Some Terminologies
• Safety
• Health
• Chronic
• Acute
• Hazard
• Risk
• Accident
• Incident
• Near Miss
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Safety and Health
• Safety = the absence of: (i) injury and harm on
human and (ii) damage on property and the
environment
• Opposite of safety = accident
• Health = a state of physical and mental well-being
– including the absence of disease or infirmity.
• Safety deals with acute effects of hazards
• Health issue deals with chronic effects of hazards
• Chronic: persistent, prolonged and repeated
• Acute: immediate, short term
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Hazard versus Risk
▪ Hazard = a condition that has the potential to
cause human injury or fatality, damage to
property, damage to the environment or some
combination of these.
▪ Risk = a measure of human injury,
environmental damage, or economic loss in
terms of both the incident likelihood and the
magnitude of the loss or injury.
▪ In other words, risk = a chance of injury or
loss or bad consequences to happen.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–

• The work environment
• Equipment/plant/process
• Substances/materials
• Work system

Hazard Control Hierarchy
No. Control Method Description/Example
1. Eliminate Completely remove the hazard from the workplace so
that it is not there.
2. Substitute Replace the material or process with a less hazardous
one.
3. Isolate Place a barrier or similar between the hazard and
people within the workplace (e.g. a fence surrounding
the hazard).
4. Engineering
controls
Install or using additional machinery. (e.g ventilation
system, guarding on machinery, sensor system).
5. Administrative
controls
Safety briefings, safety trainings, work procedure,
safety awareness signage.
6. PPE “Last line of defence” to protect a worker if the above
measures have failed.

Personal Protective Equipment
Considered as a last resort in hazard control
because:
• Only protects one person.
• Only protects if it is worn properly.
• Difficulties with fit, practicalities of use,
ergonomics, etc.
• Difficulties with enforcement of use.
• Other on-going management issues such as
training, replacement, repair.

Incident versus Accident
• Incident: all undesired circumstances that have
the potential to cause accidents.
• Accident: a sequence of events that produce
unintended injury, damage to property or the
environment, production losses, or increased
liabilities.
• Accident refers to the event, not the results of
the event.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Near Miss……..
• an unplanned event that did
not result in injury, illness,
or damage – but had the
potential to do so.
• another term for this event:
“close call”

Importance of Safety
• Prevention of ...
• Death or injury to workers
• Death and injury to general publics
• Physical and financial damage to the properties/
facilities
• Damage to third party properties
• Damage to the environment
Accident is costly!!!
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Cost of Accidents
Direct Costs
Indirect Costs
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Cost of Accidents
▪ Direct Costs
• costs that are accrued directly from the
accident
• quite easy to calculate
• usually insurable by businesses
▪ Indirect Costs
▪ the less obvious consequences of an
accident that can be costed
▪ While the indirect costs created by
accidents are hidden, they too must be paid
▪ more difficult to calculate and tend not to
be insured
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Examples of Direct Cost of Accidents
▪ Medical costs incurred and the compensation
payments made to the injured workers
▪ Damage to premises, plant and equipment
▪ Sick pay
▪ Overtime to cover injured person
▪ Fines
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Examples of Indirect Cost of Accidents
▪ Loss of an employee's skills and work output
▪ Downtime during investigations and pay of
people investigating
▪ Training costs for replacement operators
▪ Increased Insurance Premiums
▪ Defending criminal and civil prosecutions
▪ Bad publicity
▪ Workplace effects: poor productivity due to
low morale
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Safety is a Good Business
• Decrease workers compensation
• Decrease retraining costs
• Decrease absenteeism
• Reduce production interruption
• Increase productivity
• Increase morale of workers
• Attracting people to work
• Enhancing company’s corporate reputation
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Engineers and Safety
▪ A requirement for engineering degree
programmes
▪ Important aspect in the application for
professional engineer
▪ Non-compliance with safety standards can
severely affect a company’s bottom line.
▪ Engineers who design the workplace and its
equipment or who manage and supervise
workers need to have an understanding of the
safety and health regulation.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Code of Ethics
Engineering is an important and learned profession.
As members of this profession, engineers are
expected to exhibit the highest standards of honesty
and integrity. Engineering has a direct and vital
impact on the quality of life for all people.
Accordingly, the services provided by engineers
require honesty, impartiality, fairness and equity,
and must be dedicated to the protection of the
public health, safety, and welfare. Engineers must
perform under a standard of professional behavior
that requires adherence to the highest principles of
ethical conduct.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Engineering Ethics: Engineers shall hold
paramount the safety, health, and
welfare of the public in the
performance of their professional
duties.

