Safety in the Workplace
Jason is working towards OHSAS18001 certifica‐
tion and you will be involved with or affected by
some aspects of the implementation. I believe
staff have most to gain from such practices and
like to share with you my experience of and wish
for the safety aspect of OHSA at the workplace.
In a nutshell, safety at the workplace is about
keeping oneself, and those around us, safe from
injury and fatality. It is the responsibility of eve‐
ryone. An unsafe act like spilling liquid on the
floor and not cleaning up may cause oneself to
slip, fall and injure oneself. It may also cause oth‐
ers to slip, fall and injure themselves. When it
does, people call it an accident. But it is an acci‐
dent that is preventable as it would not have
happened had the spill been cleaned up. Practi‐
cally all the accidents that I know of and were
investigated later showed that they could have
been avoided if only the actor spared a thought
for safety or if someone who is conscious about
safety noticed the unsafe condition and acted on
it.
If you consciously practise safety it will become a
habit. After awhile it will be second nature to
you. In fact people who develop this habit tend
to bring the practice home and reduce accidents
in their home.
Studies have shown that more accidents happen
in the home than in the workplace. Slips and falls
are common. Walking into opened doors, knock‐
ing over drinking glasses placed too close to the
edges, and tripping over clothing or cords left on
the floor are some of the more common acci‐
dents that can be prevented simply by doing
things with safety in mind and acting on unsafe
conditions.
So, the next time think of safety before you act
and if you see an unsafe situation remove the
threat or inform someone who can do so. You
will prevent an accident. If we all do our part,
there will be safety in the workplaces, in the
homes, and I hope throughout the nation. Apart
from the injuries and fatalities we prevented,
wouldn’t it be nice to be
renown for being a safety
consciousness society hav‐
ing the least accidents per
person than any other
countries?
Stuff that matters in Jason.

Jason store receiving at unit #06‐01 to paste a notice/notification for the opera‐
tion hour as sometimes the person‐in charge will be away or not available. It is
to prevent the many incidents where the supplier/DHL deliver the goods direct
to unit #06‐01 but the door is closed without any notification.
Imple‐mented
OHSAS Internal Auditor Training In line with the company’s plan to be OHSAS 18001:2007 certified by the end of 2012, several mem‐
bers of the working committee have undergone a training by Mr. Tan Boon Leong, our consultant for
the integration project of Quality (ISO 9001:2008) and Occupational Health & Safety (OHSAS
18001:2007) Management Systems. Others were identified for other OHS‐related trainings such as
Occupational First Aid and bizSAFE Course on Risk Management (Level 2).
In early Aug 2012, the following representatives from the OHSAS Working Committee attended the
OHSAS Internal Auditor Training:
During the 2 half‐day sessions, we learnt to use process approach auditing to determine the effective‐
ness of the management systems through objective sampling. Using a Plan‐Do‐Check‐Act cycle, we
carried out internal audits involving Service Department, with Ong Guan Kun and Chua Sin Tat as
auditees, and Logistics Department, with Leslie Ho as auditee.
In line with the plan, we will have a Management Review before the external audit in Sep/Oct 2012.

15th June 2012, the date, I will never forget for the rest of my life. The date that we have been longing for, has finally ar‐rived. It was the Transnational Practical Workshop Programme organized by UniSA (University of South Australia) for students who studies Offshore as part of graduation requirements. The duration of the whole pro‐gramme was 2 weeks with all the living expenses coming out from our own pocket money (which is kind of hard). The programme was held at Adelaide, South Australia. Not many people have heard of this place but I feel that this is the most laid back and tranquil place I have ever been. Every‐thing is slow paced mode unlike Singapore which has fast paced and busy lifestyle whereby a good relaxing meal is a rarity. First week of the programme was more into industrial & cul‐tural visits to understand more about the electronic and electrical engineering industries
as well as the local cultures such as Australia’s very own animals and landmarks. We vis‐ited industries such as BAE (Defense Company just like DSTA) and Redarc (Automation Company) whilst for the cul‐tural visits we visited Cleland Wildlife Park (see the Koala in photo?), Mt Lofty Summit (The coldest summit in Adelaide) and Glenelg beach (Most beau‐tiful beach in Adelaide). Second week of the programme was 3 hours of Practical Lab sessions every lessson. Although it was Lab sessions, it was held in a relaxing mood with no pressure at all. I personally enjoyed every single bits of the session. What I like most about the pro‐gramme is the eye‐opening ex‐perience on the Australia's in‐dustries. The structure of the companies there, is more or‐ganised and structured. As for project wise the managers will have a weekly follow‐up meet‐ings (according to the industry tour guide). And of course their
items storage is more neater and easily accessible to other people. I especially remember vividly on one of the visits to the factory which manufac‐tured plane parts (Sadly, no camera allowed). They have 1 project which involves coopera‐tion between few countries (Singapore is one of them) and they showed us how they keep track on managing the projects as well as the schedules. They pasted the schedules, discus‐sions, planning, etc on a notice board for everyone to see so that everyone will be con‐stantly feed with up‐to‐date information. Something that we can implement here? Well perhaps. We shall see how it fits.. Overall, it was an enjoyable ex‐perience to live independently in another country and look forward to another similar ex‐perience. And hopefully what I have learnt can be imple‐mented in my current job.
