Compliance in maintaining cleanliness is not only instilled in employees, but also passengers in terminal

Pulogebang Integrated Bus Terminal Unit Head, Bernad Pasaribu conveyed, both administrators and people who use all public facilities at the terminal were encouraged to take care and maintain cleanliness.

"Compliance in maintaining cleanliness is not only instilled in employees, but also passengers in terminal. Overall, we take care the cleanliness in office area, terminal area, as well as facilities in terminal," he stated, Thursday (12/3).

Inspection also carried out in canteens or food stalls in terminal. Personnel check the food quality and sanitation.

"Health inspection for canteen snacks also becomes our concern to ensure the food is safe for consumption. Including sanitation, especially wastewater drainage and clean water," he mentioned.

Health protocol implementation for preventing Covid-19 transmission also became one of the main points of the inspection for Healthy Terminal Award assessment.

According to him, health protocols have been implemented well in terminal area, from 3M implementation, availability of health support facilities, and regular disinfectant spraying.

"If health protocol is the most important thing in the midst of Covid-19 pandemic, in our assessment, we don't find any obstacles, everything is going well for passengers. Everything is carried out strictly, everyone should wear mask, wash hands, and maintain their distance," he explained.

He would make innovations in order to improve health protocols implementation at terminal, by instructing terminal personnel to clean the area every 1-2 hours.

"Every 1-2 hours, we will sound some kind of siren or gong. All personnel in the area are required to clean up when the siren sounds. I will implement it in the near future," he conveyed.