Theories of Accident Causation
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Why do accidents occur?
• We choose to handle dangerous processes,
materials, energies
▪ To make a living
▪ To provide society with desirable products
• As long as we choose to handle them, a
potential for loss events exist.
Things can be done to reduce their
likelihood and severity to negligible or
tolerable levels.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
How do accidents occur?
• There are several theories that
attempt to explain the occurrence
of accidents.
▪ Domino theory
▪ Human factors theory
▪ Swiss cheese model
▪ Accident/incident theory
▪ Sociotechnical system framework
▪ Epidemiological Theory
▪ Systems Theory
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Domino Theory
• Herbert W. Heinrich, an early pioneer of
accident prevention and industrial safety.
• He studied 75,000 reports of accidents for
insurance claims and concluded:
▪ 88% of industrial accidents are caused
by unsafe acts committed by workers
▪ 10% of industrial accidents
are caused by unsafe
conditions
▪ 2% of industrial accidents
are unavoidable.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Heinrich’s Axiom of Industrial Safety
1. Injuries result from a complete series of
factors, one of which is the accident itself
2. An accident can occur as a result of unsafe act
and/or unsafe conditions
3. Most accidents are the result of unsafe
behaviour by people
4. An unsafe act or an unsafe conditions does not
immediately result in an accident/injury;
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Heinrich’s Axiom of Industrial Safety
5. The reasons why people commit unsafe acts
can serve as helpful guides in selecting
corrective actions.
6. The severity of an accident is largely
fortuitous and the factors that cause it are
largely preventable.
7. The prevention techniques are analogous with
the best quality and productivity techniques.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Heinrich’s Axiom of Industrial Safety
8. Management should assume responsibility for
safety because it is in the best position to get
results.
9. The supervisor is the key person in the
prevention of industrial accidents.
10. In addition to the direct costs of an accident
(i.e. compensation, liability claims, medical
costs, and hospital expenses) there are also
hidden or indirect costs.

Health,Safety&Environmtn–

5 factors in the sequence of events leading
up to an accident
• Ancestry and social environment
▪ Negative character traits that might lead people to
behave in an unsafe manner can be inherited or
acquired as a result of the social environment.
• Fault of a person
▪ Negative character traits, whether inherited or
acquired, are why people behave in unsafe
manner and why hazardous conditions exist.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
5 factors in the sequence of events leading
up to an accident
• Unsafe act/Unsafe conditions
▪ Unsafe acts committed by people
▪ Unsafe conditions due to the presence of
mechanical/physical hazards
• Accidents
• Injury
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Domino Theory
• A personal injury (the final domino) occurs only as a
result of an accident.
• An accident occurs only as a result of a personal or
mechanical hazard.
• Personal and mechanical hazards exist only through
the fault of careless persons or poorly designed or
improperly maintained equipment.
• Faults of persons are inherited or acquired as a result
of their social environment or acquired by ancestry.
• The environment is where and how a person was
raised and educated.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Heinrich’s theory has two central points:
1. Injuries are caused by the action of
preceding factors
2. Removal of the central factor (unsafe
acts/hazardous conditions) negates the
action of the preceding factors and, in so
doing, prevents accidents and injuries.

Human Factors Theory
Overload
Inappropriate
response
Inappropriate
activities
Attributes accidents to a chain of events that
were ultimately the result of human error.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Overload
• An imbalance between a person’s capacity at
any given time and the load that a person is
carrying in a given state.
• A person’s capacity is
the product of such
factors as his/her
ability, training, state of
mind, fatigue, stress,
and physical conditions.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Overload
• Added burden resulting
from
▪ Environmental factors
(noise, distractions, etc.);
▪ Situational factors (level of
risks, unclear instructions,
etc.); and
▪ Internal factors (personal
problems, emotional stress,
worry, etc.)
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Inappropriate Response
• How a person responds in a given situation can
cause or prevent an accident.
• Inappropriate response include:
▪ A person detects a hazardous condition but does
nothing to correct it;
▪ A person removes a safeguard from a machine in an
effort to increase output; or
▪ A person disregards an established safety procedure
• Such responses can lead to accidents.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Inappropriate Activities
• Examples of inappropriate
activities include:
▪ A person undertaking a task he or
she doesn’t know how to do
(performing tasks without
requisite training)
▪ A person misjudging the degree of
risk involved in a given task and
proceeding based on that
misjudgment.

