Introduction to the National Profile

Linkage of the National Profile to the International Policy Framework for the Sound Management of Chemicals.

Chemicals including pesticide, industrial chemicals, consumer chemicals have become indispensable in many economic activities and are increasingly used in the industrial, agricultural and consumer sectors of all societies. However, increasing evidence suggests that chemicals can contribute to health and environmental problems at various stages during their life cycle from import, production through disposal. The majority of such problem is associated with the use and misuse, improper handling of pesticides in the agricultural sector, but increasingly industrial and consumer chemicals are reported to cause severe health and environmental problems as countries develop from agricultural to industrial societies.

In 1992, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro (Rio Conference), heads of states of government from more than 150 member countries adopted "Agenda 21", a comprehensive document outlining responsibilities of states towards the achievement of sustainable development.

Agenda 21 chapter 19 deals with environmentally sound management of chemicals. All countries present at the Rio Conference agreed on the goal of achieving the sound management of chemicals by the year 2000.

In 1994, the International Conference on Chemical Safety held in Stockholm, Sweden brought together high level representatives from more than 100 countries to identify six programme areas as priorities for action :

  1. Expanding and accelerating international assessment of chemical risks
  2. Harmonisation of classification and labelling of chemicals
  3. Information exchange of toxic chemicals and chemical risks
  4. Establishment of risk reduction programmes
  5. Strengthening national capabilities and capacities for the management of chemicals
  6. Prevention of illegal international traffic in toxic and dangerous products

 

Indonesia has participated in the Rio Conference and the Stockholm conference, which established the Intergovernmental Forum on Chemicals Safety (IFCS). The Stockholm conference, also marking the first meeting of the IFCS, through which, countries regularly discuss the activities to implement the six programme priorities for achieving the sound management of chemicals.

Developing the national profile falls under the programme area E of Chapter 19, "Strengthening national capabilities and capacities for management of chemicals" A Guidance Document has been prepared to assist countries in preparing national profile. It has been prepared by United Nations Instituted for Training and Research (UNITAR). Under the umbrella of the Interorganization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC), a co-operative agreement of FAO, ILO, OECD, UNEP, UNIDO and WHO and in close co-operation with the secretariat of the IFCS.

National objectives and anticipated Benefits of Preparing the Profile

At the inter-ministerial meeting held in April 1996, it was agreed that the preparation of the national profile was necessary and the national profile can serve the following objectives :

To establish an authoritative document which can serve as the basis for further efforts to strengthen the national system for the management of chemicals through involvement of all concerned parties.

Improved Efficiency of Governmental Operations

  • to provide practical information on ongoing programmes and activities in the country which are concerned with the management of chemicals;
  • to establish a process which can facilitate the exchange of information and dialogue among government ministries concerned with the sound management of chemicals, and to assist ministries in learning from each others experience as a basis for improved co-operation;
  • to strengthen national decision-making capabilities related to the management of chemicals;
  • to facilitate the exchange of information and dialogue between government and parties outside of government such as industry, labour and grass-roots organisations.

Social Benefits

  • to provide a basis for improved worker, public and environmental protection as the consequence of improved knowledge and understanding of potential problems and alternative means for addressing them;
  • to provide a basis for improved awareness of chemicals risks among workers and the public and help to develop a national safety culture; and
  • to establish a national dialogue on chemicals safety/management involving all concerned parties and sector of society.

Economic/Trade Benefits

  • to facilities trade in chemicals, and agricultural and industrial products which rely on chemicals;
  • to help ensure that chemicals produced, imported and exported are supporting economic goals and are not creating economic burdens through health, environmental and safety problems;
  • to improve awareness of potential pesticide residue problems which could limit opportunities for agricultural exports, and
  • to indirectly improve the productivity of workers through improved worker safety.

 More Effective Participation in International Activities

  • to ease compliance with international/regional reporting schemes in a consistent and efficient manner, e.g., reporting to the Commission on Sustainable Development and the preparation of background documents for international meeting and workshops;
  • to facilitate communication among countries, which will permit improved learning from other experiences and lead to increased co-operation (e.g., on a regional basis); and
  • to provide a basis for identifying needs for technical and financial assistance and for mobilising assistance resources available from international and bilateral sources.

 Preparation of the national profile and participation of ministries and organisations

 The preparation of a National Profile of Indonesia was funded by UNITAR. At the intersectoral meeting held on 20 November 1996, Directorate General of Drug and Food Control Ministry of Health was appointed as the national co-ordinator to prepare a national profile to assess the national infrastructure for the management of chemicals, and the secretariat is located at the Directorate of Narcotic and Hazardous Substances Control within the Directorate General of Drug and Food Control. It has also been established a National Co-ordinating Team with six Working Groups.

The National Co-ordinating Team represents the following institutions :

The Working Groups represent the institutions mentioned above plus some other institutions as follows :

 Members for details see Annex 1 and 2.

