Tambang magazine named PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (PTNNT) operation as "The Best Mining Company for Health and Safety" in Indonesia for the outstanding occupational, health and safety (OHS) programs and performance.
Previously, the Indonesia Department of Energy and Mineral Resources presented our mine with its Aditama Award for the same OHS program. With several thousand employees, PTNNT is recognized as one of the largest mining companies with the best safety performance in not only Indonesia, but also the world.
For example, to protect the welfare of our employees and the nearby community, we installed 10 tsunami-warning sirens near beaches and villages surrounding our mine, since the coastal area is prone to tsunami threats. In 1977, the southern region of Sumbawa Island was hit by a tsunami, which left many casualties. The sirens have a hearing radius of one to two miles (1,500 to 3,400 meters), and are connected to a central control system operated by mine security.
