Attended seminar on Occ. Safety, Health & Environment in the Construction Industry conducted by the Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia and the following issues were raised. and discussed:
i. The Principles of Safety First
ii. OSH Theory and best Practices
iii. Problems and Practical Solutions
One of the best practices were also shared with a renowned Contractor IJM Corporation Bhd
It was an interesting seminar as it was the first for me to attend upon having to handle the OSHE unit.
Discussed with HR General Manager on the dept’s manpower as the requirement for OSHE unit was unbudgeted for year 2008. Even for the position of the Quality Manager has yet to be filled up since requested from early last year. A candidate was identified but accepted a better offer form another company to work abroad. Getting the right people is quite a hassle as most do not want to come down to Johor if they are based in
Site visits were conducted to identify issues and non compliance on site. Discussions held with contractors and they raised the issues on least occ. Safety & health implementation due to cost and lack of awareness.
Non compliance includes absence of personnel protective equipments (PPE) such as safety helmets and safety boots/ shoes, protection of slopes for trenches, sppeding of lorries at construction sites (more than 15 km per hr), etc