Swiss Cheese Model
• The Swiss Cheese Model of Accident Causation
suggests that systemic failures, or accidents,
occur from a series of events at different layers
of an organization.
• A system is similar to slices of Swiss cheese
• There are holes which represent opportunities
for failure, and each slice is a layer of the
system.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Swiss Cheese Model
• When holes in the layers line up, a loss (or
accident) occurs
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Swiss Cheese Model
• Each layer of the system is an opportunity to
stop an error; the more layers, the less likely an
accident is to occur.

Lessons from the Past Disasters
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Learning from Past Experiences
• Kletz* recommended four ways for organisations to
learn from past experience:
▪ Recent and old accidents should be described in safety
bulletins and discussed at safety meetings
▪ standards and codes of practice should contain notes on
accidents which led to the recommendations
▪ a 'black book' containing reports of accidents with
technical interest that have occurred should be
compulsory reading for all newcomers and for refreshing
memories
▪ accident information retrieval and storage systems should
be used as they contain a wealth of useful information

Safety Culture
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Safety Culture
• Culture can be seen as a concept that describes
the shared corporate values within an organisation
which influences the attitudes and behaviours of
all of its members.
• Safety culture is a part of the overall culture of
the organisation and is seen as affecting the
attitudes and beliefs of members in terms of
health and safety performance.
• In other words, safety culture is the attitudes,
values, norms, and beliefs that a particular group
of people share with respect to risk and safety
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Safety Culture
• Safety culture refers to the extent to which
individuals and groups in the organisation will
commit to:
▪ personal responsibility for safety
▪ act to preserve safety
▪ enhance and communicate safety concerns
▪ strive to actively learn
▪ adapt and modify behavior based on lessons learned
from mistakes
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Safety Culture
• A “good” safety culture can be promoted by four
factors:
▪ “senior management commitment to safety”
▪ realistic and flexible customs and practices for
handling both well-defined and ill-defined hazards
▪ continuous organisational learning through
practices such as feedback systems, monitoring
and analysing
▪ a care and concern for hazards which is shared
across the workforce.

Safety Legislation and
Regulations
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Legislation, Act and Regulation
• Legislation is a law passed by a legislative body
such as a Parliament or State Legislature.
• A law is considered to be an act when it has
already been duly passed by a legislative body.
• A regulation, on the other hand, is one that is
approved by a group of individuals based on an
act that has already been passed. These
regulations are based on the act that has been
approved and served as a means to make the act
a lot easier to follow and adhere to. For this
reason, one act can have numerous regulations.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Evolution of OSH Legislation
• OSH Legislation in Malaysia
was based on the
traditional approach
derived from 19th Century
British Legislation
• The industrial revolution in
Britain resulted in some
unsafe and unhealthy
working conditions plus a
high numbers of injury and
disease.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Evolution of OSH Legislation
• Legislation to overcome this problem was
introduced very slowly.
• In 1844, specific safety provisions addressed the
"fencing of dangerous machinery."
• Later Acts in the latter part of the 19th Century
extended safety provisions to men and to other
industries and hazards.
• British report in 1972: prepared by a committee
of inquiry, chaired by Lord Robens and is known
as the Robens Report.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Evolution of OSH Legislation
• The major recommendations made by Robens
include:
▪ There should be more self regulation by employers
and employees; (for example Safety & Health Officers
and Safety & Health Committees);
▪ There should be a single, comprehensive Act dealing
with occupational safety and health that should
contain a clear statement of the basic principles of
the safety responsibility of employers, employees
and manufacturers, based on common law.
▪ The Act shall be supported by regulations and
voluntary codes with the emphasis on the latter.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Evolution of OSH Legislation
• The Occupational Safety and Health Act in
Malaysia as well as new style safety and health
legislation in the UK and Australia, reflects many
principles that were stated in a British report in
1972.
• In the year 1967, the Factory and Machinery Act
was approved by the Parliament of Malaysia.
• In 1970, the Factory and Machinery Act and eight
regulations under the act were enforced.
• This act was legislated to overcome the
weaknesses in the Machinery Ordinance 1953,
• Workers were not protected if they work in a workplace that
doesn’t use machinery.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Introduction to OSHA 1994
• Occupational Safety and Health Act – 1994
• This legislation was made considering the fact that
the Factory and Machinery Act 1967 only covers
occupational safety and health in the
manufacturing, mining, quarrying and construction
industries, whereas the other industries are not
covered.
• The purpose of Occupational Safety and Health
Act 1994 is to promote and encourage
occupational safety and health awareness among
employers and workers.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Introduction to OSHA 1994
• Main principles that had been taken as the
foundation in the drafting of this Act.
1. Self-regulation
To handle issues relating to occupational safety and
health, employers must develop a good and orderly
management system. Starting with formation of a safety
and health policy and consequently employers have to
make the proper arrangements to be carried out.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Introduction to OSHA 1994
2. Tripartite consultation
where employers, employees and the government
must negotiate to settle issues and problems
relating to occupational safety and health at the
workplace.
3. Co-operation
where employers and employees must co-operate to
take care, nurture and to increase the quality of
occupational safety and health at the workplace.
Without co-operation between employers and
employees, none of the occupational safety and
health programmes carried out would succeed.
Health,Safety&Environmtn–
CGE653
Application of OSHA 1994

