Promote Occupational HSE at Work Environment

Basic philosophy of Occupational HSE: To protect safety and health of

workers/employees during working through efforts made to control all potential hazards

by complying with the safe standards at workplace. This in turn will contribute to safe

and healthy workplace as well as efficient production. At the end, it will mitigate the

company’s risk of loss and boost the productivity and ultimately it will support the

government’s program to maintain the stability of national economy.

1. Safety First

Creating zero accidents and zero incidents is not impossible. It can be achieved by

introducing the hazards and the actions to control them to workers/employees and ensuring

that the relevant workers/employees have comprehensive understanding of it and make it

as the way they work and even make it internalized within them as their culture.

Companies not exposed to Occupational HSE related hazards and risks would tend to ignore

HSE because the workers/employees have never experienced accidents or incidents that

they remain healthy after working for decades. Keep in mind; someone will tend to have

better comprehension when he/she experiences it himself/herself.

2. Implementation of Occupational HSE

Occupational HSE can be implemented, among others, by:

- Development and training for the QHSE related employees.

- Top to bottom communication on hazards and risks at workplace so that

workers/employees will always keep it in mind and even remind others when

irregularities and nonconformities are noticed. It can be in the form of morning

briefing prior to working or heading to work location, toolbox meeting, monthly

meeting, etc.

- Occupational HSE promotions or commonly called as safety campaign in visual

through posters, banners, pamphlets, stickers, etc. It can also be an interesting

program, such as competition, quiz, and others that stimulate workers/employees to

have more awareness of Occupational HSE aspects.

Examples of posters / banner of safety campaign:
