The Danger of Smoking in Vehicles Smoking in vehicles can be very dangerous not only for the driver and the passengers that inhale the smoke, but also for other road users since the driver may lose control when he/she lights or puts off the cigarette. With regard to that, many countries and companies in the world prohibit smoking in operational vehicle. Although the driver rolls down the windows or uses air conditioned to reduce the smoke, exposure to other passengers in the vehicle remains.
HEADLINE "We Have to Operate Differently"
M
ining world is facing a gloomy period. The fall of commodity prices and the rise of production costs are believed to be the basic causes. Some world-class mining companies try to seek a way to cope with the current condition. Companies, such as BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Exsrata-including Newmont-also face such situation. Newmont Indonesia Country Manager Blake Rhodes said it during the familiariza-
tion of Value Enhancement Initiative titled Harmony for Prosperity at the Community Hall, Townsite (14/11). Newmont Corporation has reviewed its cost structures thoroughly in all its operations to improve efficiency and effectiveness, including PTNNT. Blake said for PTNNT, the management has made a comprehensive review on general and administration costs, operational costs, capital costs and support costs as well as efficiency in all sections. The review is made for the 2013 budget and PTNNT has reduced its expenditures by $54 million, from $950 million to $896 million and will proceed with the efficiency measures. Operational costs in 2012 were $300 million higher than that of 2007. “Thus, the condition is very ironic, when the cost is increasing, PTNNT's copper production is decreasing,” said Blake. Blake also explained the efficiency efforts taken, including redundancy of expatriate, staff and non-staff employees that is currently underway. The objective of the policy is to keep Batu Hijau copper mining company operate as long as possible. “We have to change to survive. We have to be courageous to operate in a different way,” said Blake.
With cost pressures and continuous efforts to reduce cost in all sections, PTNNT wants to ensure competitive compensation in 2014. PTNNT recognizes the importance of employees and tries to negotiate with the unions competitive compensation for the employees. In answering one of employee's questions on the company's current condition, Blake said that PTNNT is not bankrupt. Efforts have been made to overcome this condition including taking loan from banking syndication. “Our company is financially strong and gains support of the shareholders. We have sufficient resources to run our business. Yet we all have to participate and give contribution to ensure the continuation of the company's long-term operations. Therefore, each person has to participate in controlling costs. Spend responsibly,” he said. These efforts, Blake added, will ensure harmony with the community, employees and their family, government, labor unions and the management for our sustainable welfare to the future for both the stakeholders and shareholders.

Zainul Majdi MA in Mataram, Thurs. (16/10). The facilities are worth a total of Rp61.25 billion, built with a dedicated fund for community development and empowerment programs worth US$38 million since 2010.

egal services in Ropang sub-district will come soon. PT New mont Nusa Tenggara (PTNNT) through its 2011 strategic projects has kicked off the phase one construction of the police office of the sub-district located within the exploration area. The construction of the two-story building was marked by the groundbreaking by the Sumbawa Regency Police Chief AKBP Yayan Hartadi SIP and External Relations Manager for Project Elang Explorations Kasan Mulyono on 24 May in Ropang village, Ropang. Infrastructure Reps. of Community Development PTNNT Amran Herlambang ST said the office construction costs Rp907.3 million. The budget comes from the exploration budget. “We estimate the construction to be completed by end of year,” said Amran, an ITN Malang graduate. “The construction of 220 meter square building is carried out by CV Remben Takan, a contractor from Lebangkar village. This is a manifestation of local entrepreneur empowerment,” said he. In addition to Ropang police office, PTNNT plans to build another police office in Sumbawa city. The land is located in the middle of the city in Simpang Sernu. “According to the plan, the construction of the city police office with the same design as that in Ropang will kick off this year,” said Amran.
YOP Develops Strategic Plan
T
o date, Yayasan Olat Parigi (YOP) has for eleven years carried out commu nity capacity building and provided service access to West Sumbawa people. It is now the time for the YOP to exercise introspection by evaluating its performance and developing strategic and tactical plans for the next five years. “Therefore, collaboration off all components in YOP is necessary to ensure all aspects are worked thoroughly. Independent facilitators that are expert in planning and development are also necessary. “In this regard, we collaborate with an independent training agency named Transform of Mataram,” said Senior Supervisor Business Development Comdev Syamsul Bakhri after attending training on YOP strategic plan preparation at Lesehan Bu Diah, Maluk (9/ 10). He asserted the first thing to do with Transform is to assess YOP thoroughly. The assessment was made last February. All components, staffs, executives and facilitators at YOP were actively involved in the Organizational Capacity Assessment (OCA). Six fields assessed include institution
management, programs, human resources, finance, partnership, and documentation. The outcome -at 1 to 5 scale- is 2.5 in average. “This means there is still a gap between the current condition and the ideal condition to achieve,” said Syamsul. In order for YOP to operate as expected and to be self-financed and not to keep relying on PTNNT, two pillars have to be implemented: YOP as an empowerment [agency] and YOP as a profit oriented institution.
“Thus, four sectors are to be focused including micro finance, packaged drinking water, employee cooperative and sugar palm production,” said he. Suyono, Director Transform Mataram, asserted that as an institution, YOP has to continue to exist since its position in the community cannot be replaced. “To some extent YOP has contributed to community development in West Sumbawa. The five years strategic plan is necessary to manage YOP better in the future,” said he.

