OSH Practisioner: It is a noble job

I believed, there is not such job post where he puts his effort to ensure the workplace is safe and healthy for people to work... like OSH Practisioner. I thought that I'm not good in writing, but I believed I can contribute something in OSH. But, it purely depends on you what you can contribute to OSH... I'm trying my best to sell safety from different point of view... not really focus on management system, technical safety, OSH leadership etc... I will sell it from human point of view....

For me, awareness is very important for each of us to know that on how important is our life... We only live ONCE in this world. BUT, as a human, you can't see the importance of our life once you lost it...
- you don't know how valuable of your eyes once you can't see
- you don't know the important of your hand once it amputated
- you don't know how important is your leg once you can't walk normally etc
this is common for us as a human...

We must remember, to educate people is not an easy task... human has different types of background in terms of
1. cultures
2. education
3. religion
4. races etc
So, to make a safe & healthy workplace, it is not a "destination". It's journey, never ended journey. That's why, I believed that this type of job is a preach ("dakwah, tarbiyah") type of job. If this principle is cemented among OSH Practisioners, trust me we do this is not purely because our job nature. Because we want it, we treasure every single people's life.

Our Prophet, Muhammad SAW said "tidak sempurna iman seseorang itu jika dia tidak mencintai saudaranya sebagai mana dia mencintai dirinya sendiri".

OPS Sikap-23: Is it effective?

1. Today is the first day of Ops Sikap-23 for 12 days. This is because Chinese New Year festival will be next week and there will be a heavy traffic starting tomorrow for holiday.

2. I just wondering whether Ops Sikap can really change the Malaysian's "sikap" (attitude) while driving on the road? Last year statistics (2010) as mentioned by PDRM (Utusan, 27-Jan-2011), the total deaths are 6872!! 19 fatalities accident/day...

3. To change "sikap" (attidude), it is a long and continual process. We can't change driver's attitude during the OPS only. We must do it everyday. The enforcement bodies play an important role, discipline our drivers!! No other way... If they make an offense, issue a ticket. No compromise (whether you are VIP, somebody's friend or son), no discount, follow the rules & lead by example.

4. Improve our enforcement system, link it to JPJ database system. Use merit/demerit system, penalize the drivers (and also their employer if it involved any industries or companies).

5. Improve driving schools syllabus if necessary if the root cause of the accident is from the driver's competency.

6. Educate the kids & public about road safety. Hopefully all of us can play our role to become a behave society on road.

7. IMPROVE Public Transport System, inculcate Malaysian to use public transport (if our public transport system is efficient then!).

Time to re-energize my writing

It's time for to start blogging again... my last post was 6 months ago, and I think there are lots of ideas & observations that I can share with people who has passion in HSE.

After I gave few trainings for the past 1 month, I believe there are people in our society are not aware on the importance of HSE in their life. They know about HSE, BUT they ignore it... insya allah, I will try my best to share my ideas and observation.

Your inputs & comments are highly appreciated.
