Introduction
Inspection was conducted on 12/4/2016.Areas covered during the inspection are; 1).Cutting and assembly
workshops 2).Workshops 3).Skid tracks 4).Wharfs 5). Cranage 6). Fabrication .The MMHE West yard is
the single largest fabrication yard by annual tonnage capacity in Malaysia. It also boasts one of the largest
dry docks in South East Asia. The only yard in Malaysia that has constructed deepwater structures for the
oil and gas industry.The only yard in Malaysia that has completed FPSO/FSO conversions, the first being
the FPSO Perintis completed in March 1999.Pioneered the construction of Malaysia’s first deepwater
project namely the FPSO Kikeh, which boasts the biggest and heaviest external turret on any FPSO
worldwide.Constructed the Gumusut-Kakap semi-floating production system (FPS), the largest of such
facility in the world to have been fully built and integrated on land.Total Area : 150.6 hectare (372 acres)
complex with 1.8 km seafront.Capacities : Ability to construct large marine structures with a total tonnage
of 69,700 MT per year. In April 2012, through the yard optimisation initiative, MHB expanded its yard size
and capacity with the acquisition of new land for the fabrication of offshore oil and gas related structures,
to cater to EPCIC works. The acquisition has significantly increased MHB’s Pasir Gudang yard capacity
from 69,700 MT to 129,700 MT, making MHB the largest fabricator in Malaysia today in terms of yard size
and capacity. In conjunction with the acquisition, MMHE’s yard in Jalan Pekeliling was renamed “MMHE
West”, while the acquired yard is known as “MMHE East”. There are approximately 4,000 operations and
services support staff working at both yards in Pasir Gudang as well as in the Group Corporate Office in
Menara Dayabumi, Kuala Lumpur on any given day.

Date of review: 12 / April / 2016
Main findings of the inspection
In general assessments for the MMHE west yard, it was very positive.There were good systems in place
for login procedures, risk analysis and job safety analysis,chemical inventory and document control for
reporting. All of the equipment and machinery were in a very good condition,escape route are clearly
marked and free from obstruction,safety sign are place and clearly visible, all chemicals are clearly
marked with name hazard and expiry date. There is a clear evidence of effective control measures and
good level of management supervision.
However, there is scope for improvement. During the inspection, there are five critical hazards and these
need immediate actions by the managements.
1. Observations#1(Holding the grinding machine too close to the disc)
Weakness:
The workers that used the grinding machine were holding the grinding holder guard too close to
the disc. From my observation, the workers might struck by powered grinding disc while the
machine is operating and it might cause body injury to the workers.
Strengths(Existing control):
The grinding machine guard holder were already install to maximize the distance and the worker
were provided suitable Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
From myobservation, I managed to identify 25 hazards and somegood practices of the company.
Out of 25, five(5) of those can be considered as critical hazards. These 5 critical hazards required
immediate actions from the management as it will affect the workers and company reputation.
Below are the five (5) issues that had been highlight in the report.
 The importance of Dangerous parts of Machinery securely fenced by a fixed guards.
 The Importance of having a water dispenser at the workplace/rest area due to long
exposure to heat.
 The importance of safe distance of the chemicals.
 The importance of reduce the frequency of noise at the workplace.
 The importance of Personal protective equipment (PPE) when doing hotwork activities.
By implementing all the recommendation it will help and ensure that the Company has follow the
local and international standards of health and safety. Other than that, by following all the
procedure that has been state, the company will avoid unplanned event that can lead to major
injury or fatality thus there were no objections on safety policy of management in creating a
healthy work environment to nurture a healthy workforce and protect them from work-related
illnesses.

APPENDIX 5
Conclusions
MHB was incorporated in Malaysia in 1989 as a private limited company, under the name MSE Holdings Sdn Bhd.
In June 2010, when MSE Holdings was converted into a public company, its name was changed to Malaysia Marine
and Heavy Engineering Holdings Berhad (MHB). On 29 October 2010, MHB was successfully listed on the Main
Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad, with its Initial Public Offering (IPO) raising of RM2.03 billion. The IPO
was the first in Malaysia to be conducted with an international strategic investor, Technip SA of France, a renowned
player in project management, engineering and construction in the oil and gas industry. For a well known company
in oil and gas industry, safety is always been their top priority but there are several issues that related to safety and
still have a scope for improvement towards the issues.
Throught the assessments, there are five critical issues that had been identified whichthw is high in potential to risk
and harm the workers that will lead to injury and damage the property of the company such as damaging the
machinery or equipment,explosion at the workplace. This may lead the organization to suffer from decreasing of
production rate,high premium insurance,high ,uninsured cost and reducing morale level of the workers.
By implementing the corrective actions that stated in the recommendation tables,It will help the company to
minimize the number of accidents at the workplace,decreasing the pay of premium insurance. Other than that,
indirectly it will improve the company production and improve the morale of staff in the workplace. The
recommendations could be achieved in less than 3 months period of time and budget estimated for the
recommendation is less than RM25000.00.