 Each working group deals with chapter relevant to it and was requested to compile relevant data from institutions to be inserted in the national profile. The secretariat consolidated the data and evaluated them with the NCT and discussed with other working groups in a plenary meeting.

 

Executive Summary of the National Profile

INTRODUCTION

In the Rio Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the Head of States of Government adopted "Agenda 21", a comprehensive document outlining responsibilities of states towards the achievement of sustainable development.

Chapter 19 of Agenda 21 deals with Environmentally Sound Management of Chemicals and all countries present at the Rio Conference agreed with the goal of achieving the sound management of chemicals by the year 2000.

The International Conference of Chemical Safety held in 1994 in Stockholm Sweden, established the Intergovernmental Forum on Chemical Safety (IFCS) and adopted the six programme areas "priorities for action" plan to implement the recommendations of Chapter 19 of Agenda 21.

Developing the National Profile falls under the Programme Area E of Chapter 19, Strengthening National Capabilities and Capacities for the Management of Chemicals.

As an initial step Indonesia with the assistance of WHO started preparing a "mini national profile" in May 1996, gathered and compiled all existing legislations on chemicals, issued by the relevant ministries.

This mini National Profile was then developed to a National Profile. The preparation was started in late 1996 with the assistance of UNITAR.

OBJECTIVES AND ANTICIPATED BENEFITS

 The aims and main purposes of preparing the National Profile are to :

  1. ·         document all existing structures relating to chemicals management in Indonesia
  • determine weaknesses and potentials problems related to chemicals management
  • serve as a basis for further efforts to strengthen the national system for management of chemicals through involvement of all concerned parties.
  • facilitate important national economic and trade objectives which rely on chemicals
  • facilitate exchange of information and dialogue among governments, industries, labours and other bodies concerned with the management of chemicals

 

The benefits of a National Profile are to :

  • provide knowledge and understanding of potential problems caused by chemicals to workers, general public and the environment. 
  • improve awareness of chemical risks among workers and the public and help to develop a national safety culture. 
  • enhance co-operation and co-ordination among government ministry. 
  • strengthen national decision making capabilities related to the management of chemicals. 
  • provide information to chemical producers and traders. 
  • ease compliance with international and regional reporting schemes. 
  • facilitate communication among countries and lead to increased co-operation. 
  • identify needs for technical and financial assistance for mobilizing assistance available from international and bilateral sources

PREPARATION OF THE NATIONAL PROFILE

At the inter-ministerial meeting held in November 1996 to prepare the National Profile, a National Co-ordinating Team (NCT) was established.

The members of the Team are key personnels representing the relevant ministries.

Six working groups were also created with the involvement of concerned parties within and outside of government and academia.

The chair person of the working group was selected from the member of the NCT. The chapters in the Guidance Document were divided in the working groups for the collection of data and specific information related to chemicals management.

The meetings and activities related to the preparation of the National Profile with co-ordination through the Directorate General of Drug and Food Control Ministry of Health .

The National Profile is subject to a routine updating and review, with the involvement of concerned parties

 

Summary of the National Profile

National Background Information

Indonesia is an archipelago, consists of five major islands and about 30 smaller groups and the total number of island is 17,508. The sea area is four times greater than that of land area, which is about 1.9 million sq km.

Indonesia is a unitary state headed by a President; consisted of 27 provinces, 243 districts, 57 municipalities, 36 administrative cities, 4,022 sub districts and 65,252 villages.

The population has reached a total of 200,000,000 in February 1997. Urban population are 36 % of the total national population in 1995. Crude birth rate was 23.6 per 1000 population; infant mortality rate 58.0 per 1000 population and crude death rate 7.7 per 1000 population; life expectancy 65.3 years; literacy rate was 85.72 %. Estimated working age (15 - 65 years) was 120,690,207 people; of which the woman employees were 31,618,922 people. Unemployment rate was 7.24 %. The average education level in 1996 for the primary and secondary level was 66.2 %, for the high school was 40.5 % and higher education was 12.3 %.

The official language is Indonesia (Bahasa Indonesia).

For industrial/manufacturing sector, 99.20 % are home industries with 1 - 4 employees.

Only 0.12 % are big industries with more than 100 employees.

On the other side, for agricultural sector 79.69 % are microfarms with 1 - 15 employees and only 2.26 % is classified as big farms with more than 250 employees.

The major economic sectors based on the contribution to GDP have been industrial/manufacturing (24.18 %) with the major products are textiles, papers, chemicals, plastics, food products; mining and extraction (8.41 %) with major products are oil and gases; and agricultural (17.16 %) with major products are paddy, palm kernel, rubber, and sugar cane.

Industrial employment are mostly in basic metal industries, textiles and leather goods, wood, wood products and printing, coal and petrochemical products, paper and paper products.

