Safety Post

People in nrg-masho email group are busy discussing about the difference between Safety Officer, Safety Executive, Safety Engineer & Safety Manager.

For those who are familiar with Human Resource discipline, all the above posts are differentiate based on their academic qualifications, competencies and/or experience. It's not easy to discuss this issue without looking the holistic view of the organization/project background....

So, the best answer that I can think right now is, back to the basic principle of OSH in Malaysia i.e. Occupational Safety & Health Act (OSHA) & Factory Machinery Act (FMA).

Secondly, look at the title used after the word "Safety" i.e. Officer, Executive, Engineer & Manager... so open the dictionary & get the definition of each words... I think, we already solve the above issue :)

Lifting Activity (Part2)

Wokay, after thorough discussion with project owner, main contractor & lifting contractor, alhamdulillah no unwanted incident happen... below are some photos during the lifting activity..

This is the "boyz" weight 18 tonnes
The front wire ropes are the main lifter, all the loads concentrated on this crane. The back wire rope is used to support the genset during the positioning of the genset

The 2nd crane played a role once the genset already sitting on the plinth. The front wire rope will be lowered & released slowly since it is still the main crane to support the genset.

Lifting Activity (Part1)

Last Thursday was a busy day for me... busy supervising lifting activities at my workplace... currently, I'm handling a project installing a new DDUPS (genset for power backup).

Well, there are 3 gensets arrived... the weight, hemmm roughly almost 19 tonnes... the length around 6 meters x 2.4m width..... need to put these monsters on the 2nd floor of our central utilities building (CUB)... the height is roughly around 6 meters...

Before the activity was performed, did discussed thoroughly with the main contractor & also the lifting contractors... initially, I did requested to installed cantilever but it's not practical (+ it quite expensive of course)... so the lifting contractors proposed to used TWO 60 tonnes mobile crane to lift the genset... BUT, before we really start the activity, my supervisor asked me to do some calculations on the lifting activity... calculate the angle, the minimum length of the genset on the plith, the available space for the genset move in, the length of the cable to ensure the cable will not damage the wall (the edge of CUB)... so, manage to calculate it & established Method Statement of lifting agreed by the contractor... will post all the calculations & photos in next posting....
