of day-to-day priorities and practices. In the year under review, many initiatives were carried out across the Group including: • Research on Non-communicable Diseases Risk Factors among MISC Staff Carried out in collaboration with BiO-LiFE® and International Medical University (IMU), a total of 95 MISC staff participated in the programme. The results of the research were disclosed to individual participants and the consolidated results were then presented to HRM as a glimpse into the general well-being of MISC employees. Consultation sessions with healthcare experts were also made available to the participants after disclosure of study results. • Focus on Health A Health Day event was organised for the benefit of all MISC employees on 14 August 2014 with health talks, free health screenings and various health-product exhibitions held on the day. Our AET offices also ran a health campaign, “Health is Wealth” that specifically focused on office ergonomics awareness. A series of health talks were also held at MHB at regular intervals throughout the year to enhance employee awareness on occupational health and personal health management. Apart from the health talks, health-centric programmes were also carried out at MHB including a Drug and Alcohol Prevention Campaign, SOCSO Health Screening and Health Talk, Hearing Conservation Campaign and a Health Risk Assessment Programme. • Fire Safety Talk – “Fire Safety Begins With You” MISC employees within Menara Dayabumi were invited to attend a Fire Safety Talk held on 19 November 2014. The aim of the programme was to increase the level of fire safety awareness amongst employees especially in their own homes. • Behaviour Based Safety through Intervention of Unsafe Acts MHB started the Behaviour Based Safety (BBS) programme since 2012 through the implementation of MMHE 10 Safety Rules and “Dah Ambil Peduli Ambil Tindakan” (DAPAT) behavioural safety programmes. In 2014, efforts to promote and encourage intervention of unsafe acts continued with the launch of the BBS programme, “Behavioural Excellence All Together” by MHB’s offshore business unit. • Promoting Safety at the Workplace In 2014, a significant number of safety campaigns were organised by MHB with the primary objective of instilling safety awareness and enhancing greater involvement in HSE issues among the workforce. The campaigns were: • Near Miss Reporting Campaign • Caught in Between Campaign • Dropped Object Campaign • Hand & Finger Injury Prevention Campaign • Road Safety Campaign • Specific Project HSE Campaign • Blood Donation Drives Once again, MISC organised two Blood Donation Drives in 2014 which saw the participation of many employees and tenants within the Menara Dayabumi area. The event was held in collaboration with KLCC Urusharta (KLCCUH), the building management of Menara Dayabumi and the University Malaya Medical Centre blood bank. A similar programme was also held by MHB in Pasir Gudang Johor. • Improving Health On-Board Vessels Thorough and comprehensive health risks assessments were initiated on board AET vessels as well as workboat operations in Galveston to enhance health management of sea staff. Following these assessments, additional initiatives were implemented to augment “potable water safety” with test and sampling kits for vessels and “hearing protection aids” with upgraded devices to mitigate noise hazards. Similarly, MISC also conducted a health risk assessment on board its vessel, Puteri Firus in May 2014. The MISC Medical Standards for Seafarers (MSS) was also developed to govern the minimum health requirements for employment on board MISC vessels in order for seafarers to be able to safely carry out their duties without bringing harm to themselves, their colleagues and the operations of the vessel. • Sustaining Good Safety Practices The effectiveness of the Zero Tolerance Guidelines is reflected in the decreasing trend of LTIF/TRCF along with an increasing trend in near miss reporting at both AET and MISC and will be reiterated to the fleet in 2015. Additionally, “Safety Champion 2014” is being continued where monitoring of leading indicators, identification of risk behaviors and gaps in operational discipline are embedded in the programme. A similar campaign focusing on “Slips, Trips & Falls” was also carried out on MISC vessels. • Navigational Campaign A navigational campaign was launched by Fleet Management Services (FMS) to address the increasing number of navigational mishaps and incidences of near misses arising in the shipping industry.
