Trienekens Stresses On Safety At The Workplace

Occupational safety at the Kuching Integrated Waste Management Park (KIWMP), Mambong is a prioritised core value and a culture long established by its operating company, Trienekens (Sarawak) Sdn. Bhd.

 “The management regards safety at workplace as a crucial component of its operations. No matter how trivial the issue, safety comes first for our employees,” explained Trienekens’ Division Manager of Health, Safety and Environment (HSE), Harris Michael Deho. “The company organises regular safety trainings throughout the year to ensure that safety awareness, knowledge, skills and ultimately, as a culture, among our staff are constantly enhanced.”

 Among the company’s HSE programmes was a refresher-training on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), which was recently organised for Trienekens’ KIWMP operations staff. Usage of PPEs while carrying out their duties at their respective work areas is mandatory and the session provided the staff with further information on the correct selection, usage and maintenance of PPEs, depending on their place of work and possible work hazards. Consequences of improper or incorrect usage of PPE were further disseminated during the training.

 While safe work conditions and procedures are already established by the company to ensure all workers are protected from potential hazards, employees were also advised not to take safety at their workplace for granted. They were reminded to always take preventive measures by adhering to the safety guidelines and requirements of their respective jobs.

 The staff also witnessed various demonstrations of the proper usage of PPEs such as ear plugs, safety glasses, gloves, safety coveralls and other related safety gears. The training was conducted by a safety expert trainer from Kimberly Clark, Tristian Lee.
