PT. Pertamina Patra Niaga was founded in 2004, is a sub-holding of PT. Pertamina which handles Pertamina’s downstream oil and gas processes, especially fuel trading and handling, as well as fleet and depot management.

From the results of the analysis, it was found that there were four main causes, namely method, environment, human, and equipment factors.
