours, and has established partnerships with local hospitals and clinics to further expand medical services for employees.
As a member of the Indonesian Mining Industry Holding (MIND ID), PT Timah regularly carries out health promotion programs to improve employee wellness on an ongoing basis.
“PT Timah Tbk is strongly committed to protecting the health and safety of employees. Routine health checks and health promotion programs not only protect workers from occupational risks and health issues but also help create a productive workplace,” said PT Timah Tbk’s Department Head of Corporate Communication, Anggi Siahaan.
The MCU program has been positively received by employees. Many expressed feeling more at ease knowing they could undergo thorough health examinations with proper facilities.
One employee, Saldi Wurdiyanto, appreciated the regular MCU conducted by the company. He emphasized that routine health screenings are essential for early disease detection.
“This MCU is very important because it allows for early anticipation of health issues. If there are problems, they can be prevented or treated from the start,” Saldi said.
Through its regular health screening program, PT Timah reaffirms its commitment to enhancing OHS practices while safeguarding employee well-being, ensuring a safe and productive work environment. (*)
