plan (OSHMP20) which emphasizes on OSH

sharing and networking. DOSH embraces the

idea of Mentor-Mentee to help alleviate OSH

standard in small and medium enterprises. MSOSH, being the pioneer OSH NGO

should take the lead and provide the forum of

expertise which can be referred to by the indus-

try and authority when required. The following future initiatives were present-

Kita dikejutkan dengan satu lagi berita kemalangan yang meli-

batkan nyawa orang awam. Sebuah ‘Piling Rig’ telah tumbang

dan menimpa sebuah kenderaan awam yang sedang melalui jalan

bersebelahan kawasan pembinaan tersebut. Kedua-dua mangsa

yang berada di dalam kereta tersebut meninggal dunia di tempat

kejadian. Justeru itu, kami Persatuan Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Peker-

jaan (MSOSH) mengambil pendekatan untuk menunggu laporan

lengkap sebelum boleh mencadangkan implementasi program

Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan (KKP) yang lebih effecktif

untuk mengelakkan kejadian sama berulang. Walau bagaimanapun, MSOSH berharap agar pihak Jabatan

Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan (JKKP) dapat mengambil

tindakan yang tegas kepada mana-mana pihak yang didapati ber-

salah menjadi punca kemalangan ini berlaku. Peruntukan undang

– undang2 AKTA KESELAMATAN DAN KESIHATAN

PEKERJAAN 1994 (OSHA) harus digunakan sepenuhnya untuk

mendakwa pihak yang gagal menjalankan tanggungjawab dan

kewajipan yang telah ditetapkan seperti Majikan, Pengurus

Tapak, Penyelia, Pegawai Keselamatan atau Pekerja. MSOSH yakin hukuman yang tegas dapat memberi pengajaran

kepada pihak yang terlibat agar kepentingan Keselamatan dan

Kesihatan Pekerjaan (KKP) dalam setiap aktiviti industri diambil

serius oleh semua pihak. MSOSH mengambil peluang ini untuk menyeru semua Majikan

yang menjalankan aktiviti berisiko tinggi untuk menekankan

aspek pencegahan kemalangan yang lebih efektif. Ini kerana,

sebarang kecuaian boleh menyebabkan kehilangan nyawa pekerja

atau orang awam. Ini sejajar dengan kehendak Pelan Tindakan

Keselamatan dan Kesihatan 2020 yang telah dilancarkan oleh

Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Menteri pada tahun ini. Sejajar dengan semangat untuk memperkasa Pengamal OSH di

Malaysia, MSOSH amat berharap agar peranan Pengamal Kesela-

matan dan Kesihatan harus dijadikan satu keutamaan dalam men-

jalankan apa-apa aktiviti berisiko tinggi. Ruang dan peluang serta

sokongan dari pihak pengurusan organisasi dilihat amat perlu

dalam usaha pengamal keselamatan dan kesihatan untuk memas-

tikan organisasi bergerak ke arah menjamin tempat kerja yg

selamat bagi pekerja dan orang awam. Selain itu, MSOSH juga menyeru pihak masyarakat agar lebih

peka terhadap projek-projek yang sedang dijalankan di sekitar

kita semua. Walaupun masyarakat awam kurang mahir dari aspek

teknikal, namun ada waktunya keadaan kawasan kerja yang boleh

mendatangkan bahaya kepada orang awam boleh dilihat dengan

jelas. Justeru itu, aduan dari masyarakat awam adalah di alu-alukan untuk disalurkan kepada mana-mana Pejabat Jabatan

Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan (JKKP) Negeri masing-masing. MSOSH sekali lagi menegaskan, punca kemalangan seperti ini

harus disiasat secara menyeluruh dan tindakan tegas harus di

ambil terhadap pihak yang gagal menjalankan tanggungjawab

mereka. MSOSH sentiasa bersedia untuk bekerjasama dengan

mana-mana pihak yang memerlukan bantuan dalam bidang

Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan agar Budaya Kerja

Selamat diterima oleh semua.

Smart OSH Tool Series: Dynamic HIRARC for OSH Practitioner

MSOSH continues to proactively organise educational programs for OSH

practitioners especially for their members. After Kuantan, the training program has moved to Pasir Gudang, Johor

on 15 Sep 2016 for the topic of Smart OSH Tool Series: Dynamic HIRARC

for OSH Practitioner delivered by Mr . Daman Hur i Mohammad, a

Management System Auditor from certification body. Interestingly, this exercise used a simple and effective technique in as-

sessing risks in the workplace through a dynamic HIRARC (Hazard Identi-

fication, Risk Assessment and Risk Control) template. Hence, this program

targeted those who want to reduce workload in OSH management system

duties in a smart way. Therefore, the session attracted 24 participants who wanted to experience

