An internal publication of Rotary

Health, Safety and Environment has

always been a part of Rotary. Whenever

we meet our customers, clients and

potential business partners, we put our

best foot forward and that is the way we

do our business, “Smart Thinking. Safe

Hands.” Rotary has proven time and again

that a job is not completed until everyone

is safe. Our team handling HSE, has made

us aware that they cannot work on their

own, but needs the help of each and

everyone working for Rotary, to do things

safely. Our safety statistics remains in the

healthy state. By having a good HSE

record, we are more sought after by

customers and clients who want products

and services that they can rely on and

avoid dealing with losses due to injury

compensations, raised insurance

premiums and industry reputation.

Chairman‟s HSE Message

We therefore strive towards our Safety

Objectives, to achieve Zero fatality, Total

Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR)</=0.6,

Days Away From Work Restricted Transfer

rate (DART)</=0.5. We have to keep in

compliance with the law especially with the

onset of new initiatives and legal

requirements from MOM and WSH. Working

At Heights, the use of MEWPs and entering

Confined Spaces are some activities we

must ensure that our people are ready to

identify hazards and control risks.

“We empower

our employees

to add to the

infrastructure in

strengthening

our safety

monitoring

network

amongst our

staff. Looking

out for each

other and to

intervene when

necessary.“

Cont from Main Page

We should continue to play our part in environmental responsibility and prevent

environmental accidents by reviewing Work Practices and Processes. Managers,

Engineers and all in the value chain must know that by having proper planning

and switching to alternatives that are less likely to cause pollution will make a

difference to our environment. Every member of our team is important to us

and huge efforts are made to ensure we understand the value of having a safe

day at work. Therefore, collectively as a company, we put in effort in

communicating HSE requirements as well as training and shop floor

interventions. We empower our workforce to be able to prevent any work

activity or condition that may result in harm to persons or the environment.

Be safe everyone!

Rotary actively seeks recognition in the

area of HSE as such taking part in

RoSPA, WHSPA etc. We like to continue

to reinforce our safety habits as we

value the safety of every contributing

employee. We empower our employees

to add to the infrastructure in

strengthening our safety monitoring

network amongst our staff. Looking out

for each other and to intervene when

necessary. We expect our managers,

supervisors and leads to maintain a

level of decorum. In their role, they are

influential in providing a pro HSE

environment. They must be committed

in promoting HSE just as well as in

their area of expertise and as leaders,

they must send out good safety

signals. Working safely includes taking

care of the area of health as well. In

our industry, we have to continue to

educate our staff that certain health

risk may not take effect immediately,

and therefore the need for better

controls and awareness on long term

effects should be in place.

Safety Feature -

Donning of Full Body Harness

P a g e 4

Whenever your work activity is located above ground, have your Fall

Protection Plan (FPP) ready. The FPP includes the kinds of fall arrest

systems to be used. The Full Body Harness (FBH) provides the user with a D

Ring Attachment at the back which will be attached to other parts of the fall

arrest system like a Self Retracting Lifeline (Fall arrest block) or a twin

legged land-yard with an energy absorber.

A properly worn and fitted FBH is designed to hold on to its user during fall

arrest. It prevents the user from experiencing the full force concentrated on

a small area of the body that will cause severe injury. Instead, it allows the

arresting forces to be divided and spread throughout several points of the

body, to minimize injury.

Remember to check your Personal Fall Arrest System before using them.

This includes Full Body Harness, Twin Legged Land-yard with Energy

Absorber, Self Retracting Lifeline, Horizontal Life Line etc

30th March 2012. The 2nd run of the Working Safely at Heights Workshop was

carried out for a full class of twenty members from the Singapore Institution of

Safety Officers (SISO).

This group comprised of representatives from WAH training centers, ATPs, Oil

and Gas industries, Landscaping, Building and Construction, Marine and

Manufacturing. This enabled the workshop to proceed with active sharing and

enhancing the knowledge of Working Safely at Heights.

Facilitator Ken Lee and Chris Low paced it well and managed to catch some

moments of interaction with the participants during the delicious catered meal

breaks.

“We thank

everyone for their

valuable feedback

and suggestions on

which we can

improve on our

workshop. Thank

for the

encouragement, we

like to continue to

spread the Work At

Height safety

knowledge to

many.”

18th January 2012. RIMC started its Employee Empowerment Program (EEP) at Chevron. The RIMC

maintenance team consisted of workers, supervisors and safety personnel filled the training room

graciously provided by Chevron. We had a guest, Mr John Tan, HES Specialist, Chevron who sat

through the session together with our attentive class.

The participants were enriched by the talk as it supported having a better safety culture. The

Employee Empowerment Program is in our HSEMS (REL-HSEMS-16), that spells out our

responsibilities as employees from workers all the way up to the our Chairman, to be empowered to

intervene and ensure that our business activities do not harm persons or the environment. The talk

included videos on the importance of intervention and In-House videos created by our very own HSE

Support & Training Section with cast from RIMC and RLPL.

