PT. Torishima Guna Indonesia as a manufacturer of centrifugal pumps in Indonesia has implemented standards of integrated management system, including in terms of Quality (QMS) which implements ISO 9001:2015, in terms of Environment / EMS applies ISO 14001:2015, and also the latest , the implementation of OHS / OHSMS with ISO 45001: 2018, which in 2019 has been implemented as an upgrade from OHSAS 18001 as the only SMK3 standard that applies internationally.

There is a fundamental difference between ISO 45001 and OHSAS 18001. Structurally, the ISO 45001 system aims to facilitate the process of implementing and integrating several other management systems so that they can be integrated efficiently and systematically. Then there is Organizational Context which considers the OHS aspect as an impact not only on workers but also on the wider community, namely the surrounding community. ISO 45001 demands the incorporation of occupational health and safety aspects in the overall management system of the organization, thereby encouraging top management and other departments besides the department.
OHS, to have a strong leadership role in the OHS management system. ISO 45001 also requires organizations to take into account how suppliers and contractors manage their risks.

In May 2021, PT. Torishima Guna Indonesia has carried out the ISO 45001:2018 Surveillance Audit. Among the principles that must be considered is the Organization must identify and know related issues involving K3 as the impact of business integrity and become the basis for continuous improvement to be implemented. Organizations are also required to comply with applicable regulations related to OSH, both state and city government regulations, for example by conducting regular monitoring of work areas in terms of physics, chemistry, and biology. Monitoring of noise, lighting, ISBB and vibration. To certify operators and production and utility equipment such as Crane certification in the form of SILO (Operation Proper License) and Operators who use the Crane in the form of SIO (Operator Permit).

PT. Torishima Guna Indonesia as a Manufacturing that involves a lathe / machining process has a variety of lathes, for this reason, PTP (Production Power Plane) certification must also be carried out

As supporting material transportation, we also use forklifts to facilitate material mobilization and we are committed to training certified forklift users/drivers before using them.

ISO 45001 takes a systematic and comprehensive approach to occupational safety & health. This is the answer to the question of how to prevent work accidents that occur continuously. Occupational Health and Safety is Important and a Shared Responsibility. As a form of management’s commitment to the implementation of ISO 45001:2018, we carry out an annual Management Review of all aspects of interest and risks that are integrated with the OHS & environmental system.

90% of pump failures occur due to a mistake in choosing the right pump. A lot of money, time and effort are wasted as a result of using a pump that is not at its optimal capacity. Let’s take a look at why choosing the right pump is important?

The pump function is basically moves fluids by mechanical action, typically converted from electrical energy into hydraulic energy, but that does not mean that all pumps can be used in every application. So if we choose a pump only from its function it is certainly not correct. Especially if the function is based on wanting to get cheaper costs.

We understand that every business has a tight budget for any unnecessary expenses. But in the long run, choosing the right pump will actually provide a number of benefits, including:

• Security

With the right pump, we guarantee there won’t be any leaks.

• Maintenance

If we choose an unsuitable pump, valves, impellers and other components of the pump will fail because they are used for applications that were not designed for that. This of course will incur significant costs for repairs through replacement and maintenance of spare parts. Choosing the right pump will also limit the amount of maintenance required and hence reduce costs in the long run.

• Efficiency

By choosing the right pump, we will have a big advantage in terms of efficiency. It will pump a larger volume of fluid and faster. This will certainly complete the work on time, which will further reduce costs. In addition, efficiency also results in reduced energy use. With the right pump, we will reduce operating costs.

And what are the failures that result from the wrong choice of an improper pump:

1. The pump is made of a material designed to handle fluids and is used to transport abrasive or corrosive substances. This means the pump is in a hard conditionthat is over production limits. The result? Failures and leaks.
2. .NPSH was not properly selected before installation. NPSH is used to measure the possibility of cavitation caused by flashing (evaporation). Again, this occurs when the pump asked to handle a higher suction lift that was not designed for it.
3. Incorrect evaluation of the best efficiency point (BEP). The best efficiency point will provide the ideal parameters for getting the best out of the pump.If this is exceeded, problems such as cavitation will occur.
4. Significant environmental changes. This occurs when the source / material being pumped is not what it was intended for. If the pump is not designed for that particular use, failure will occur.
5. Installation of low-quality pumps also causes premature failure and other problems.
6. Likewise, due to budget constraints, we sometimes prefer the cheapest option. But if the cheapest option is not designed for a specific use of the pump, then failure will occur.
7. In other cases some users may be familiar with a particular type of pump and therefore use the same model throughout the work unit. However, if the pump was asked to handle different materials at different pressures and flow rates, it would not work.

An article in Safety & Health magazine said, every day more than a thousand eye injuries occur at work. Eye injuries result in medical costs of more than $ 3 million annually. Not to mention other impacts that result in decreased or hampered production and compensation costs that must be incurred on workers.

Ironically it should not have happened. Because the use of protective glasses can prevent up to 90% of potential accidents to the eye. However, because lack of awareness of workers who make use of eye protection equipment is often ignored. Therefore, it is very important for all parties to keep reminding why wearing eye protection is very important in the workplace. This is intended to prevent eye injuries.

What kinds of job can be happened to eye hazard?

1. Work hammering, sculpting, grinding, wood-related work, or similar activities that produce small chips or particles that fly in the air and might get to your eyes
2. Work spraying, painting, metal related work, sanding, spot welding, or work that produces smoke, dust, or small particles that affect the surrounding air.
3. The work of welding electricity, cutting with fire, working with a furnace or work done in a place near thermal energy or energy
4. Work in handling acids, hot metal casting, which produces steam, gas, liquid, or spark

If you work in one of the field, make sure you wear protective glasses. That way, the potential danger can be minimized and the eye injures that are often caused by negligence of workers not need to happen again.

PT Torishima Guna Indonesia’s Steps Against Worker’s Eye Safety

We take steps to make the work environment as safe as possible for the eyes of workers. The following steps are taken:

1. Conduct an assessment of potential eye hazards in the workplace
2. Reducing the potential danger to the worker’s eyes
3. Provide appropriate protective goggles that are needed by employees
