Emergency In Building And Floor Warden

Emergencies can occur in the building!

Some things to do when an emergency occurs in a building:

- Provide information about dangerous conditions and who is still in the building to the Building Coordinator

- Direct occupants to carry out the Evacuation Process by leaving the scene via the nearest emergency exit and evacuation route

- Prevent individuals from using elevators during evacuation

- Guide individuals to designated gathering areas

- Extinguish the fire if a fire occurs

- Prevent individuals from re-entering the building until conditions are deemed safe

- Providing first aid to victims who need it

- Ensure that Emergency and Safety Procedures are carried out

The above things are usually done by the Floor / Fire Warden.

Who Is the Floor Warden / Fire Warden?

A Floor Warden, also sometimes called a Fire Warden, is someone responsible for the safety of a specific area, typically a floor in a building, during an emergency. They are especially important in fire emergencies but may also be involved in other situations like floods or medical emergencies. They are the first line of defense in an evacuation and their calm leadership can make a big difference.

Here are some of the key things Floor Wardens do:

* Before an emergency:

- Floor Wardens should be familiar with the Emergency Evacuation Plan for their building and their specific floor

- Floor Wardens should also know the location of fire exits, fire extinguishers, and first-aid kits

- Floor Wardens should be responsible for helping to keep exits clear

- Floor Wardens should educate occupants on Safety Procedures

* During an emergency:

- When an emergency alarm sounds, Floor Wardens are responsible for ensuring that everyone on their floor conducts the Evacuation Process safely

- Floor Wardens should help people with disabilities

- Floor Wardens should make sure everyone knows where to go

- Floor Wardens should do a headcount to ensure no one is left behind

- Floor Wardens should keep people safe during emergencies

- Floor Wardens should report the status of the evacuation to a designated leader

The knowledge the Floor Wardens should know:

- Basic HSE related to fire prevention in the building

- Fire theory and anatomy

- Flammable/explosive materials in the building

- Common fire hazards in the building

- Precautionary principle

- Basic use of fire extinguishers

- Fire extinguishing techniques

- Passive and Active Protection Systems

- Evacuation Process: Exits, corridors, stairs, helipad, muster points

- Actions to take during earthquakes, bomb threats, and flood events

Are you ready to work as the Floor Warden?

Plug And Abandonment In Drilling

The "Plug and Abandonment / P&A" Process refers to the temporary and permanent process to close the oil and gas wells.

The difference between temporary and permanent P&A Process:

Temporary P&A Process:

- Occurs when there is an intention to re-enter the well at a later date (usually within months) or is done for maintenance or other reasons

- The temporary P&A Process is carried out by closing the well and removing the well control equipment. Pressure monitoring at the wellhead remains possible during this period.

Permanent P&A Process:

- Occurs when there is no intention to re-enter the well hole, the well must be abandoned forever because the well is no longer productive and is no longer economically viable

- The permanent P&A Process is performed by installing a barrier (such as a cement plug) to isolate the formations from each other and the surface, and the well control equipment is permanently removed

Some other important things to do:

- Before starting the P&A Process, the well must be thoroughly evaluated

- Proper cement must be used to restore the well to its original condition

- The above process must comply with ongoing Safety and Environmental Regulations

The above procedures may vary based on company policy and specific well conditions.

The knowledge needed to conduct the P&A Process:

- Human factors

- Well abandonment integrity

- Governing principles, techniques, and processes of well abandonment

- Risks and their issues

- Principles of well barriers

- Principles of barrier verification and testing

- Local legislative procedures

- Mitigation

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Is Very Important: Learning From PT Ceria Nugraha Indotama

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a program by companies to be socially responsible to the community and environment around them. Companies must collaborate with the surrounding community to protect the environment and improve the welfare of that community.

CSR is the most important thing for companies because CSR can:

- Build and increase corporate responsibility to the surrounding community and environment by helping to handle social problems that occur

- Make the company increasingly appreciate the community and environment around it

- Improve the reputation of the company

- Build and grow trust from investors and customers in the company

Several actions that companies can conduct to carry out CSR:

- Protect the surrounding environment from impacts and pollution

- Manage waste responsibly

- Support and develop the surrounding community

- Provide a place to work and do business for the surrounding community

- Provide investment in education, health services, and economic development for the surrounding community

CSR Program In PT Ceria Nugraha Indotama

I got all the above knowledge about CSR from some companies that I worked at in the past. Right now, I can see it also at PT Ceria Nugraha Indotama (Ceria).

When I came to the Indonesia Critical Mineral Conference 2024, I had a great discussion with Billyandri Herfiantara - Corporate Communication Officer from Ceria. Ceria was one of the main sponsors at the conference.

During the interesting conversation, Billyandri provided information that in its CSR Program, Ceria has collaborated with several MSMEs in Kolaka, Southeast Sulawesi. Ceria treats these MSMEs as "Partners" built by Ceria.

Some of the MSMEs built by Ceria produce:

- Mawar Banana Chips

- Trigona Honey made by stingless bees at Sarfa Bee Farm

Other MSMEs that are also built by Ceria are MSMEs that make furniture products made from wood. Some of the products they make are:

 - Table

 - Tray

 - Cabinet

 - Bookshelf

 - Rack

 - Frame

 - Door

The CSR that has been carried out by Ceria has given Ceria the strength to continue working while also providing benefits to the surrounding community and environment.

The lesson we can learn is:

"The Best Companies always implement the Best CSR which provides the Best Benefits to the surrounding community and environment."