Chemical production, import, export and use

Import of chemicals (raw materials) for industrial use is still dominate. Importation of petroleum chemical products was 18 million tons, ranked as the most abundant chemicals imported, while the production/manufacturing/formulation and exportation were approximately 58 million tons and almost 52 million tons per year, respectively.

The statistical feature for pesticides was ca 4,500 tons, 52,000 tons and ca 170,000 tons for importation, production/manufacturing/formulation and exportation, respectively. Another important chemical was derived from industrial chemicals which were imported, produced/manufactured/formulated and exported as much as 5.5 million tons and ca 195,000 tons, respectively. The amount of production/manufacturing/formulation, importation and exportation of consumer chemicals were about 12 million tons, 620,000 tons and 6 million tons per year, respectively.

The major chemical wastes, generated per year were wastes from industries including waste water containing heavy metals, CO, NOX, hydrocarbons, SOX and emission of Pb.

No chemical waste, so far, was imported or exported.

Priority Concern Related to Chemicals Production, Import, Export and Use

Priority concern related to chemicals production, import, export and use is air pollution, pollution of inland waterways/river, marine pollution, ground water pollution, soil contamination, chemical residue in food, drinking water contamination, hazardous waste treatment/disposal, occupational health, public health, chemical accident, storage/disposal of obsolete chemicals, chemical poisoning/suicides, free purchasing of chemicals and labelling of chemicals.

The scale of problem ranging from local to regional. Almost all of the problems identified as high rank in priority.

Specific chemical creating concerns are CO, CO2, NOX, SOX, Pb, suspended particulate matters, volatile hydrocarbons, heavy metals, cyanides, surfactants, pesticides, paints, solvents, oil, aflatoxin, dyestuffs, borax, formaldehyde, ammonia, chlorine, arsenic and nitrites.

A national poison information centre located at DGODFC, MOH has been established to address poisoning cases to human. With respect to environmental problems, a waste treatment facility near Jakarta has been operating.

An improved co-ordinating mechanism is needed to gain more accurate and reliable data on chemicals production, import, export and use. This will, in turn, result in increased national capacity and capability for achieving sound management of chemicals

Legal Instruments and Non-Regulatory Mechanism for Managing Chemicals.

A number of laws, regulations, decrees, standards or other legal instruments addressing the control of chemicals have been issued. The available legislations, however, do not cover adequately all aspects in terms of sound management of chemicals.

Key legal instruments governing chemicals are as follows :

  • Hazardous Substances Ordinance No. 379 year 1949. This law regulates production, distribution and usage of disinfectants, cleaning agents, toxic chemicals which can cause hazard to human health.
  • Law No. 11 year 1967 on mining which regulates all steps of control in mining.
  • Law No. 1 year 1970 on safety at the work place.
  • Law No. 4 year 1982 on management of environment.
  • Law No. 5 year 1984 on industry.
  • Law No. 12 year 1992 on plant cultivation including pesticides.
  • Law No. 14 year 1992 on transportation of goods.
  • Law No. 21 year 1992 on shipping which regulates the prohibition of waste disposal from ships to the sea.

The various existing regulations also regulate licences issued by the MOIT, registration of pesticides by the MOA/PC, registration of carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, irritants, corrosive and toxic substances by the MOH and also labelling and packaging.

Radioactive materials and explosives have been regulated by NAEA and MODS, respectively.

To date, there is no single act that covers all stages of the chemicals life cycle from the import/production through disposal, included the right terminology, classification and labelling, registration of product, permits, licences, reporting requirements, information to be provided, inspection, etc. A single act on this matter is a necessity and is now under preparation.

At present, big industries have their own voluntary code of practice by which risk of chemicals can be reduced.

Another key factor relating to sound management of chemicals is to encourage the awareness of producers, traders, and workers and to develop a safety culture.

Ministries, Agencies and Other Institution Managing Chemicals.

Various ministries and institutions are responsible for ensuring that chemicals do not cause hazard to human health and the environment. The ministries and institutions involved namely the Ministries of Health, Environment/EIMA, Industry and Trade, Agriculture, Man Power, Mining and Energy, Defense and Security, Transportation, Finance (Custom) and National Atomic Energy Agency.

Certain problems have been adequately managed through sound co-operation and co-ordination among the corresponding authorities. However, there are some problems on chemicals need to be managed jointly by several authorities.

Co-operation and co-ordination among related parties should be encouraged and strengthened to achieve sound management of chemicals.

Relevant Activities of Industry, Public Interest Groups, and the Research Sector.

A number of institutions or organizations play an important role in the management of chemicals, and are considered as the government counterparts, sharing information ideas suggestion to government, but they have no capacity to make decision.

These organizations are identified as professional organizations, industrial associations, universities, research institutes, and Non-Governmental Organizations.

Almost all information on management of chemicals can be obtained from the government and in return, the government expects NGOs for providing information related to management of chemicals. To some extent, NGOs inform the public through printed or electronic mass media on certain issues relating to chemicals.

