SHE Functions
EMP’s SHE mechanisms are designed to cement a culture of commitment to safe, healthy, and environmentally friendly practices which in turn enhance the business performance and sustainability of EMP’s operations. Reporting directly to the CEO, SHE collaborates with all business units to ensure compliance to SHE protocol and other applicable standards and regulations. SHE also facilitates the sharing of best practices, resources, and lessons learned between business units.
The SHE function coordinates the satisfactory and efficient implementation of risk management processes throughout business operations with regards to crisis management, business continuity planning, hazard identification, and risk assessment, implementation, and appropriate follow up.
SHE Performance
The SHE Excellence Function Teamimplements rigorous monitoring and tracking of SHE input, activities and audits. In addition to a SHE Management Tour of all operating units, aimed to reinforce positive SHE behaviour, EMP retained ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certification, and upheld the Ministry of Environment’s ‘blue’ PROPER rating for environmental compliance, received in 2006.
EMP takes no chances with safety and conducted full risk assessments regarding Job Safety Analysis for all operating units. Safety facilities and procedures tightened with the establishment of an Incident Management Plan, and all Corrective Action Requests were investigated and followedup. Attention to safety resulted in the achievement of 6 million man hours without a single lost time incident, for which EMP received an award of recognition from the Ministry of Labour.
In 2007, an Occupational Health Information System was established, and medical checkups carried out periodically for employees in all EMP Operating Units Feedback and advice were provided to maintain health and, if required, further check ups or hospitalization were recommended.
EMP is committed to safeguarding and supporting sustainable natural resources, and engages in environmental management and monitoring projects. In 2007, several environmentally-focused activities carried out around the shore and the mining area included the planting of 30,000 mangrove seeds in a mangrove break water project covering 160ha in the Malacca Shore area; a land nursery was maintained and re-cultivation of production facilities and re-greening continued at the Gebang, Semberah, Binangat, and Sambutan fields.
As part of EMP’s environmentallyminded approach to waste management, the Company cooperated with several institutions. In processing and destroying of hazardous waste, the Company cooperates with Sulianto Saroso hospital, Jakarta for medical waste, while other hazardous waste is sent to PPLi (Prasada Pamunah Limbah Industri), a company permitted for processing and destroying hazardous waste. Trials were conducted into phyto remediation and bioremediation of used drilling mud, contaminated soil, and used cooking oil. The trials were successful, and particular varieties of seaweed are being used to reduce levels of heavy metal from drilling mud and contaminated soil.
EMP manages all waste in complete compliance with Ministry of Environment regulations, and a new waste water treatment system and an oil catcher is being built at Baru, Bentu/Korinci. In the event of an unforeseen incident, EMP’s Environmental Response Teams, stationed in the Malacca Strait, Gebang, Semberah, Gelam, and Bentu/Korinci, are equipped to respond; they are also trained to respond to fire, pollution, and medical needs.
SHE excellence involves constant training and knowledge upgrades in order to growing and maintaining SHE standards in every step of production activity. EMP manages a comprehensive training regimen for its employees which, in 2007, covered working risk analysis, safety management, accident reporting and investigating, near-miss accident; first aid; hazardous waste management; waste water treatment; fire-fighting; sea survival; defensive and responsible driving; hazard communications, and ISRS7 – a world leading system for measuring, improving, and demonstrating safety, environmental, and business performance.

COMMUNITY RELATIONS
Located in often isolated areas across the Indonesian archipelago, EMP activily play roles in supporting government to improve social and economic condition of apprehensive community. For EMP, these communities are not only neighbors, but potential partners to be trained as local trained employees. And our communitycentric projects seek to develop sustainable skills, giving them opportunity to get educational opportunities, promote vocational and preserve and nurture the natural environment.
Participatory Rapid Community Appraisal
(PARCA)
PARCA is the application through which EMP evaluates community needs in terms of economic development, health, and education.
Internal and external workshops on Participatory Rapid Appraisal for Local Economic Advancement Action (PRA LEAd Action) were conducted to bring together EMP management and staff, community members and leaders, and government representatives to devise a united community development strategy to reduce social disruption and develop social welfare.
After indentifying local community needs and resources potential that is appropriate to be developed as small commercial industry to empower the community, PARCA initiated two microfinance centres for small businesses in the communities closest to EMP’s Malacca Strait operations. The centres, located in Merbau and Sei Apit, are run as independent communitybased funding institutions, managed by the community. A Local Community Assistance program supports rubber and sago farmers: two prominent commodities in the Sungai Apit and Merbau areas; local food sellers ( empek-empek Batanghari) in Gelam, Jambi received marketing support, and development assistance was given to pepper farmers in Semberah.
In 2007, quarterly medical treatment sessions were held by EMP, in conjunction with local health groups, for community members in Gelam and Malacca Strait, and annual mass circumcision events were held in Malacca Strait, Gelam, and Semberah for 152 children. A six month Nutritious Food for Infants program reached 828 local infants, and was conducted in cooperation with 17 local health centres.
Regarding community sanitation, EMP and local health departments are conducting preliminary studies into local community health in relation to sanitation facilities.
PARCA identified five programs to increase vocational competency and empowerment: two scholarship programs with the Bogor Agricultural Institute and the Academy of Midwifery, Pekanbaru for students immediately local to EMP operations; halfyearly performance-based scholarships for 104 students in Merbau, Tebing Tinggi and Sungai Apit; a youth entrepreneurship training program sending 25 local youths to Bandung, and an empowerment program for 35 women involving cookery classes.
In 2007 EMP supported infrastructure development through the construction of a new jetty in Mengkikip; road construction in Malacca Strait, Semberah, and Bentu/Korinci; assistance with mosque construction and rehabilitation, and through lending of heavy equipment support in the construction of public facilities in all EMP Operating Unit areas.
The success of PARCA and other social programs, EMP have endeavor Government to improve the quality of life and prosperity of the society sustainably, and overcome social disruption and create conducive atmoshphere in EMP operational area.
