Employee Welfare<br />
It is the aim of Indocement to ensure that employee welfare receives management<br />
attention <strong>and</strong> is regularly updated <strong>and</strong> improved from time to time. The year 2004<br />
witnessed the revision of Indocement’s Collective Labor Agreement, which became<br />
effective at the start of 2005. This forum, which is held every two years, serves as a<br />
means of discussing employee welfare covering benefits <strong>and</strong> allowances. Over the<br />
years, Indocement has had an excellent relationship with its labor union whereby<br />
both parties have always coexisted in a mutually beneficial manner.<br />
With the progress of Quantum Challenge, Indocement continues to benchmark its<br />
human resources aspects such as performance <strong>and</strong> pay scales with those of the<br />
cement industry.<br />
Safety <strong>and</strong> Health<br />
Indocement has always placed safety <strong>and</strong> health issues as key priorities by<br />
providing safe <strong>and</strong> healthy working environment. However, risk of injuries <strong>and</strong><br />
accidents is an inherent part of a massive industrial undertaking such as cement<br />
manufacturing. Indocement has been able to minimize the number of accidents<br />
by employing rigorous occupational health <strong>and</strong> safety st<strong>and</strong>ards in line with<br />
international best practices. In 2004, Indocement did not experience major<br />
incidents that resulted in fatalities.<br />
“Key Performance Indicators have been identifi ed <strong>and</strong> agreed<br />
upon, forming the basis on which the performance of every<br />
individual can be measured against.”<br />
On 24 September 2004, Indocement’s cement production facilities at Citeureup,<br />
Cirebon <strong>and</strong> Tarjun factories received the OHSAS 18001 Certification for the<br />
implementation of Occupational Health & Safety Assessment Series.<br />