how the HIRARC program works and benefits their routine tasks. Training approaches began with fundamental understanding of hazard-risk before the practical session in utilisation of HIRARC template. The program gained positive feedback and the participants were very excit-

ed about the training techniques delivered through a combination of basic

understanding of hazard management by incorporating elements of the in-

teractive OSH management system tools that can ensure the OSH systems

to become more productive in implementation. Any organisation who is keen to invite MSOSH for in-house training or

consultancy, kindly contact our secretariat at [email protected] for

Persiapan menghadapi bencana bukan hanya terletak kepada

kelengkapan peralatan, kemudahan infrastuktur dan bantuan

anggota penyelamat semata-mata, malah merangkumi aspek

persediaan mentaliti masyarakat khususnya mereka yang

berdepan risko bencana. Sempena Bulan Kesiapsiagaan Negara, Persatuan Kese-lamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan Malaysia (MSOSH) dengan

kerjasama Pertubuhan Keselamatan

Sosial (PERKESO) selain sokong-an Agensi Pengurusan Bencana

Negara (NADMA), Angkatan Per-tahanan Awam Malaysia (APM),

Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat

Malaysia (JBPM) berganding bahu

dalam misi mendidik serta

mengubah tanggapan masyarakat

untuk tidak memandang ringan

bencana yang bakal dihadapi

melalui program Pengurusan Risiko

Bencana Berasaskan Masyarakat

(CBDRM) yang julung kali di-adakan di Malaysia oleh pengamal

Kesihatan , Keselamatan dan Per-sekitaran (HSE). Kampung Seberang Temerloh,

Pajang, dipilih sebagai lokasi

menjayakan program tanggung-jawab sosial (CSR) oleh sukare-lawan terdiri dari pengamal HSE

memandangkan ia adalah satu

kawasan yang kerap dilanda banjir

di negeri ini. Menerusi program CBDRM yang

berlangsung selama tiga hari itu,

penduduk kampung terbabit dan

pengamal HSE dari pelbagai agensi

di bawah MSOSH duduk bersama

mengenalpasti, menganalisis, mela-kukan pemantauan dan penilaian

risiko bencana sebagai usaha

mengurangkan risiko bencana serta

memperkuatkan daya tahan masya-rakat dengan melakukan perbin-cangan selain meninjau keadaan

sebenar di kawasan yang kerap berlaku banjir itu. Ketua Fasilitator, Mohd Zainoor Annuar Mohd Zain

berkata, program itu adalah inisiatif penting dilakukan agensi

terbabit memandangkan masyarakat adalah tonggak utama

membuat keputusan dan penerapan tindakan apabila berde-pan risiko bencana “Berdasarkan pemerhatian dijalankan, masyarakat yang

kerap berdepan bencana kebanyakannya sedar tindakan yang

perlu dilakukan apabila berdepan bencana kerana kekerapan

mereka berdepan situasi sama. “Bagaimanapun, kerana kerap berdepan perkara sama,

mereka menjadi terbiasa dan memandang ringan ke-mungkinan bencana dihadapi akan bertukar serius dan

menjadi tragedi besar. “Oleh itu, CBDRM adalah program yang tepat diadakan

bagi mengubah cara pemikiran masyarakat

yang kerap berdepan risiko bencana supaya

cakna dengan tindakan menghadapi ben-cana.” katanya ketika ditemui. Katanya, CBDRM juga adalah program

yang sesuai untuk menetapkan pemahaman

dan melatih masyarakat supaya tidak

bergantung sepenuhnya kepada agensi

penyelamat setiap kali berlaku bencana. “ Setiap kali bencana, segelintir masya-rakat kita lebih ‘selesa’ menunggu disela-matkan agensi penyelamat berbanding ber-

tindak sendiri sehingga situasi meruncing

baru mahu berfikir cara untuk selamatkan

diri” “Pemikiran seperti ini kita mahu ubah

supaya tidak menjadi budaya apabila

berlaku bencana” katanya. Mohd Zainoor berkata, aktiviti ‘hazard

mapping’ dalam modiul program CBD-RM bertujuan membantu mengenalpasti

bahaya dihadapi penduduk di kawasan

banjir di kampung berkenaan. Melaluinya, penduduk membawa pega-wai keselamatan bersama ke kawasan

terdedah bahaya seperti di pesisir sungai

dan laluan kecemasan serta zon selamat

yang digunakan ketika banjir. “Kami saling berkongsi idea dan

bertukar kaedah menyelamatkan diri

serta saling mengenalpasti ancaman baha-ya ketika banjir’” katanya. Menurutnya, berdasarkan aktiviti

‘hazard mapping’ dilakukan pihaknya,

mendapati ada penduduk sedar laluan

kecemasan yang diwujudkan di kampung

berkenaan “Namun, disebabkan panik dan kurang pendedahan tindakan

berdepan bencana mereka kerap bertindak bersendirian”

katanya yang turut mendapat kerjasama kumpulan motosikal

berkuasa tinggi Johor Versys Owner Group (JVOG). Program ini dirasmikan oleh Presiden MSOSH En

Khairuddin Hairan dan diatur oleh Cik Dhuha Shahrudin.