Here are the lists of five(5) critical hazards:
1. Observations#1(Holding the grinding machine too close to the disc).
From my observations, moving machine parts have the potential to cause severe workplace
injuries, such as crushed fingers or hands, amputations, burns, or blindness. Safeguards are
essential for protecting workers from these preventable injuries. Any machine part, function, or
process that may cause injury must be safeguarded. When the operation of a machine or
accidental contact injure the operator or others in the vicinity, the hazards must be eliminated or
controlled. As for this cases, the grinding holder guard were already install to the grinding
machine but the distance between the disc and grinding holder are still close. This can be
avoided by installing additional guarded holder to the machine to maximize the distance to the
disc.
2. Observation #8 (The workers exposed to high frequency of noise source).
Exposure to high levels of noise can cause permanent hearing loss. Neither surgery nor a hearing
aid can help correct this type of hearing loss. Short term exposure to loud noise can also cause a
temporary change in hearing (your ears may feel stuffed up) or a ringing in your ears (tinnitus).
These short-term problems may go away within a few minutes or hours after leaving the noisy area.
However, repeated exposures to loud noise can lead to permanent tinnitus and/or hearing loss.
However, this can be avoided by minimize the duration of the workers expose to high frequency of
noise. Lastly, this also can be avoided by modifying or replacing equipment, or making related
physical changes at the noise source or along the transmission path to reduce the noise level at
the worker's ear. Examples of inexpensive, effective engineering controls include some of the
following: Choose low-noise tools and machinery; Maintain and lubricate machinery and equipment
(e.g., oil bearings); Place a barrier between the noise source and employee (e.g., sound walls or
curtains); and Enclose or isolate the noise source.
3. Observation #11 (Unsafe distance of combustible material).
As for this cases, chemical material should’ve been stored into a proper storage with a signage or
label on the material and store it at a safe distance by either a minimum distance of 20 feet (6.1
m) or a barrier having a fire-resistance rating of 30 minutes. Other than that, the organisation
should send their workers to training in handling the chemical material. Some of the workers might
have been sent to training but still didn’t aware about the distance, the organisation should have
supervise the workers.

4. Observation #2 (Worker exposed to heat in long hours).
Many people are exposed to heat on the job, outdoors or in hot indoor environments. Operations
involving high air temperatures, radiant heat sources, high humidity, direct physical contact with
hot objects, or strenuous physical activities have a high potential for causing heat-related illness.
These can be avoided by providing water dispenser at the rest area for the workers and advising
them on importance of drinking small quantities of water often. Other than that, c plastic jacket
whose pockets can be filled with dry ice or containers of ice is another method of minimizing the
heat-related illness.
5. Observation #17 (Welding without suitable PPE)
This is another unsafe culture by the workers. The company should have address this issues with
a serious action as the welding fume and gases can result in eye, nose and throat irritation,
dizziness and nausea. Workers in the area who experience these symptoms should leave the
area immediately, seek fresh air and obtain medical attention. Prolonged exposure to welding
fume may cause lung damage and various types of cancer, including lung, larynx and urinary
tract. By providing a suitable PPE to the welder, other control measure also can minimize the risk
and harm to the welder such as Local exhaust ventilation systems can be used to remove fume
and gases from the welder’s breathing zone. Keep fume hoods, fume extractor guns and vacuum
nozzles close to the plume source to remove the maximum amount of fume and gases. Portable
or flexible exhaust systems can be positioned so that fume and gases are drawn away from the
welder. Keep exhaust ports away from other workers. Welding inspector or supervisor at the
workplace should give a close monitoring to this worker by advising them the consequences of
not wearing suitable PPE while doing hotwork.
