Management Report

Location:

Lubricants & Greases Company, Sharjah, UAE

Date of Review:

INTRODUCTION The inspection activity has been carried out in a Lubricants & Greases Company, located in Sharjah, UAE which is mainly involved in the manufacturing of oil and greases and complying with occupational health and safety regulations. The activities being carried out in day to day operations include material handling, packing , blending oil, loading cartoons. The scope of inspection was to identify any potential hazards, to check the effectiveness of existing control measures and recommend any further control measure to ensure that residual risk are as low as possible and harmless. All the findings which I recorded are attached to the observation sheets. Executive Summary The management of company is highly committed to safeguard its employees, visitors, contractor and all stakeholders from the hazards arising out of its daily operations. This responsibility is clearly dedicated to competent personnel. Risk assessment of all the activities has been done and is reviewed periodically. Resources have been allocated for mitigation

14




of significant hazards through effective controls. PPE programs is in place and requirements are communicated to workforce through trainings, posters and signs. Overall compliance with health and safety management system is observed satisfactory. There are some potential hazards and conditions are evaluated at this facility completion of the following items will help lower both the frequency and severity of losses in terms of personnel injury, illness, asset damage and business reputation. 1. Personal Protective Equipment 2. Electrical Safety 3. Ergonomics

15




Main findings of the Inspection & Recommendation Observation # 1 (Refer Observation no, 8) Personnel protective equipment # 8, 16 few workers in blending activity of oil are observed to be working without wearing respiratory mask, one of the workers in production area is observed to be handling the Capping Machine without wearing ear muff. Although the program for PPE is in place and PPEs are available however implementation is partial to some extent due to lack of supervision. Recommendation: All the workers who have to follow the PPEs protocols must be trained on the hazards associated. With their assigned jobs, why the PPE recommendation and how they will prevent them from hazards. After their

16




induction disciplinary action should be taken against the worker who violates the PPEs protocols. Approximate Cost:

None

Breaches of Law: UAE law of Health & Safety

Observation # 2 (Refer Observation No, 11, 21, ) Trailing cables due to insufficient power outlets, combustible materials storied the waste storage area due to lack of inadequate supervision. Recommendations Power outlets/sockets and industrials plugs to be procured as per requirements and fitted where required. Competent supervision must be ensured to arrange frequent inspections. Approximates Costs:

AED 1000/

Legislation: UAE electricity rules, failure to comply with these regulations, or any part thereof, shall be deemed as contrary to the Law. Such failures will be addressed in accordance with the Law under Article 65(5) (notices

17




served by the Bureau), Article 66 (failure to comply) and Article 135 (offences and fines). Observation # 3 (Refer observation # (9, 10, 13 ) Few of the loaders are observed to be lifting the raw materials cartons in unsafe manners and few of the data entry operators complained about the backache and insufficient lighting the shows inadequate controls to reduce the WRULD dieases. Recommendation: A survey to be conducted to address the WRULD in terms workstation designs, material handling practices, product flow and handling. Refresher trainings should be arranged for all the personnel involved in material handling and working on monitoring devices handling computer and laptops. Approximates Cost: AED 4500/ Legislation: ILO C155 EHS OP-026 procedure for ergonomics

CONCLUSION All the significant hazards are identified plus control measures in a time frame scale. The management, if willing to take action will benefit to health and safety. As it will increase level of compliance of workers to health and safety rules and reduce result of injury and accident. It will also bring

18




more commitment of organization which result a positive safety culture and reduce legal action by enforcing authorities and reduce compensation claims and can provide more safe production of the organization in addition the business reputation will be on the top and it is one of the factor to consider granting more projects to company in the business today. As more projects will come the more business will grow and when it grows the company will become more famous in market There are certain areas where inadequate supervision is observed that is alarming for the health & safety culture of the organization. Competence levels of the supervisory staff needs to be improved through internal as well as external trainings so that they might be able to identify each potential hazards assesses the associated risk. Although induction for new joiners is in place but even then it is not covering the technical aspects of their job. Hazards related to their assigned tasks, hierarchy followed to take the control measure and use of any PPE ( if applicable) must be the part of their induction. Finally
