Convention Centre. With the theme “Jasamu Dikenang”, the event honoured employees who have served the company for 35 years, 25 years, 20 years and 15 years. A total of nine (9) employees who were retiring from the company were also celebrated at the same event. Awarding Excellence Every year MISC celebrates the achievements of its employees’ children in the UPSR, PMR and SPM examinations via the MISC Education Excellence Awards (EEA). On 30 May 2014, 53 bright young students who excelled in their 2013 school examinations were honoured at Istana Hotel Kuala Lumpur together with their family members. Family on Board The Ship Board Management Team at HR Sea initiated a programme which allowed for family members of seafarers to board the vessel for a short duration during the seafarer’s tour of service. Apart from allowing family members to experience life as a seafarer, this initiative helped improve the welfare and morale of our sea staff and it was well received. HEALTH & SAFETY The issue of employee and asset safety remain an utmost priority and our dedication to this is evident in the strong safety culture practiced throughout the Group and through the safety performance achieved in 2014. In 2014, the Group achieved 57.24 million man-hours which is a 20.9% reduction from the previous year. The reduction in man-hours was due to chemical fleet optimisation at MISC, and fewer ongoing projects on site at MHB. The Lost Time Injury Frequency (LTIF) was recorded at 0.07 compared to 0.21 previously and Total Recordable Case Frequency (TRCF) was 0.72, slightly up from 0.70 in 2013. This is a 66.7% reduction and a 2.9% increase respectively from the previous year. The TRCF rate recorded a slight increase although there was an overall reduction in the number of cases due to lowered man-hours. Although overall LTIF was down by 66.7%, there was an unfortunate incident of one fatality case recorded at MHB. The incident occurred when a contractor welder helper was hit by a moving gantry crane. A thorough investigation into the matter was conducted where remedial actions were recommended and carried out to prevent similar incidents from reoccurring in the future. Recognition for Our Safety Efforts As with the previous year, several of our AET petroleum tankers received the Jones F. Devlin Award and Safety Achievement Award from the Chamber of Shipping of America (CSA) for superior health and safety practices on board the vessels. Many of the AET vessels were honoured with one particular vessel achieving 19 years without recording a single LTI on board. Malaysia Vietnam Offshore Terminal (L) Limited (MVOT), a joint venture company between MISC Berhad and PetroVietnam Technical Services Corporation (PTSC), was awarded with the Talisman Energy Inc’s CEO Global Safety Award 2014 as recognition for improvements in the safety practices on board FSO Orkid. MVOT is the owner and operator of the FSO Orkid for Talisman (Malaysia) Limited (TML). This was the first time that a company from the Asia Pacific region was honoured with this award. MISC was also shortlisted as one of the finalists for the “Safety & Quality Award” category during the 11th Edition of the Seatrade Maritime Awards on 27 October 2014. Building a Health and Safety Culture Ashore and At Sea The Health and Safety of our employees is a top priority for the Group as evidenced by top management participation in the MISC Group Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Council. Dedicated HSE teams at corporate and operational level continuously monitor Health and Safety performance throughout the Group and implement various initiatives at the workplace to keep Health and Safety at the forefront WORKPLACE 71.84 2012 72.35 0.86 0.38 0.70 0.21 0.72 0.07 2013 57.24 2014 Man-hours (Million) TRCF (Frequency) LTIF (Frequency) MISC GROUP LTIF AND TRCF PERFORMANCE MISC BERHAD - Annual Report 2014 p 102 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
