The Faculty of Agricultural Technology (FTP), Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), held a Hydrant Pump Usage Training on Friday, July 24, 2026, at the Graduate School Building, FTP UGM. The training, which featured PT Tiga Mas as the resource provider, was attended by the FTP UGM Office of Security, Occupational Health, Safety, and Environment (K5L), the Asset Team, and cleaning service staff. The training aimed to strengthen the readiness of support staff in facing emergency situations, particularly the potential risk of fire within the faculty environment.
The training focused on introducing the hydrant system available at the Graduate School Building, FTP UGM, and on the correct and safe procedures for operating the hydrant pump. Participants gained an understanding of the function of each component of the hydrant system, the procedure for activating the pump, and the steps required when facing an emergency before firefighters arrive at the scene.
In addition to the presentation of materials, participants also took part in hands-on practice using the hydrant pump under the guidance of the resource provider. Through this simulation, participants had the opportunity to practice the equipment’s operating procedures, making them better prepared to respond in the event of an emergency requiring initial fire-handling measures.
The training forms part of FTP UGM’s ongoing effort to strengthen a culture of workplace safety across the campus. Building the capacity of personnel involved in managing buildings and facilities is expected to support the creation of a safer work environment while minimizing risk in the event of an emergency.
Through this activity, FTP UGM reaffirms its commitment to continuously improving occupational health and safety through ongoing education and training for education staff and support personnel, as part of reliable campus facility management.
This activity supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, through the strengthening of a workplace safety culture; SDG 4: Quality Education, through improved human resource competency; and SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, through strengthened disaster-risk preparedness within the campus environment.