Inter-misnisterial commissions and co-ordinating mechanism

There is a number of mechanisms available for co-ordinating among relevant institutions, namely,

  • Pesticide Commission on registration, labelling, packaging, distribution, storage and usage of pesticides.
  • Joint commission of MOH-NAEA on safety of radiation on health.
  • Security council on import, distribution usage of explosives.
  • Occupational Health and Work Safety Board on occupational safety health.
  • Commission of Analysis on Environmental Impact

All the existing inter-ministerial commissions are centralized at the national level, except occupational health and work safety board and commission for analysis on environment impact has their own branches in each provinces.

The available commissions and co-ordinating mechanism have not covered all aspects of chemicals, therefore, an inter-ministerial commission and co-ordinating mechanism in the area of chemicals management need to be set up.

Data Access and Use

It is generally accepted that the availability and reliability of information are the key factors to sound chemicals management. Each ministry has its own system in collecting and disseminating data relevant to its functions. Data on the health and environmental health effects caused by chemicals including poisoning statistics, listing of toxic chemicals, are kept at the MOH. Data on pollutant release and transfer register, hazardous waste and PIC on chemicals are held at EIMA. PIC on pesticides, register of pesticides are at the MOA. Industrial accident and occupational held data can be found at the MOMP.

Transport accident data at the MOT. Data on production, import, export and chemical use statistics are available at CBS. Data on importers and producers of chemicals are kept at MOIT.

International literatures are obtained from and through UN agencies, authorized sources, recommended books and journals, namely WHO Health and Safety Guides, IPCS/EC International Chemicals Safety, Data Cards, FAO/UNEP decision guidance document for PIC chemicals, FAO/WHO Pesticide Safety Data Sheets, document from the FAO/WHO joint meeting on pesticide residues, Material Safety Data Sheets, OECD guidelines for the testing of chemicals, Good Laboratories and Good Manufacturing Practice Principle, and WHO/UNEP Global Environmental Library Network.

International data bases related to IRPTC available at EIMA, ILOCIS at MOMP, IPCS Intox, Chemical abstract service database and relevant database from other countries (e.g. micromedex, toxline, chemdata, etc) are available at MOH.

Most data is accessible to the public on it eligibility and on request. Confidential data is only accessible to particular authorities. Constrains in budget, facilities, and human resources also result in insufficiency to access the available international databases as a mean to improve and update data.

Technical Infrastructure

A broad range of laboratory infrastructures located at various ministries have been set up at national level as well as provincial level. These laboratories have been designed to meet the requirements of each institution/ministry, such as analysis of pesticide residues, heavy metals, toxic chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Such laboratories are found at the MOH, MOA, MOMP, MOIT, NAEA, EIMA and IIOS.

Most of the laboratories utilizes internationally-recognized protocols, for instance WHO, FAO, USP, Codex Alimentarius Commission, EPA and other relevant guidances, a National Standardization Council has been set up.

International Linkages

Indonesia is a member of a number of international organizations, and has been participating in various programmes such as IFCS, UNEP, IRPTC, IE/PAC, IPCS, WHO, FAO, UNIDO, ILO and UNITAR, and international agreements such as Agenda 21, UNEP London Guidelines, Code of Conduct, Montreal Protocol, ILO Convention 170, UN Recommendation for the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Basel Convention, GATT/WTO Agreements, Chemicals Weapon Convention, Regional and Bilateral Agreements related to environment/pollution.

Through the international linkages several local projects have accepted funding and technical assistance e.g. chemical safety, environment quality monitoring system, environmental health impact assessment, training programme pollution development, pollution control implementation, collaborative environment programme network of industrial of a national profile management. Assistance has been received from organization such as WHO, UNDP,UNEP,GTZ, OECF, UNITAR.

The focal point is usually located at the institution/ministry which is considered to be the primary responsibilie agency.

In principle, all aids from international organization, are co-ordinated by NDPA, except for certain programmes which organized by related authorities through agreements.

Awareness/ Understanding of Workers and the Public.

Legal instruments have been issued to protect the workers and public from dangerous chemicals exposure such as Law No. 1 year 1970 designated the employer and workers right and responsibility in the implementation of OSH, MOMP Decree No. 3 year 1985 on the use of asbestos at the work place. Ministry of Defense and Security Decree No. 10 year 1988 on explosives; handling and controlling of distribution, storage and usage of pesticides are regulated in the Government Regulation No. 7 year 1973 and for the Packaging and Labelling Requirement of Pesticides are regulated by the MOA Decree No. 429 year 1973. To increase the public awareness and knowledge upon chemicals risk, education and training should be encouraged and enforced.

Government institutions and private sectors can play their role in these matters by providing supporting sources such as books, leaflets or other forms of information.

