Prevent STIs, BPI Held Socialization
Batang (1/2) - PT Bhimasena Power Indonesia (BPI) held a socialization on Sexually Transmitted Infectious Diseases (STI) and disease vectors for contractor workers in the BPI environment, on Wednesday (1/2). The activities carried out at the Central Java CFPP 2 x 1.000 MW site are part of a series of activities to commemorate the 2017 National K3 (Occupational Safety and Health) month.
The socialization which was attended by 130 participants from BPI contractor personnel was also attended directly by the BPI CTO, Hiroyasu Akaike. In his speech, he hoped that this activity could increase understanding and raise awareness of workers about infectious diseases. "The most important part is prevention, so we can anticipate it early and know the controls," he said.
Akaike also appreciates the good cooperation between BPI and the Government in this case the Batang Health Service and the Indonesian Family Planning Association (PKBI) in organizing the socialization.
The socialization material was delivered by the Head of P2M Health Office of Batang Farikhun Asror. SKM, M Kes, Head of P2P Health Office of Batang Regency, dr. Any Rusydiani and Mestri Widodo from BIMA SEMBADA PKBI Central Java and Dwi Yunanto Hermawan, also from PKBI Central Java.
In the socialization, it was conveyed the importance of public awareness of the dangers of STIs and disease vectors. Currently, public awareness is still considered low, while sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are increasing with the prevalence affecting all levels of society. Previously, STI was often found in urban areas, although now it is starting to spread to rural areas. Overcoming this, of course, requires active participation from the community.
"This activity is a form of BPI's commitment to support the national movement to cultivate HSE," said Akaike. He also hopes that a good understanding and increased awareness of STIs will be able to improve the quality of human life towards a safe, healthy and productive society.
In a series of activities to commemorate the Health and Safety month, BPI has carried out various activities including socialization of STIs and blood donation. The series of activities will be attended by BPI employees and workers from all contractors involved in the Central Java CFPP project.
