BATURAJA – Still in order to commemorate the 2025 National Occupational Safety and Health (K3) Month, PT Semen Baturaja Tbk (SMBR) as a subsidiary of PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG) held a blood donation event in three operational locations, namely in Baturaja, Palembang and Panjang.

This blood donation event was held in collaboration with the local Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) including PMI OKU Regency, Palembang City, and Lampung, which was attended by employees and work partners. The blood donation activities in Baturaja and Palembang were held on Wednesday (22/01), while in Panjang on Friday (24/01).

In this blood donation activity, 120 bags were collected. This activity was also attended by President Director Suherman Yahya and Director of Operations Muhammad Syafitri, who also provided support and appreciation to the blood donor participants in Baturaja.

Blood donation is a routine company program held every National K3 Month Activity. Senior Manager of Health, Safety & Environment SMBR Meriadi said that this activity is one of the company’s real steps in encouraging a culture of caring for others in the work environment.

“This activity is real evidence of Semen Baturaja’s concern for the community as well as the company’s contribution in supporting the government’s program to maintain blood availability at PMI. In addition, this activity also reflects the spirit of mutual cooperation and the company’s social responsibility in improving the quality of health together,” said Meriadi.

In addition to blood donation, SMBR has also held various activities in the National K3 Month series, including the Safety Photography Competition, Scaffolding Installation-Dismantling Competition, Safety Rescue Competition, First Aid Kit Filling Competition, and Ranking 1 Competition. This series of activities will later be closed with a Seminar as part of the company’s efforts to create a healthy and productive work environment.

One of the donors, Musep Priana, admitted that he was very enthusiastic about participating in this blood donation activity. “At first I was hesitant to donate blood, but after the medical team explained the benefits, I became more confident. It turned out that the process was also fast and not as painful as I imagined. It feels good to be able to share with others,” he said. (*)