Resource Available and Needed for Chemicals Management

Type of expertise and the number of staffs required by each ministry depend on the related ministry and fund available. Chemistry, toxicology, environmental science have been the most required educational background for chemicals management. In this regard some training in the field of chemical safety, environmental management, pesticide handling, analysis for pesticide residues, toxicology, ecotoxicology and other related topics are of great importance.

The capability and capacity of the existing human resources should be developed.

Special attention should be paid on continuing human resources training in the area of chemicals management including inspection techniques as well as laboratory skills.

Conclusions and Recommendations for Follow up :

  • The establishment of a single act that accommodates all aspects of the chemicals life cycle in terms of sound management of chemicals, is the key to success in achieving sustainable development.
  • Due to the fact that chemicals are managed by various ministries/institutions, and in order to improve sound co-ordination and co-operation among concerned parties, a council/commission is urgently needed to be set up.
  • The availability and reliability of data and information are the key factors to sound chemicals management in decision making. In order to obtain such data, mutual concerns and good co-ordinating mechanisms among related authorities should be strengthened. For this purpose data is obtainable through good reporting system, exchange of information, providing data bases, internet linking both at national and international level, etc.
  • Government should encourage the role of NGOs and public including workers to promote public awareness and knowledge in chemicals management and safety culture. This can be achieved through training, education, publication, information, responsible care programme and any other means.
  • To improve capability and capacity of human resources who deal with chemicals management as well as laboratory skills, training supported by government or international organizations is of necessary.
  • The final National Profile will be distributed to the related authorities as a document to be considered in their efforts to strengthened the management of chemicals.
  • It is necessary for authorities to improve their data collections for evaluating and updating of the National Profile which will be conducted periodically.

 

Chapter 1 : National Background Information

1.1

Physical and Demographic Context

Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world, it consists of five major islands and about 30 smaller groups. The figure for the total number of island is 17,508. The archipelago is on the cross road between two oceans, the Pacific and the Indian and bridges two continents Asia and Australia. This strategic position has always influenced the cultural, social, political and economic life of the country.

The territory of the Republic of Indonesia stretches from 6o 08’ north latitude to 11o 15’ south latitude and from 94o 45’ to 141o 05’ east longitude. The Indonesian sea area is four times greater than the land area, which is about 1.9 million sq km. The sea area is about 7.9 million sq km (including an exclusive economic zone) which constitutes about 81 % of the total area of the country.

The five main islands are Sumatra, which is about 473,606 sq km in size, the most fertile and densely populated islands Java and Madura 132,107 sq km, Kalimantan which comprises two third of the island of Borneo 539,460 sq km, Sulawesi 189,216 sq km, and Irian Jaya 421,981 sq km, which is the world’s second largest island.

 

1.1.1

Form of Government

Indonesia is a unitary republic with sovereignty vested in the people which is fully exercised by elected People’s Consultative Assembly.

According to the 1945 Constitution there are six organs of the state :

  1. The People’s Consultative Assembly.
  2. The Presidency.
  3. The House of Representative.
  4. The Supreme Advisory Council
  5. The State Audit Board
  6. The Supreme Court

Indonesian political system is based on Pancasila (the Five Principles), with the principle of democracy based on consensus through deliberations.

 

1.1.2

Languages

Official Language is Indonesia Language (Bahasa Indonesia) there are about 583 local languages and various dialects spoken. Some of the distinctly different local languages are Acehnese, Batak, Sundanese, Halmahera, Ambonese, Javanese, Sasak, Tetum of Timor, Dayak, Minahasa, Toraja, Buginese, Ceramese and several Irianese languages.

 

1.1.3

Population

Indonesia is the world fourth most populous country with a total 195,283,200 people of the 1995 population intercencal survey, and has reached a total of 200,000,000 in February 1997. As with some countries, particularly those in the developing world, the towns and cities are always the major attraction for the rural population. This is undoubtedly when the land no longer offers an effective means to earn a living. Indonesia is no exception. Over the years, particularly after World War II, cities have grown rapidly in terms of size and population so that municipal governments have not been very successful in coping with the impact of urbanisation .

Urban population who live and work in cities ranging from big cities to provincial and district capital city are 36 % of the total national population.

Rural population are 64 % of the total population who live and work in sub districts, municipalities and villages.

 

1.1.4

Birth Rate

The birth rate declined drastically from 33.5 per 1000 people in 1983 to 23.6 in 1995. The crude birth rate was 23.6 per 1000 population in 1995 and projected to reduce to 22.6 per 1000 population in 1998.

The total fertility rate was 2.7 per woman in 1995. Several factors including rising living standard, higher educational level and improved health services, contributed to the birth rate decline.

But the greatest proportion is attributable to the increasing number of people participating in family planning, especially the new eligible couples.