The participants were thrilled when familiar faces and colleagues appeared in the video clips that

enhanced the understanding of EEP. Facilitator Chris Low announced that volunteers are welcome to

be featured in our future video clips as this would provide a sense of ownership to the program. The

session ended with Mr John Tan complimenting on how our session was conducted as he too

benefitted.

“It’s always a

challenge

when the

message of

improving

safety culture

has to be

conveyed as

change will be

met with some

resistance. We

will continue

to encourage

Rotary to keep

up our safety

culture.”

Safety Activity @ VOPAK (REI) Trainers from the HSE Support & Training Section went to REI VOPAK maintenance site to

conduct an awareness talk about Working Safely at Height. VOPAK management was also

present to observe the talk and interact with the trainers and Rotary personnel. The trainers

covered the components of the full body harness and the land-yards and how to don the

harness correctly. The REI workers were also brief on how to look for defects and the

correct maintenance of the WAH equipment. At the end of the day, the workers gained

more knowledge and understanding about WAH procedures.

Safety Activity @ Tuas Workshop (REI) A task that has to be carried out on site, in the plant or the workshop has to be planned

properly. All procedures ensure that the people doing the job will be adequately protected

from the elements and the hazards present. REI Engineer Sun He communicates to

Supervisor Tan Thoong Seng on job task and emphasizes that safe work procedures are of

great importance. They go through the details of the risk assessment and task, and check

that resources like logistics, tools, equipment and appropriate Personal Protective Equip-

ment are available for the workers. “Safety starts right from the top, from the planning

stage and we want to ensure that everyone follows our safe procedures in order to improve

productivity and reduce risk.” said Sun He.

CCDS Chairman Visit @ PT REI 7th March 2012. Mr Suhon Lin, CCDS Chairman and his team from Taiwan visited PT Ro-

tary Engineering Indonesia (PT REI). He was keen to understand how Rotary has been

supporting his projects.

Escorted by PT REI Management, Mr Suhon managed to have a closer look of the work area

where the materials undergo processing. The items include elbows, flanges and spools. PT

REI displayed a well trained and motivated team and is indicative in which daily activities

were carried out. Weekly mass tool box meetings, proper material management and safety

training like safety induction courses continue to provide safety awareness amongst the

workforce. Safety banners and other HSE notices are prominently displayed for safety

messages to be communicated to all.

Did You Know…

Idling Vehicle Engine

H S E N e w s

V o l u m e 1 4

A stationary motor vehicle with engine running (idling) wastes fuel and also

causes air pollution. It also causes smell and noise nuisance to the public. In the

long term, idling can damage the engine as it is not running at optimum

temperature for combustion and will contaminate the engine oil and dirty the

spark plugs. Water will also condense at the exhaust and will corrode the system.

Under the Environmental Protection & Management (Vehicular Emissions)

Regulations, it is stated that “..the driver of every motor vehicle shall, when the

vehicle is stationary for reasons other than traffic conditions, stop the engine of

or other machinery attached to or forming the vehicle...Any person who fails to

comply….shall be guilty of an offense.” The penalty of the offense is a

composition fine of SGD$70 to a court fine

not exceeding SGD$5,000.

However, exemptions are made for traffic

conditions, on board machinery for

ancillary purpose such as cranes, taxis &

buses waiting in queue for passengers, law

enforcement or emergency purpose such

as ambulances and vehicles under

inspection, maintenance & diagnostics. So

let us all do our part and switch off our

vehicle engine when it is stationary, to

protect the environment and observe the

law.

“...the driver of

every motor

vehicle shall,

when the

vehicle is

stationary for

reasons other

than traffic

conditions, stop

the engine of or

other machinery

attached to or

forming the

vehicle...Any

person who fails

to comply...shall

be guilty of an

offense.”

As of February 2012, signage of „Reverse Parking‟ has

been put up at REL JI Building parking facilities.

By reverse parking we are able to prevent incidents as

reversing into a parking bay is safer than reversing onto

the road with moving traffic or pedestrians. It is also

safer to move off from a parking bay by driving forward

where the driver‟s angle of vision is better.

When executing a reverse parking,

Ensure that the parking bay is free from objects, oil

or human traffic.

Ensure that your vehicle is not too big or too long

for the parking bay.

Ensure that your rear view and side mirrors are

clear and able to assist you to keep a look out for

pedestrians and obstructions.

Do not completely rely on the reverse sensors but

use your senses like your sight and hearing to

detect danger.

The myth

You don‟t need to secure the load if you‟re

just driving down the road.

The reality

If not properly secured, vehicle loads can become unsafe, even over a short distance. Loads that haven't been firmly tied down increase the risk of vehicle rollover and spillage. They risk the lives of drivers and other road users, and can also cause annoying traffic disruption. Don't take the risk – make sure your load is restrained and contained!
