The rationale for this Minister of Labor and Transmigration Regulation, No. PER. 18/MEN/XI/2008, is to ensure greater protection within companies with regards to Occupational Health and Safety, particularly management systems. To ensure compliance and acceptable standards of implementation, the Regulation envisages that suitably qualified administrators will be appointed with a view to conducting audits.
All companies are required to have in place an integrated Occupational Health and Safety Management System that is to be assessed against performance bases criteria. This audit may only be completed by an administrator appointed by the Minister. The regulation then goes on to list the requirements for appointment.
The requirements for appointment include, among others, the following:
-
Incorporation under Indonesian law;
-
Hold an Indonesian business license and tax payer number;
-
Have central and regional offices;
-
Four senior external audit personnel and eight junior external auditors; and
-
Possess a work plan for the implementation of the audit.
For companies that seek an appointment as an Administrator they are first required to meet specific criteria, including:
-
Provide a copy of a Deed of Establishment of the company;
-
Provide a copy of the legalization documents;
-
Provide business licenses and taxpayer numbers;
-
Proof of ownership; and
-
Four colour photos of the head of the company.
The process should take 15 working days to complete. The verification of the application is listed to take 10 days and the time frame for the Minister to issue the requisite permit. Once issued an appointment is valid for three years.
The Regulation has been in force since 10 November 2008.