ccupational Safety and Health culture has become a pillar in improving safety and health at the workplace. How to develop such concept? To date, it is still a challenge for PTNNT and other Newmont sites. One of the solutions was to form a Safety Task Force (STF) Team in 2010. The team then comes with a new strategic called My Safety Journey (MSJ). “MSJ is the chief strategy in encouraging employees to understand the importance of safety as a culture and part of each individual. The program requires all employees participate actively and identify necessary behaviors to minimize serious injury and fatality,” said Sunarto Suwito, Senior Manager Safety Task Force PTNNT, after MSJ training for Supervisors at Krakatau room, Townsite (25/9). To bring safe working culture down to earth, Sunarto calls on all parties' involvement. In a small team, employees are required to show commitment to working safely and ensuring the team members to do so. “Thus we can make changes at this site,” said he. Sunarto admitted that it is not easy to change someone to a new person since it all relates with awareness and habit. Yet, with several approaches and programs designed by STF team, Sunarto believes awareness on

the importance of work safety will become the part of each employee. One of the approaches is a role model in safety. For example, the Transportation Department is one among 14 departments with relatively high potential for accidents. In a small team, they develop a safe culture through leadership approach (role model in
safety) and other related programs, such as Safety Leadership Behavior, supervision improvement, and remove themselves and others out of an accident waiting list. “For the program, we hold one-day training for groups working in high risk area,s and two-day training for staff and supervisor level,” said he.

R
eef is a series of hard and solid structure under or at water surface while coral is marine organism that is capable of absorbing lime from the seawater and settles it to form lime stack. The removal of young coral colonis for construction materials, catching coral fish with cyanide and bomb, and disposal of garbage to the sea may damage the coral reefs. PTNNT is committed to conserving the coral reefs around Sumbawa and East Lombok waters. One of the methods is to transplant the coral and make artificial reef.
Sr Supv Env Compliance M. Teguh Budiman disclosed it during Coral Transplantation Training for student of SMA Labuhan Haji and SMK Keruak at Padang Lamun, Labuhan Haji (26/9). During one of the CUD 2012 activities, the students were trained to carry out coral transplantation by planting live coral on cement containers and placing it on the seabed. “Its function is to accelerate the regeneration of damaged coral reef, build new coral reef area and increase population,” said he.

NEWMONT NEWS Best Farmer Lauds Newmont’s role in Promoting Agriculture
M
r Akwasi Asamoah, the 2011 National Best Plantain Farmer, has commended Newmont Ghana for complementing Government’s efforts towards the promotion of agriculture in the country. He said he had chalked successes through the cultivation of cocoa, plantain cassava through the assistance of the mining company. Speaking in an interview on Friday, he said, before his association with Newmont Ghana he took farming as a hobby but with the support of the company he now runs his farm as a full commercial entity. Mr. Asamoah specifically cited the Agricultural Improvement and Land Access Programmme (AILAP), a postresettlement mitigation programmme meant to assist farmers directly impacted by the development of the Ahafo Mine, to re-establish their agricultural livelihoods as one programme that had transformed his life. He said the activities earmarked under the AILAP programme was beneficial to the over 5,000 farmers currently working with the programme. The AILAP programme, he said, assisted the farmers’ right from the acquisition of land, planting to harvesting. Farmers on the AILAP programmme have been compensated for lands, which fall within Newmont’s mine take area. The programme was first implemented in 2006 to assist farmers, who had already been paid their due compensation to gain access to alternative farm lands and receive adequate training for abundant and higher quality yields. Newmont established AILAP to increase crop production, promote crop diversity, technology adoption, market access, which existed prior to the start of the Ahafo Mine operations through facilitating access to land, provision of free farm inputs, farmer motivation and improved extension services.
“With the help of the AILAP programme my target is to become the overall best national farmer in two years,” Mr Asamoah. He urged the government to invest part of revenue generated from nonrenewable natural resources into sectors such as agriculture to boost the economy. “We should invest part of the revenues from the non-renewable resources in the renewable components of industry, of agriculture, of tourism so
that we better empower the economy in the event that mining industry cannot contribute to development anymore,” he said. He said the AILAP programme showed the importance Newmont attached to the agricultural sector in the country and pledged his commitment to continue to count on the mining giant for support and direction. Mr. Asamoah urged the youth to venture into farming as their contribution towards national development.
Newmont Challenges Sulawesi Mercury Pollution Claim Buyat Bay
G
old miner Newmont has rejected an accusation that it was in volved in the dumping of tailings at a mine project in North Sulawesi. In an investigative report on Monday, the Jakarta Globe described as Indonesia's worst case of mercury poisoning a 2004 incident at Buyat Bay, saying Newmont Nusa Tenggara was responsible. Gold mining in the area was instead conducted by Newmont Minahasa Raya, a sibling company of NNT. Both are local subsidiaries of US mining giant Newmont. In a letter to the Jakarta Globe, Ruby Purnomo, head of corporate communications, denied the company had been responsible for any mercury poisoning in the area, pointing to decisions by the Manado District Court in 2007 that cleared the company of any wrongdoing.
“The decision was reinforced by the Supreme Court's ruling on 6 January 2009, confirming the allegations of pollution had no basis in fact,” he said. Ruby also said that studies conducted by the government, independent agencies and experts have “confirmed that there was no environmental pollution or damage caused by tailings at Buyat Bay.” In 2006, NMR and the government signed a Goodwill Agreement to establish an independent scientific panel tasked with monitoring environmental conditions of the bay until 2016. The panel has produced yearly studies covering issues including health, environmental geochemistry and marine ecology, Ruby said, adding that the studies had confirmed that “the tailings have caused no adverse impacts to water, fish or people.”