Case study 1
A supply of liquid ammonia is required to meet the demand
of an ammonia injection program at an EOR facility in
Sabah. The facility is located 70km off the coast of Labuan
and the closet ammonia source is the Asean Bintulu
Fertilizer in Bintulu, Sarawak. Ammonia is a corrosive and a
known to have carcinogenic properties in its liquid phase. If
the injection facility requires 10kbd ammonia and ABF has a
storage capacity of 5000 MT at bintulu port. work out a high
level HSE strategy for the delivery of ammonia for a 3 week
injection campaign.
Case study 2
The following schematic represents a typical produced water
management process for a producing facility. The injection of surfactants
and polymers have been planned as part of an EOR program at a
particular field 45 km off the coast of Miri, Sarawak. The area development
plan for this field will include a CPP to manage produced water. It is
unclear, from the HSE point of view, what is to be done with the offshore
processed water for which only oil can be removed for safe disposal.
Propose a high level HSE recommendation based on available standards,
codes and good industry practice. Cite examples if possible…

  • 8.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Safety and Health •Safety = the absence of: (i) injury and harm on human and (ii) damage on property and the environment • Opposite of safety = accident • Health = a state of physical and mental well-being – including the absence of disease or infirmity. • Safety deals with acute effects of hazards • Health issue deals with chronic effects of hazards • Chronic: persistent, prolonged and repeated • Acute: immediate, short term
  • 9.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Hazard versus Risk ▪Hazard = a condition that has the potential to cause human injury or fatality, damage to property, damage to the environment or some combination of these. ▪ Risk = a measure of human injury, environmental damage, or economic loss in terms of both the incident likelihood and the magnitude of the loss or injury. ▪ In other words, risk = a chance of injury or loss or bad consequences to happen.

    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Hazard Control Hierarchy No.Control Method Description/Example 1. Eliminate Completely remove the hazard from the workplace so that it is not there. 2. Substitute Replace the material or process with a less hazardous one. 3. Isolate Place a barrier or similar between the hazard and people within the workplace (e.g. a fence surrounding the hazard). 4. Engineering controls Install or using additional machinery. (e.g ventilation system, guarding on machinery, sensor system). 5. Administrative controls Safety briefings, safety trainings, work procedure, safety awareness signage. 6. PPE “Last line of defence” to protect a worker if the above measures have failed.

    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Code of Ethics Engineeringis an important and learned profession. As members of this profession, engineers are expected to exhibit the highest standards of honesty and integrity. Engineering has a direct and vital impact on the quality of life for all people. Accordingly, the services provided by engineers require honesty, impartiality, fairness and equity, and must be dedicated to the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare. Engineers must perform under a standard of professional behavior that requires adherence to the highest principles of ethical conduct.