 

1.1.5

Life Expectancy and Mortality Rate

The expectation of life for 1986 was 59.80 years, and projected in 1997 to be 64.25 years. In 1995 the life expectancy for woman was 65.3 years. The crude death rate in 1988 was 7.9 per 1000 people as compared with 7.7 per 1000 people in 1995. The infant mortality rate declined from 58.0 per 1000 people in 1988 to 55.0 in 1995. Causes for the declined in the mortality rate are the consequences of better nutrition, rising standard of living, advances in medical science, growth of medical facilities, improved health measures, better working conditions, advances in education on personal hygiene.

 

1.1.6

Literacy Rate

The literacy rate of the urban population was 92.8 % in comparison to 82.05% for rural population and the national the literacy rate was 85.72 %.

 

1.1.7

Population of Working Age

In the 1995 population intercencal survey, the estimated of working age (15-65 years) was 120,690,207 people. Of which the woman employees were 31,618,922 people.

 

1.1.8

Average Education Level of Population

The average education level in 1996 for the primary and secondary school was 66.2 % for the high school was 40.5 % and higher education was 12.3 %.

 

1.1.9

Unemployment Rate

Unemployment rate was 7.24 % based on the 1995 population intercencal survey.

1.2

Political/Geographic Structure of the Country

The unitary state of the Republic of Indonesia is divided into 27 provincies which are sub divided into 243 districts, 57 municipalities, 36 administrative cities 4,022 sub districts or kecamatan, 65,252 villages which are classified into rural and urban villages.

 

1.2.1

Local Government Entities

The structure and organisation of local governments resemble the pattern of the national government. At the national level, the President is the Chief Executive who appoints and assisted by cabinet of ministers, parallel to the national executive is the House of Representative as a legislative body with whom the government enacts law and determines the national budget.

Similarly, the governor is the chief executive in the province and works with regional officials. Side by side is the provincial legislative body, with whom the regional government concurs on regional legislation and decisions on the budget.

For the district and the municipal levels, the chief executive are respectively, the bupati (district head) and walikota (mayor). Again, the bupati concurs with the local legislative body on matters relating to local government regulation and the budget.

Both provincial and district governments are granted autonomy.

The lowers government level is the kecamatan /sub district headed by camat and administrative sub division of the Kabupaten or Kotamadya subordinate the Kelurahan.

 

1.2.2

Location of Various Ethnic Groups

There are a number of ethnic groups spread in the whole country. Some of them are Aceh, Batak, Padang, Melayu, Mentawai, Kubu, Lampung, live in Sumatera island. Then Badui, Sundanese, Javanese, Tengger live in Jaya island. Madura in Madura island, Dayak in Kalimantan, Minahasa, Gorontalo, Bugis and Toraja in Sulawesi. Ternate, Ambonese in Maluku Provinces, Bali in Bali, Sasak in Lombok, Bima in Sumbawa, Flores in Flores, Timor in Timor island. Dani, Baliem in Irian.

1.3

Industrial and Agricultural Sectors

Since the past five year programme, industrial sector has shifted the domination of GDP from agricultural sector. Nevertheless, agricultural sector is still the biggest contribution for employment. National income was shifted from domination of oil and gas to the industrial goods. Textile has been the major product, followed by papers, chemicals, plastics and food products, while in agricultural sector paddy is the major product.

Chapter 3 : Priority Concerns Related to Chemicals Production, Import, Export and Use

3.1

Priority Concerns Related to Chemicals Production, Import, Export and Use.

Indonesia is now moving into era of industrialization indicated by the implementation of sophisticated technology and the increasing use of chemicals. Chemicals are in fact, inevitably needed by various sectors i.e. industrial, agricultural, forestry, mining, health, etc. The use of this chemicals, so far, has resulted in some accidents, poisonings, health and environment problems. Measures have been taken to reduce this problems.

A National Poison Information Centre has been established in November 1995, located in the Directorate General of Drug and Food Control Ministry of Health, Jakarta. A regional Poison Centre has been launched in March 1997 in Ujung Pandang South Sulawesi, and this year 3 others will be operated in Medan (North Sumatera), Bandung (West Java) and Surabaya (East Java) in one network system.

It has also been established a hazardous waste treatment facility in 1994 located in Cibinong about 40 km from Jakarta. This facility is operated by PT. Persada Pamunah Limbah Industri (an affiliation of Waste Management International Inc.), equipped with secure landfill facility, chemical and physical treatment and stabilization. In the near future there will be planned to establish similar facility located in East Java

3.2

Comments/Analysis

 The problems listed above have been identified by related ministries based on available data and agreement has been reached to determine relative priorities. Nevertheless a coordinating mechanism has to be developed in collecting appropriate and reliable data and information, related to chemicals production, import, export, handling, transportation, usage and disposal.