The sound of the tent struck by the heavy wind did not affect our sleep. At thirty past two a.m., the alarm went off reminding us to be ready for the summit (3726). With the light on our heads and at our hands, the eleven of us (one chose to stay at the tent) followed the sandy path, up and steep. We advanced two steps forward but moved back one step. We dragged our feet, slowly but surely amid the temperature of approximately 6 degree Celsius. When the Italian foreigners failed to continue their journey, we kept moving slowly accompanied by one porter. The wind and thick fog reduced our visibility to five meters only. This also created fine snow on our trembling cheeks. About six o'clock in the morning, the weather was clear and we took the time for morning prayers, but a few moments later, thick and cold fog came again. Only edelweiss around us comforted our determined journey. Finally, after taking a rest while sharing foods and drinks, we hurried up to the top. We cried emotionally. Our exhaustion was paid and we enjoyed our happiness and proud. Despite of we could not enjoy the scenery because the cloud covered it, we acted playfully and took pictures while rolling off a sponsor banner. It was about 08.23 and after one hour, we decided to climb down. The weather was good that the stony and sandy path could be clearly seen. The journey was rather quicker for we took the slope down and used our knee as the support. We arrived at the campsite around one p.m. and had lunch, fruits etc. there. At three o'clock in the afternoon, we packed up the tent and logistics and continued our journey home. ď ľ

You have to be careful in any situation and environment, at home or at workplace. “To be safe, don't do thing unnecessarily,” said Risdianto, PTNNT Electrician Power, during the interview after checking one of the towers at kilometer three PAR. The father of two sons admits he is lucky to work for PTNNT for it brings improvement to his life. “I am grateful so I work to my best,” said the alumnus of SMA Muhammadiyah Mataram (1996). Anto, his nickname was born and went to primary school at his father's place of origin in Tanjung, Labuhan Haji, East Lombok but continued to junior high school in Jereweh, West Smbawa, his mother's village of origin. He went to SMA in Mataram living with his aunt. “My parents got divorced when I was in
junior high school. That is the reason I moved from one place and school to another. I did not have enough money to continue my study at the university although I really wanted to,” said the automotive and touring hobbyist who once wanted to be a civil servant. With a simple life, after graduating from senior high school, Anto worked as a clerk in an Islamic school built by his family in Central Lombok until his mother called him for a vacancy in PTNNT in 1997. “I moved back to Jereweh and applied to PTNNT. One month later, I was called for training,” said he. Risdianto was promoted as employee in 1999 and placed at the infrastructure section. In July 2000, Anto was moved to Power Plant in accordance with his skills obtained from the training. “I took electricity field because I thought my skills can also be applied at home,” said he.
Now Anto is assigned to ensure all company electrical lines are in safe condition, transformer maintenance etc. “The electrical lines are like the arteries of the company. When it is disturbed, the company's operation is also disturbed. Therefore, we often make extra work, days and nights. We are ready to handle any disturbance,” said he. Bearing in mind the risk of his work, Anto hopes the company pay more attention to the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in terms of both the quantity and quality. “The technology now is getting more sophisticated, therefore the safety equipment has also to be up to date,” said he. During his service, Anto said he found some hazardous condition. When he was fixing an automatic switch, the connection was wrong and it exploded burning his gloves. “Fortunately, I wore complete PPE that I did not sustain any injury,” he recalled.
