HIRADC (Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Determining Control) is a method of identifying the risks of a job so that a priority picture of which jobs must be controlled can be obtained. In other words, prioritizing which jobs have a high risk.

While JSA (Job Safety Analysis) is a method used to describe the risk hazards of a job and develop appropriate controls to reduce risk and minimize work accidents.

The activity that ended this afternoon is expected to enhance the understanding and expertise of PPKA and Sintel personnel, leading to improved work professionalism. This will ultimately contribute to the safety, comfort, and security of the Indonesian railway system in the future. (DPP)