 

Chapter 4 : Legal Instruments and Non Regulatory Mechanisms for Managing Chemicals

4.1

Overview of to National Legal Instruments which Address the Management of Chemicals

Legal instruments can contribute to a more effective approach to the sound management of chemicals if they are adhered to and enforced. There are a number of laws, regulations, decrees, standards or other legal instruments addressing the control of chemicals, however, the available legislations do not cover all aspects adequately. Regulations issued by the respective ministry cover only certain aspects according to its responsibilities and concerns as can be seen in Table 4A.

There are also differences in meaning to certain terms/terminology or classification of hazardous substances among ministries.

Realizing this situation and to strengthen and enhance the implementation of the sound management of chemicals, to have one single act in this respect is a necessity. It would cover all the stages of the chemicals life cycle from the import/production through disposal, including the right terminology, classification and labelling, registration of products, permits, licences, reporting requirements, information to be provided, inspection etc.

    Comments / Analysis

    Almost all information on management of chemicals can be obtained from the government, on the other hand government expects NGOs for providing information related to management of chemicals.

    NGO, have opportunity to deliver ideas and suggestions to government on chemicals in general sense but they have no capacity to make decision.

    Some big industries have formulated Code of practice for their own concern and material Safety Data Sheet.

    To some extent NGO, inform the public through printed or electronic mass media on certain issues relating to chemicals.

    7.4

    Comments / Analysis

    The existing co-ordinating mechanisms, so far, have been working reasonably. Frequency of meetings held by respective commission depends on the need and urgency of the problems.

    The assessment of the membership of each institution in the commissions need to be regularly verified based on the functions and responsibilities of the corresponding institution.

    The available co-ordination and co-operation mechanisms have not covered all aspects of chemicals, there for an inter-ministerial commission and co-ordinating mechanism in the area of chemical management need to be set up. there are some problems on chemicals need to be managed jointly by several authorities.

    Based on these facts co-operation and co-ordination among related parties should be encouraged and strengthened to achieve sound management of chemicals.

     

    Chapter 8 : Data Access and Use

    8.1

    Availability of Data for National Chemicals Management.

    The availability and reliability of information is the key factors to sound chemicals management.

    In the process of making good decision data and information with respect to various aspects of chemicals management are required. These should also accommodate the production import, usage, beneficial, adverse effect to human health and environment, etc. The nature of the data collected depends on the provision of adequate resources. Table 8A shows the assessment of data available at the national level.

    Procedures for Collecting and Disseminating National/Local Data

    Industries and other institutions which deal with chemicals are subject to submit reports to the respective authorities in terms of data on production, importation, distribution (certain chemicals), cases of poisoning, accidents, etc. Most data is accessible by the public based on the eligibility on request. Confidential data is only accessible to particular authorities.

    Each ministry has its own system in collecting and disseminating national/local data relevant to their functions. Data on the health and environmental effects on chemicals is now being maintained by the Ministry of Health through its subordinate office. The Environmental Impact Management Agency is also developing data base of the environmental effect of chemicals. Various government authorities such as Central Bureau of Statistics maintains data related to specific chemicals used in Indonesia for different concerns. For public concerns there is no restriction to access information from the government. However, for information classified as confidential will fall into the decision of the corresponding ministries.

    National Information Exchange Systems

    Exchange of information among institutions and individuals is on request to the head of institutions where the data are kept and it is well maintained so far. International materials received, a summary of the critical information may be made and distributed to concerned parties.

    8.7

    Comments/Analysis.

    Gaps in literature/information and its distribution still exist among related parties due to the consistent in facilities, budged arrangement, human resources and lack of knowledge of the related parties on the handling and the impact of hazardous substances.

    It seems that there is no overlapping or conflicting sources of information related to the chemical management, because every ministry has its own respective source for respective concern. Besides, the terms used by each ministry are based on the applicable international standards.

    The existing database on chemicals are now only located in limited sectors while the others are still very limited in reliability since they are operated manually and the data import will merely depended on the eagerness of the operator. Fortunately, a number of the ministries are eager to develop and improve their database.

    National Poison Information Centre under the MOH has its own database related to poisoning in general and serving information on chemicals to concerned parties. This Centre has been interlinked with provincial Poison Information Centre in a network system.

    The existing mechanism for the exchange of information among related ministries are now being undertaken by each ministry to improve its infrastructure and facilities as well as human resources development.

    Constraints in budget, facilities and human resources also result in insufficiency to access the available international databases as a means to improve and up-date data. Actually, all concerned parties have appropriate access to information relevant to their interest. Since the coverage of each database is limited, it would probably not satisfy every party in need for information.

     

    Chapter 9 : Technical Infrastructure

    9.1

    Overview of Laboratory Infrastructure

    Laboratory facilities for chemical analysis are presently available at several ministries and institutions such as National Atomic Energy Agency, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Man Power, Ministry of Industry and Trade, Environmental Impact Management Agency and Indonesian Institute of Sciences.

