This study examines the rate of occurrence of accidents and their causes in mining and quarry sites in East Coast Malaysia. There are two methods that were used in this study. The secondary data technique was used by gathering all accident reports from Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) inEast Coast Malaysia, and Social Security Organization (SOCSO), Malaysia. The data was used to identify the causes, while the method to identify the rate of accident occurrences is questionnaires. Descriptive tools of statistics such as frequency, percentage and mean were used for the analysis. The study reveals that accidents occur at a low rate at the mining and quarry sites in Malaysia. Different causes of accident were identified such as flying objects or debris, untidy sites, failure of vehicles, pinched while performing work, slip and trip at work areas, faulty equipment and machinery, negligence of workers or operator’s errors, work at sharp edges, and fall from height. This study therefore recommends that relevant control measures should be devised in order to reduce the rate of accident. Kajian ini mengkaji kadar berlakunya kemalangan dan sebab-sebab berlakunya kemalangan di tapak perlombongan dan kuari di Pantai Timur Malaysia. Terdapat dua kaedah yang digunakan dalam kajian ini. Teknik data sekunder telah digunakan dengan mengumpulkan semua laporan kemalangan dari Jabatan Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan (JKKP) di Pantai Timur Malaysia, dan Pertubuhan Keselamatan Sosial (PERKESO), Malaysia. Data digunakan untuk mengenal pasti punca kemalangan, manakala kaedah untuk mengenal pasti kadar kejadian kemalangan adalah melalui soal selidik. Kaedah deskriptif statistik seperti kekerapan, peratusan dan min digunakan dalam analisis. Kajian ini mendedahkan bahawa kemalangan berlaku pada kadar yang lebih rendah di tapak perlombongan dan kuari di Malaysia. Sebabsebab yang berbeza berpuncanya kemalangan telah dikenal pasti seperti objek terbang atau serpihan,laman berantakan, kegagalan kenderaan, mencubit semasa melakukan kerja, tergelincir dan perjalanan pada kawasan kerja, peralatan yang rosak dan jentera, kecuaian pekerja atau kesilapan pengendali, bekerja di tepi tajam, dan jatuh dari ketinggian. Objektif utama kajian ini mencadangkan bahawa langkahlangkah kawalan yang berkenaan perlu dibuat untuk mengurangkan kadar kemalangan.

Safety And Health

Occupational Safety and Health is the primary means of prevention of occupational accidents, disabilities and deaths so that the consequences of occupational accidents from potential hazards can be prevented. Companies need to develop risk management based on hazard identification and risk assessment compiled in occupational safety and health programs. Occupational health and safety risk management is an effort of hazard management which potentially pose a risk to safety and health to prevent unwanted accident. The data collected in this research is primary data and secondary data. Primary data obtained through direct observation on the floor processing RSS (Ribbed Smoke Sheet) at PT. PQR is useful to observe the potential hazards of work contained in the work area. While the secondary data taken in this study is historical data. The result of determining the risk value for each hazard source contained in PT. PQR is classified by rankings marked with the code E (extreme risk), H (high risk), M (moderate risk), and L (low risk). This is obtained by comparing the severity and probability values of each process / activity. Of the 28 activities, there are 7 activities included in the category of high risk. Process / activity that belonged to high risk is necessary to control to minimize or even eliminate the existing risks. control measures that can be performed on a high risk process / activity is to use a complete Personal Protective Equipment (APD), MSDS, using warning signs, using ladders in sheet sheets, with ergonomic work posture.Factors causing potential work hazards are workers who perform activities of inadvertent, high temperatures, and negligence of workers in using PPE. These control measures are expected to reduce and even eliminate the risk of the process / activity classified as high risk so that the number of workplace accidents can be reduced.

The statistic on occupational safety and health has received considerable attention in the SME industry regarding to the vital role of the SME in the Malaysian economy to become a developed country by the year 2020. However, the official statistic specific on SME related occupational safety and health still una-vailable. Thus, the secondary data related to estimation statistic refer to the Department of Statistic (DOS) since 2001 until 2012 were used. Estimation related statistic is adapted from the Global Estimates of Occupational Accidents and Work-related Illnesses 2014. The total number of occupational accident and fatalities average high within ten years. Whereas a number of the accident decrease during 2002 to 2007 with the involvement of 85926 to 56339 cases, nevertheless, four years later trend drastically in-creased. Approximately ten thousand fatal occupational related diseases as 2014. In addition, the cost of compensation claims related occupational accident report increase in 2012 as well as disease and sur-vival recipient. Overall cost of occupational accident increase every year. Presently, this study provided useful hints of implication of ignoring safety to encourage improvement of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH), enhance effectiveness of company operational cost, and stimulate prevention at the SME level substantially great approach to the Malaysian economic development.

The informal non-food manufacturing sector is an engine of growth and development in both developed and developing countries. The sector is unregulated and unregistered in official government statistics. However this particular sector is faced with occupational safety and health hazards without preventive measures. The study assessed knowledge and attitudes on practices of occupational safety and health in the informal non-food manufacturing sector in Kampala City, Uganda. It adopted across sectional survey design that involved both qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques. A total of 424 firms were sampled from the 6 clusters of the informal sector. Respondents were moderately knowledgeable on hazards with 39.7% compared to 25.5% who reported high level of exposure. Overall the knowledge on occupational safety and health hazards was inadequate while attitude especially on the use of PPE was poor. There was a high level on knowledge towards hazard control measures by complying with the safety measures (PPE 52.6% and good housekeeping 54.4%) although no significant difference was observed in their adherence to control measures. Attitude towards the use of control measures was found to moderate with PPE 62.9% and good housekeeping 61.1% Creation of awareness, training, and application of Occupational Safety and Health Regulations, inspection and enforcement by the relevant regulatory agency as well as proactive multi-media strategies to improve the situation is recommended.

Water Treatment Plant (WTP) is an important infrastructure to ensure human health and the environment. In its development, aspects of environmental safety and health are of concern. This paper case study was conducted at the Water Treatment Plant Company in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. Hazard identification and risk assessment is one part of the occupational safety and health program at the risk management stage. The purpose of this study was to identify potential hazards using hazard identification methods and risk assessment methods. Risk assessment is done using criteria of severity and probability of accident. The results obtained from this risk assessment are 22 potential hazards present in the water purification process. Extreme categories that exist in the risk assessment are leakage of chlorine and industrial fires. Chlorine and fire leakage gets the highest value because its impact threatens many things, such as industrial disasters that could endanger human life and the environment. Control measures undertaken to avoid potential hazards are to apply the use of personal protective equipment, but management will also be better managed in accordance with hazard control hazards, occupational safety and health programs such as issuing work permits, emergency response training is required, Very useful in overcoming potential hazards that have been determined.
