The health and safety committee (P2K3 / Panitia Pembina Kesehatan dan Keselamatan Kerja) is an advisory committee to ensure a healthy and safe workplace and not as a body responsible for enforcing legislation. The committee recommends actions to management who has the authority to make changes to meet goals and objectives.
