MICT beefs up safety
With reports from Paulo Peñalba
The Safety Office of the Manila
International Container Terminal
(MICT) beefed up safety in ICTSI’s
flagship operation through a series of
seminars on port safety and health
standards, earthquake preparedness,
fire emergencies, and first aid / basic life
support.
Attended by key operations personnel,
the seminars’ lectures were held at the
training room of the Safety Office at the
second floor of the CFS 1 Building, while
drills were conducted at the delivery side of
CFS 2.
Aside from in-house trainers, the Safety
Office invited speakers and experts from
various government agencies involved in
disaster risk reduction.
In July, the earthquake preparedness
seminar and training, fire emergencies
lecture and drill and a first aid / basic life
support seminar were conducted by the
Office of Civil Defense – National Capital
Region. Lecturers were Amy Daura
Gumboc of the Bureau of Fire Protection
Special Response Unit, and Fire Officers
Fernando Basada and Marvin Manolid.
The Safety Office structured an
earthquake simulator where an office
environment was created using an open
container. Participants were then placed
inside the container, after which a
reach stacker, simulating an earthquake
movement, lifted and swayed the container.
The movement recorded an intensity of
seven to eight on the Richter scale.
A team from the National Disaster Risk
Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC)
evaluated the participants’ response to
the simulation. The seminars and drills
are in observance of the National Disaster

Consciousness Month mandated under
Executive Order No.137.
In September and October, a port
safety and health standards seminar was
held discussing safety awareness inside
container terminals, fundamentals of
dangerous goods (IMDG), importance of
personal protective equipment, fire safety
and hazard identification and climate
change. Trainers were Raffy Lauron,
Operations Consultant, and Erwin Carreon,
Operations Superintendent.

Parola solid waste management program: A cleaner,
greener community after one year
By Marie Bernadette De Guzman
The ICTSI Foundation gathered 62 eco patrols, community
volunteers and champions of the environment in Parola last
October for the first anniversary celebration of the Parola Solid
Waste Management Project (PSWMP). Parola is the host
community of ICTSI's flagship operation, Manila International
Container Terminal, in Tondo, Manila.
During the gathering, eco patrols shared their thoughts and
learning experiences from the project, and the positive changes the
project brought to their well-being, family and community.
Key accomplishments of the PSWMP were: solid waste
management seminars for 2,822 residents, waste analysis and
characterization study on Parola solid wastes, regular garbage
collection along South Access Road in coordination with the Manila
Department of Public Service, social security for the eco patrols,
and the creation of a Barangay Ecological Solid Waste Management
Committee in accordance with Republic Act 9003.
The Foundation also provided new sets of rubber boots, gloves
and broomsticks to eco patrols whose assigned community gates
are constantly flooded.
On its second year, the PSWMP will intensify its information
and education drive on waste segregation in households. This
is expected to result in significant waste reduction and the
identification of appropriate livelihood interventions to process solid
waste.
