CV Dipantara, a company committed to sustainable forest management, places health and safety as a top priority in all its operational activities. One of its key operations, tree harvesting, carries significant safety risks for workers.

To mitigate these risks, CV Dipantara mandates the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for all production partners during harvesting processes. The PPE provided by the company is tailored to each worker’s specific tasks, ensuring maximum protection as required.

PPE Standards for Harvesting

In general, CV Dipantara's production partners receive a PPE package that includes:

• Helmets to protect the head from impacts or falling objects.
• Work boots durable enough for field conditions.
• Gloves to safeguard hands during tasks.
• First aid kits for immediate response to minor injuries.

Additional PPE is supplied to workers with specialized roles:

• Climbers: Provided with safety harnesses to prevent falls from heights.
• Loggers: Equipped with goggles, masks, earplugs, and chainsaw-resistant safety clothing to protect against wood debris, dust, noise, and heavy machinery accidents.

Rigorous Safety Oversight

To ensure compliance with PPE usage, CV Dipantara assigns a Production Assistant Manager (Asman Produksi) to oversee all harvesting activities. This supervision ensures that PPE is used correctly by the production partners.

Monitoring results indicate that CV Dipantara and its production partners are adhering well to safety protocols. These measures not only protect workers but also underscore the company’s commitment to responsible and sustainable operations.

Through its PPE policy and strict monitoring, CV Dipantara demonstrates that productivity and safety can go hand in hand. This initiative serves as a practical example for the forest management industry to prioritize worker safety while maintaining environmental sustainability.