Research has shown that following a

healthy eating plan can reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure or hypertension and lower an exist-ing elevated blood pressure. Knowing what you eat can serve to provide Malaysians with information on this chronic illness and create awareness of atrial fibrilla-tion – arrhythmias, or in simple terms ‘irregular heart beat’, often caused by hypertension. This article is to promote public awareness of hypertension and to encourage citizens of all countries to prevent and control this silent killer, also known as the modern epidemic. Globally, one in three adults suffers from hyperten-sion. Statistics show that 42.6% of Malaysians above the age of 30 have high blood pressure while one in five under 50 years old is at risk of hypertension and heart attack. For every patient diagnosed with hyper-tension, there may be another three still undiagnosed. If left undiagnosed, high blood pressure can lead to high cholesterol and diabetes, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke and even kidney failure. High blood pressure is the main cause of strokes and a ma-jor cause of heart attacks and heart failures, the two most common causes of death and illness in the world. Most patients who suffer heart attacks or strokes find out, too late, that the root cause of their condition is hypertension.

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE High blood pressure is both treatable and preventable.

The conventional way to treat hypertension is to solely

depend on drugs and medicines. However, the world

has begun to realise that hypertension can be prevent-

ed or controlled by a change in diet and lifestyle. Often,

the change is at least as important (if not more im-

portant) than taking medicine.

The risk of developing high blood pressure can be

reduced by: • Reducing sodium intake (limit to 2000mg of sodi-

um or 1 teaspoon of salt per day) • Increasing potassium intake (recommended intake is

4.7g of Potassium) – by using Potassium salt and

consuming at least 2 servings of fruit and 3 servings

of vegetables every day. • eating a balanced diet at each meal – choose a combi-

nation of foods based on the Malaysian Food Pyramid

• maintaining a healthy body weight within a normal Body

Mass Index BMI) of 18.5-24.9 [BMI=weight(kg)/height

(m)²] • avoiding harmful use of alcohol - the current recom-

mended limits are 21 units of alcohol a week for men,

and 14 units a week for women • getting regular exercise (at least 30 minutes of moder-

ate-intensity physical activity at least 5-6 days a week) • avoiding tobacco use

PLAN TO BE HEALTHY An overall healthy eating plan to follow is the “DASH”

diet, which stands for “Dietary Approaches to Stop

Hypertension.” A study tested the effects of nutrients in

food on blood pressure and showed that elevated

blood pressure was reduced by eating more fruit and

vegetables, and less food with saturated fat, total fat,

and cholesterol. Fruit and vegetables are full of vita-

mins, minerals and fibre essential for our bodies. They

also contain potassium, which helps to balance out the

negative effects of salt, thereby helping to lower blood

pressure. In addition to incorporating a healthier eating plan to

your daily diet, a good alternative is to reduce the salt

content of these foods. The simplest way is to change

the salt in your kitchen to a low-sodium, high mineral

salt which will make a significant difference to your

diet. Low sodium salts have a much lower sodium content

compared to other salts, and contain a balance of all

the essential minerals your body needs - potassium,

magnesium and calcium. Low sodium salts can be

used in any of your favourite foods and will not com-

promise on the taste. Low sodium salts contain potas-

sium chloride which supplements the saltiness of sodi-

um chloride. Choosing a low sodium

salt also means that

the lower sodium in-

take will aid in lowering

your blood pressure

levels, and help you

avoid all the other dan-

gerous diseases that it

causes. So for a

healthier eating plan

and longer life span,

choose Lake Salt

LIGHT! With 50% lower

sodium than regular

salt, Lake Salt LIGHT

is ready to be your

choice. For more details on this product, feel free to contact LCP Supplies (M) Sdn Bhd at Tel: 03-80668587. Fax: 03- 80668487 E- mail: [email protected] Website: www.finefoods.com.my

OUTSTANDING SPEAKERS

MSOSH has taken the initiatives to address the issues and challenges in achieving the nation’s OSH objectives as outlined in the OSH-Master Plan 2020 (OSH MP2020) One of the key success factors is the competency of the OSH practitioners and the vital role they play in implementing safe works procedures and monitoring safe work practices at the worksites. They are both the eyes and ears of the employers and employees they represent. They therefore need to display high professionalism in their work and effectiveness in the man-agement of OSH on a daily basis. A special program OSH-MP2020 :Towards Professionalism was organized on the 29th November in Monash University has attracted a big group of participants. Three outstanding speakers were invited to share their topics and experiences. A dialogue session with En Anuar Embi from DOSH Selangor concluded the eventful program.
