Apart from the Wasco C.A.R.E. campaign, Wasco also
played host to several HSE Conferences in efforts to
extend their HSE practices to their partners. Wasco
co-hosted the 4th Quarter 2013 Performance Review
in January 2014 as well as the 3rd Quarter 2014
Contractor’s Conference in September 2014 with
PCSB. In November 2014, WCM also played host to
PCSB for the JDA Project Close Out at Hyatt Regency
Kuantan, where 40 participants from PCSB and WCM
attended a packed 2-day programme.
For the year under review, Wasco Engineering
Services Singapore Pte Ltd. (“WESS”) recorded 3
LTIs, with its highest incident free man-hours being
387,680. As one of its LTI occurred in September
2014, its latest incident free man-hours was
recorded at 233,402. In response to these incidences,
WESS conducted a combined Bowling Event and
HSE Day in efforts to foster a greater sense of
teamwork that will better translate into a collective
responsibility towards safety. Apart from this, WESS
continued to run its regular HSE activities such as
having the HSE Steering Committee & Management
Review Meetings, OHSAS 18001 & ISO 14001 Audit
by DNV as well as a Health Screening Exercise &
Audiometric Examination.
Over at PT. Wasco Engineering Indonesia, the
team managed to achieve a flawless record with
9.9 million safe man-hours. This came as a great
feat seeing that the Batam team saw a high
number of projects being carried out in 2014. Its
achievement was due to its strict adherence to all
HSE practices along with initiatives carried out by
its dedicated personnel.
Meanwhile, at the RE Division, Jutasama Sdn Bhd
achieved an accumulated 9.1 million incident free
man-hours and PMT Industries Sdn Bhd achieved
546,156 safe man-hours. With a slogan ‘Safety is
Everyone’s Concern’, programmes for emergency
preparedness including fire and medical drills were
held regularly to ensure the Division’s response
capabilities as governed by the regulations from
the Department of Occupational Safety and Health.
Training and awareness programmes were also
conducted to ensure workers at the plants improve
their understanding and implementation of HSE
practices. Local health and safety committees are
also in place at the main offices in Shah Alam,
Sandakan and Bintulu. Each of the committee
members have the responsibility to ensure that the
corporate HSE plan is adhered to and provides the
opportunity for various units to discuss as well as
resolve any health and safety concerns.
Having successfully implemented our HSE
programmes, we hope to further strengthen our
efforts in this area by continuing to embed good HSE
practices within the Company’s business culture and
our people. It is our hope that our commitment to
safety will minimize the impact on the environment,
control risks to our employees and maintain safe
work practices. Our dedication will match our
commitment so that each and every employee takes
personal ownership of their own safety and the
safety of others.
