MICT beefs up safety With reports from Paulo Peñalba
The Safety Office of the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) beefed up safety in ICTSI’s flagship operation through a series of seminars on port safety and health standards, earthquake preparedness, fire emergencies, and first aid / basic life support. Attended by key operations personnel, the seminars’ lectures were held at the training room of the Safety Office at the second floor of the CFS 1 Building, while drills were conducted at the delivery side of CFS 2. Aside from in-house trainers, the Safety Office invited speakers and experts from various government agencies involved in disaster risk reduction. In July, the earthquake preparedness seminar and training, fire emergencies lecture and drill and a first aid / basic life support seminar were conducted by the Office of Civil Defense – National Capital Region. Lecturers were Amy Daura
Gumboc of the Bureau of Fire Protection Special Response Unit, and Fire Officers Fernando Basada and Marvin Manolid. The Safety Office structured an earthquake simulator where an office environment was created using an open container. Participants were then placed inside the container, after which a reach stacker, simulating an earthquake movement, lifted and swayed the container. The movement recorded an intensity of seven to eight on the Richter scale. A team from the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC) evaluated the participants’
response to the simulation. The seminars and drills are in observance of the National Disaster Consciousness Month mandated under Executive Order No.137. In September and October, a port safety and health standards seminar was held discussing safety awareness inside container terminals, fundamentals of dangerous goods (IMDG), importance of personal protective equipment, fire safety and hazard identification and climate change. Trainers were Raffy Lauron, Operations Consultant, and Erwin Carreon, Operations Superintendent.

During the gathering, eco patrols shared their thoughts and learning experiences from the project, and the positive changes the project brought to their well-being, family and community. Key accomplishments of the PSWMP were: solid waste management seminars for 2,822 residents, waste analysis and characterization study on Parola solid wastes, regular garbage collection along South Access Road in coordination with the Manila Department of Public Service, social security for the eco patrols, and the creation of a Barangay Ecological Solid Waste Management Committee in accordance with Republic Act 9003. The Foundation also provided new sets of rubber boots, gloves and broomsticks to eco patrols whose assigned community gates are constantly flooded. On its second year, the PSWMP will intensify its information and education drive on waste segregation in households. This is expected to result in significant waste reduction and the identification of appropriate livelihood interventions to process solid waste.