    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Why do accidentsoccur? • We choose to handle dangerous processes, materials, energies ▪ To make a living ▪ To provide society with desirable products • As long as we choose to handle them, a potential for loss events exist. Things can be done to reduce their likelihood and severity to negligible or tolerable levels.
  • 41.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 How do accidentsoccur? • There are several theories that attempt to explain the occurrence of accidents. ▪ Domino theory ▪ Human factors theory ▪ Swiss cheese model ▪ Accident/incident theory ▪ Sociotechnical system framework ▪ Epidemiological Theory ▪ Systems Theory
  • 42.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Domino Theory • HerbertW. Heinrich, an early pioneer of accident prevention and industrial safety. • He studied 75,000 reports of accidents for insurance claims and concluded: ▪ 88% of industrial accidents are caused by unsafe acts committed by workers ▪ 10% of industrial accidents are caused by unsafe conditions ▪ 2% of industrial accidents are unavoidable.
  • 43.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Heinrich’s Axiom ofIndustrial Safety 1. Injuries result from a complete series of factors, one of which is the accident itself 2. An accident can occur as a result of unsafe act and/or unsafe conditions 3. Most accidents are the result of unsafe behaviour by people 4. An unsafe act or an unsafe conditions does not immediately result in an accident/injury;
  • 44.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Heinrich’s Axiom ofIndustrial Safety 5. The reasons why people commit unsafe acts can serve as helpful guides in selecting corrective actions. 6. The severity of an accident is largely fortuitous and the factors that cause it are largely preventable. 7. The prevention techniques are analogous with the best quality and productivity techniques.
  • 45.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Heinrich’s Axiom ofIndustrial Safety 8. Management should assume responsibility for safety because it is in the best position to get results. 9. The supervisor is the key person in the prevention of industrial accidents. 10. In addition to the direct costs of an accident (i.e. compensation, liability claims, medical costs, and hospital expenses) there are also hidden or indirect costs.

  • 47.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 5 factors inthe sequence of events leading up to an accident • Ancestry and social environment ▪ Negative character traits that might lead people to behave in an unsafe manner can be inherited or acquired as a result of the social environment. • Fault of a person ▪ Negative character traits, whether inherited or acquired, are why people behave in unsafe manner and why hazardous conditions exist.
  • 48.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 5 factors inthe sequence of events leading up to an accident • Unsafe act/Unsafe conditions ▪ Unsafe acts committed by people ▪ Unsafe conditions due to the presence of mechanical/physical hazards • Accidents • Injury
  • 49.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Domino Theory • Apersonal injury (the final domino) occurs only as a result of an accident. • An accident occurs only as a result of a personal or mechanical hazard. • Personal and mechanical hazards exist only through the fault of careless persons or poorly designed or improperly maintained equipment. • Faults of persons are inherited or acquired as a result of their social environment or acquired by ancestry. • The environment is where and how a person was raised and educated.
  • 50.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Heinrich’s theory hastwo central points: 1. Injuries are caused by the action of preceding factors 2. Removal of the central factor (unsafe acts/hazardous conditions) negates the action of the preceding factors and, in so doing, prevents accidents and injuries.

    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Overload • An imbalancebetween a person’s capacity at any given time and the load that a person is carrying in a given state. • A person’s capacity is the product of such factors as his/her ability, training, state of mind, fatigue, stress, and physical conditions.
  • 54.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Overload • Added burdenresulting from ▪ Environmental factors (noise, distractions, etc.); ▪ Situational factors (level of risks, unclear instructions, etc.); and ▪ Internal factors (personal problems, emotional stress, worry, etc.)
  • 55.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Inappropriate Response • Howa person responds in a given situation can cause or prevent an accident. • Inappropriate response include: ▪ A person detects a hazardous condition but does nothing to correct it; ▪ A person removes a safeguard from a machine in an effort to increase output; or ▪ A person disregards an established safety procedure • Such responses can lead to accidents.
  • 56.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Inappropriate Activities • Examplesof inappropriate activities include: ▪ A person undertaking a task he or she doesn’t know how to do (performing tasks without requisite training) ▪ A person misjudging the degree of risk involved in a given task and proceeding based on that misjudgment.

  • 58.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Swiss Cheese Model •The Swiss Cheese Model of Accident Causation suggests that systemic failures, or accidents, occur from a series of events at different layers of an organization. • A system is similar to slices of Swiss cheese • There are holes which represent opportunities for failure, and each slice is a layer of the system.
  • 59.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Swiss Cheese Model •When holes in the layers line up, a loss (or accident) occurs
  • 60.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Swiss Cheese Model •Each layer of the system is an opportunity to stop an error; the more layers, the less likely an accident is to occur. Lines of defence Defects

