Overview

Indonesia’s Ministry of Manpower (“Ministry”), working in cooperation with the International Labor Organization (“ILO”), recently issued a new document on the National Program on Occupational Health and Safety (Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja – “K3”) for 2024 - 2029 (“K3 Program Document”). The introduction of the National K3 Program demonstrates a collective commitment that will require collaborative actions between ministries, state agencies and all stakeholders who have an interest in the improved implementation of K3 at the national level. The core objective of the document is to establish a better and more sustainable K3 implementation system at the national level in order to reduce the number of work accidents to at least 10% of the 298,137 such accidents that were recorded during 2022.[1]
