Bandar Lampung, August 21, 2026 – PT United Tractors Tbk (UT) Lampung Branch continues to support the strengthening of the “link and match” between vocational education and the needs of the business and industrial sectors (DUDI). This effort is realized through the “Industry Guest Teacher” program at SMKN 1 Tegineneng and SMK KP Gajah Mada, Kota Metro, which equips students with an understanding of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS/K3) and work culture in preparation for entering the industrial world.
Serving as a speaker, UT Lampung ESR Officer Husnul Khusnaini emphasized the importance of building a safety mindset among students while they are still in school. According to her, the implementation of OHS should not merely be understood as a set of rules; rather, it needs to become a habit consistently applied in daily activities.
“Good work is not just work that gets finished, but work performed correctly, safely, with discipline, and in accordance with procedures. Understanding OHS must not be limited to theory or written rules; it must become a culture and a daily habit for prospective vocational graduates. Implementing OHS serves not only to protect oneself but also to safeguard colleagues and support efficiency and productivity within the industrial environment,” said Husnul Khusnaini.
The first series of activities took place at SMKN 1 Tegineneng on August 18, 2026, attended by all 10th- and 11th-grade students from the Light Vehicle Engineering (TKR) program. The event featured two speakers from UT (Husnul Khusnaini and Chairul Anwar) and received support from the Principal of SMKN 1 Tegineneng, Junaina, S.Pd., M.Pd.; the Program Head, Nurul Huda, S.T., M.Pd.; and the Deputy Principal for Public Relations, Misbah, M.Pd.I.
Subsequently, the “Industry Guest Teacher” program was held at SMK KP Gajah Mada, Kota Metro, on August 21, 2026. The event, which took place in the school hall, was attended by students, the school principal, and the teaching staff. On this occasion, Husnul Khusnaini returned as a guest speaker to present material on the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) in the industrial sector.
As part of the event series, UT provided training on OHS implementation, covering hazard identification, the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), first aid procedures, and adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) within industrial settings, specifically in the heavy equipment and manufacturing sectors.
In addition to workplace safety training, the program included sessions on work culture, an introduction to UT School, and interactive discussions. Through these sessions, students gained insights into the importance of discipline, communication, teamwork, SOP compliance, and a professional work ethic. They also obtained a practical overview of OHS implementation and industrial work culture, serving as preparation for their Field Work Practices (PKL) and their eventual entry into the workforce.
Through the “Industry Guest Teacher” program, UT hopes that its synergy with vocational education institutions will continue to foster learning experiences that are contextual and aligned with industry needs. This collaboration aims to help students develop technical competencies while cultivating safety awareness, discipline, and a professional work culture, which are essential assets for either pursuing further education or entering the workforce.
