JAKARTA - Preparing the competence of Indonesian human resources (HR) so that they can be competitive is important, without exception for School Students to Prevent Vocational (SMK).

To support the improvement of human resources, PT Daikin Airconditioning Indonesia holds Health, Work Safety and Environment (K3LH) training.

Thus, expanding and increasing awareness on work safety and environmental sustainability.

"Compared with the technical competencies it has, the safety of work and attention to preserve the environment is an absolute completeness that must be owned by current air management experts," said Adikusumo Rustam, Manager of PT Daikin Airconditioning Indonesia when opening this training at SMKN 29 Jakarta, Monday, April 21.

K3LH does not only refer to the high risk that is in the work related to air management devices from the use of electronic components and the installation of air conditioning at high or above positions.

However, work safety and environmental attention are closely related to the use of gas such as the refrigerator which is a component that supports AC's work in cooling the room.

In the work safety department, for example, the lack of knowledge or neglect of procedures related to the use of gas including reshuffle can trigger work accidents and even include the possibility of unitary fires that trigger greater danger.

Meanwhile, in terms of environmental sustainability, improper referral handling procedures such as releasing them directly into the air can trigger the dangers of climate change.

The magnitude of the impact that might arise from making a profession as an air management expert on its various parts is not a simple job. This awareness of this is what we then try to do through simultaneous training at SMK as a vocational education institution to complement students' technical competencies," said Adikusumo again.

In training, it does not only provide insight into handling procedures for work safety. But also the introduction of a refrigerant recovery which is part of the company's green initiative so as not to release the refrigerator directly into the free air.

Furthermore, related to training related to work safety and concern for environmental sustainability, Adikusumo stated that his party has prepared an agenda to expand its scope to other SMKs which will run simultaneously throughout the year.

"This training is part of DAIKIN's real efforts in increasing work safety awareness which at the same time reduces the environmental impact. Through its implementation, we hope to transmit it to more vocational students as prospective Indonesian air management experts in the future," said Adikusumo.