    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Safety Culture • Culturecan be seen as a concept that describes the shared corporate values within an organisation which influences the attitudes and behaviours of all of its members. • Safety culture is a part of the overall culture of the organisation and is seen as affecting the attitudes and beliefs of members in terms of health and safety performance. • In other words, safety culture is the attitudes, values, norms, and beliefs that a particular group of people share with respect to risk and safety
  • 68.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Safety Culture • Safetyculture refers to the extent to which individuals and groups in the organisation will commit to: ▪ personal responsibility for safety ▪ act to preserve safety ▪ enhance and communicate safety concerns ▪ strive to actively learn ▪ adapt and modify behavior based on lessons learned from mistakes
  • 69.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Safety Culture • A“good” safety culture can be promoted by four factors: ▪ “senior management commitment to safety” ▪ realistic and flexible customs and practices for handling both well-defined and ill-defined hazards ▪ continuous organisational learning through practices such as feedback systems, monitoring and analysing ▪ a care and concern for hazards which is shared across the workforce.

  • 71.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Legislation, Act andRegulation • Legislation is a law passed by a legislative body such as a Parliament or State Legislature. • A law is considered to be an act when it has already been duly passed by a legislative body. • A regulation, on the other hand, is one that is approved by a group of individuals based on an act that has already been passed. These regulations are based on the act that has been approved and served as a means to make the act a lot easier to follow and adhere to. For this reason, one act can have numerous regulations.
  • 72.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Evolution of OSHLegislation • OSH Legislation in Malaysia was based on the traditional approach derived from 19th Century British Legislation • The industrial revolution in Britain resulted in some unsafe and unhealthy working conditions plus a high numbers of injury and disease.
  • 73.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Evolution of OSHLegislation • Legislation to overcome this problem was introduced very slowly. • In 1844, specific safety provisions addressed the "fencing of dangerous machinery." • Later Acts in the latter part of the 19th Century extended safety provisions to men and to other industries and hazards. • British report in 1972: prepared by a committee of inquiry, chaired by Lord Robens and is known as the Robens Report.
  • 74.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Evolution of OSHLegislation • The major recommendations made by Robens include: ▪ There should be more self regulation by employers and employees; (for example Safety & Health Officers and Safety & Health Committees); ▪ There should be a single, comprehensive Act dealing with occupational safety and health that should contain a clear statement of the basic principles of the safety responsibility of employers, employees and manufacturers, based on common law. ▪ The Act shall be supported by regulations and voluntary codes with the emphasis on the latter.
  • 75.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Evolution of OSHLegislation • The Occupational Safety and Health Act in Malaysia as well as new style safety and health legislation in the UK and Australia, reflects many principles that were stated in a British report in 1972. • In the year 1967, the Factory and Machinery Act was approved by the Parliament of Malaysia. • In 1970, the Factory and Machinery Act and eight regulations under the act were enforced. • This act was legislated to overcome the weaknesses in the Machinery Ordinance 1953, • Workers were not protected if they work in a workplace that doesn’t use machinery.
  • 76.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Introduction to OSHA1994 • Occupational Safety and Health Act – 1994 • This legislation was made considering the fact that the Factory and Machinery Act 1967 only covers occupational safety and health in the manufacturing, mining, quarrying and construction industries, whereas the other industries are not covered. • The purpose of Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 is to promote and encourage occupational safety and health awareness among employers and workers.
  • 77.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Introduction to OSHA1994 • Main principles that had been taken as the foundation in the drafting of this Act. 1. Self-regulation To handle issues relating to occupational safety and health, employers must develop a good and orderly management system. Starting with formation of a safety and health policy and consequently employers have to make the proper arrangements to be carried out.
  • 78.
    Health,Safety&Environmtn– CGE653 Introduction to OSHA1994 2. Tripartite consultation where employers, employees and the government must negotiate to settle issues and problems relating to occupational safety and health at the workplace. 3. Co-operation where employers and employees must co-operate to take care, nurture and to increase the quality of occupational safety and health at the workplace. Without co-operation between employers and employees, none of the occupational safety and health programmes carried out would succeed.
  • 79.

    Case study 2 Thefollowing schematic represents a typical produced water management process for a producing facility. The injection of surfactants and polymers have been planned as part of an EOR program at a particular field 45 km off the coast of Miri, Sarawak. The area development plan for this field will include a CPP to manage produced water. It is unclear, from the HSE point of view, what is to be done with the offshore processed water for which only oil can be removed for safe disposal. Propose a high level HSE recommendation based on available standards, codes and good industry practice.
