T
he Jakarta administration has urged businesses to cooperate during the implementation of large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) as authorities raise concerns over the limited number of supervisory officials available to oversee them.
Jakarta Manpower, Transmigration and Energy Agency head Andri Yansyah said the office had only 25 teams in charge of overseeing the implementation of health protocols, each team tasked with monitoring three companies a day.
With the help of the Jakarta Public Order Agency, the 25 teams are monitoring 79,849 small to large companies that employ up to 2.1 million people.
“That’s why we expect companies’ internal task forces to assist us. Besides the implementation of COVID-19 protocols, we also call for the creation of P2K3 [occupational health and safety committees],” Andri said on Tuesday.
Andri said it would be difficult to avoid the emergence of office transmission clusters during the PSBB if companies did not do their part.
“There is no point if businesses and workers do not cooperate. Don’t blame us if we decide to tighten PSBB measures," he said as quoted by kompas.com.
He called on companies to actively report on the implementation of health protocols and encouraged workers to report companies that violated restrictions, promising them protection and anonymity.