    These governmental laboratories have been designed to meet the requirements of each institution, such as analysis of pesticide residues and heavy metals in foodstuffs, fruits, vegetables, dangerous and poisonous substances, and, pharmaceuticals. Such laboratories are also used as the place for research and testing on the quality and safety of medicines, veterinary drugs, cosmetics, narcotics, and pesticides as well. In addition, laboratories may be used as the place for training and courses for staffs on chemicals analysis.

    For laboratories which conduct pesticide residue analysis and environmental monitoring, a laboratory network has been established.

    Most of the laboratories utilizes internationally - recognized protocols such as WHO, FAO, USP, Codex Alimentarius Commission ( CAC), EPA, and other relevant guidances. A National Standardization Council by which national programmes for improving the quality and the quantity of the relevant laboratories, has been set up.

    Comments/Analysis

    The number of existing laboratories is still inadequate. Moreover, such laboratories are mainly concentrated in Java except laboratory at the Provincial Drug and Food Control and Provincial Health Laboratory Office existed in each province throughout Indonesia. Therefore, procurement of additional laboratories outside Java is of primary importance in order to strengthen chemicals management at national level.

    Laboratory network and the referral laboratory at national level are of necessary. 

     

    Chapter 10 : International Linkages

    10.1

    Co-operation and Involvement with International Organizations, Bodies and agreements

    Indonesia has been participating in various activities conducted by international organizations, by assigning delegates/representatives from pertinent institutions and ministries. This proves that at ministry level there is a national focal point which can be kept in touch with international organizations constantly.

    Indonesia has been the party in the activities relating to chemical safety, monitoring pesticide residues in foodcrops and horticulture and environmental health (as shown in Table 10 A).

    The participation of Indonesia in chemicals management covers the Agenda 21-Commission for Sustainable Development, FAO of Conduct, ILO Convention 170, International Convention in Chemical Safety, etc.

    Comments/Analysis

    The implementation of international agreements on particular matters is conducted through intersectoral commissions or co-ordinating teams. The focal point for each commission or team is usually located at the institution which is considered to be the primary responsible agency. These commissions or teams organise their meetings on a regular basis to provide directions, monitor, and evaluate progress.

    Focal point has the responsibility of collecting, compiling and distributing data and information as well as providing suggestion(s) to authorities dealing with chemicals management.

    The integration activities of the international organizations into the national programme, so far, have been performed well. Appropriate co-ordination among the members of the commissions or teams needs to be strengthened at the national level. In principle, all aids from International Organizations are co-ordinated by National Development Planning Agency except for certain programmes which can be organized by related authorities through agreements. Existing linkages with international organizations that support chemicals management should be strengthened through improved co-ordination mechanism, better communication, redefinition of priorities, better adaptations to local condition, etc.

    To improve the capacity and capability of the existing institutions relating to sound management of chemicals, it is a necessity to elaborate the existing infrastructures, facilities and well trained human resources. 

     

    Chapter 11 : Awareness/Understanding of Workers and the Public 

    11.1

    Legal Instrument on the Awareness of Workers and Public

    To protect the workers and public from dangerous chemical exposure, it is necessary to have great awareness and sufficient knowledge on chemical substances and the control measures. In this regard, governmental regulations have been issued such as :

    1. Law No. 11 year 1970 designated the employer and worker right and responsibility in the implementation of OSH.
    2. Ministry of Man Power Decree No. 3 year 1985 on the use of asbestos at the work place.
    3. Ministry of Defense and Security Decree No. 10 year 1988 on explosives handling.
    4. Government Regulation No.7 year 1973 on Controlling of Distribution, Storage and Usage of Pesticides.
    5. Ministry of Agriculture Decree No. 429 year 1973 on The Packaging and Labelling Requirements for Pesticides.

    11.2

    Awareness and Understanding by the Workers and Public

    To increase the public awareness and knowledge upon chemical risk and the control when accident occurred, government institutions or private sectors encourage and enforce education and training.

    Supporting sources such as books, leaflets or other forms of information can be provided to the workers and public. In addition, continuous monitoring as well as periodical inspection against the chemical risk/danger are of necessary.

     

    Chapter 12 : Resources Available and Needed for Chemicals Management

    12.1

    Resources Available in Government Ministries/Institution

    Educational level and the number of staffs required by each ministry for management of chemicals depend on the respective ministry and fund available.

    Comments/Analysis

    To some degree, the technical capacity of various national ministries / agencies to address the management of chemical is reasonably adequate. Their capacities are linked to corresponding functions of each ministries / agencies.

    On the basis of current chemicals management, inter-ministerial co-operation and information link among ministries / agencies need to be encouraged. International cooperation through internet linking or other means of information transmission should be established. The capability and capacity of the existing human resources should be developed. Special attention should be paid on continuing human resources training in the area of chemical management including inspection techniques as well as laboratory skills.

    A good strategy should be developed to mobilize sufficient technical and human resources to ensure the sound chemical management
