UNS — Students of Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta again succeeded in making glorious achievements. This time, the distinguished achievement came from students of the Occupational Health and Safety (K3) Vocational School (SV) UNS Study Program. This team managed to bring home two championship titles in the 2022 Safety and Health Care Competition (STAYCATION), 1st place in the category Safety Induction and Netizen’s Choice in Safety Induction Category. The team consists of four students. They are Aryan Vishnu Raharjo, Dea Novita Ifanka Putri Fachilla, Aninda Nuzullatifah, and Amelia Fajrin. The team competes in the video safety induction category by taking the theme of ‘safety induction at public facilities’ since they observe the lack of safety induction at those places. This reasoning was revealed by Dea when contacted uns.ac.id, Tuesday (31/5/2022).
Tirtonadi Surakarta Bus Terminal has become their preferred public facility because there are several community components that must understand the K3 implementation aspects at the largest bus terminal in Surakarta City. Therefore, they consider that education on safety induction is important to do. In general, the safety induction video they created aims to convey the proper safety and health induction procedures in the bus terminal area. These procedures are made in a manner to facilitate workers’ and community’s understanding and help them to obey the procedure in their normal activity around the terminal. “For example, in the event of an emergency such as fire and earthquake that could occur at Tirtonadi Terminal. We also educate the community and workers in the Tirtonadi Terminal related to how to conduct evacuation procedures in the event of an emergency,” Dea said.
In the video, they also conveyed information related to some public facilities in the Tirtonadi Terminal environment both for bus passengers, workers, and others. Thus, this safety induction video also serves as a medium to introduce the Tirtonadi Surakarta Terminal to the wider community.
The UNS student team is grateful for their success in this competition. They did not expect for this accomplishment. Their gratitude goes to the parties who supported this success, one of which is Terminal Tirtonadi. The 2022 STAYCATION, the competition they participated in, was organized by the Occupational Health and Safety Study Program Student Association, Politeknik Ketenagakerjaan, to commemorate National Occupational Health and Safety Month. There are two categories available, namely safety induction videos and infographics competition. This event aims to nurture high school students’ creativity, university students, and the general public and to educate the wider community about the application of occupational health and safety in everyday life.
