We empower our employees to add to the infrastructure in strengthening our safety monitoring network amongst our staff. Looking out for each other and to intervene when necessary.

Rotary actively seeks recognition in the area of HSE as such taking part in RoSPA, WHSPA etc. We like to continue to reinforce our safety habits as we value the safety of every contributing employee. We empower our employees to add to the infrastructure in strengthening our safety monitoring network amongst our staff. Looking out for each other and to intervene when necessary. We expect our managers, supervisors and leads to maintain a level of decorum. In their role, they are influential in providing a pro HSE environment. They must be committed in promoting HSE just as well as in their area of expertise and as leaders, they must send out good safety signals. Working safely includes taking care of the area of health as well. In our industry, we have to continue to educate our staff that certain health risk may not take effect immediately, and therefore the need for better controls and awareness on long term effects should be in place.

We should continue to play our part in environmental responsibility and prevent environmental accidents by reviewing Work Practices and Processes. Managers, Engineers and all in the value chain must know that by having proper planning and switching to alternatives that are less likely to cause pollution will make a difference to our environment. Every member of our team is important to us and huge efforts are made to ensure we understand the value of having a safe day at work. Therefore, collectively as a company, we put in effort in communicating HSE requirements as well as training and shop floor interventions. We empower our workforce to be able to prevent any work activity or condition that may result in harm to persons or the environment. Be safe everyone! HSE News

Safety Feature Donning of Full Body Harness

Whenever your work activity is located above ground, have your Fall Protection Plan (FPP) ready. The FPP includes the kinds of fall arrest systems to be used. The Full Body Harness (FBH) provides the user with a D Ring Attachment at the back which will be attached to other parts of the fall arrest system like a Self Retracting Lifeline (Fall arrest block) or a twin legged land-yard with an energy absorber. A properly worn and fitted FBH is designed to hold on to its user during fall arrest. It prevents the user from experiencing the full force concentrated on a small area of the body that will cause severe injury. Instead, it allows the arresting forces to be divided and spread throughout several points of the body, to minimize injury.

30th March 2012. The 2nd run of the Working Safely at Heights Workshop was carried out for a full class of twenty members from the Singapore Institution of Safety Officers (SISO). This group comprised of representatives from WAH training centers, ATPs, Oil and Gas industries, Landscaping, Building and Construction, Marine and Manufacturing. This enabled the workshop to proceed with active sharing and enhancing the knowledge of Working Safely at Heights. Facilitator Ken Lee and Chris Low paced it well and managed to catch some moments of interaction with the participants during the delicious catered meal breaks.

We thank everyone for their valuable feedback and suggestions on

18th January 2012. RIMC started its Employee Empowerment Program (EEP) at Chevron. The RIMC maintenance team consisted of workers, supervisors and safety personnel filled the training room graciously provided by Chevron. We had a guest, Mr John Tan, HES Specialist, Chevron who sat through the session together with our attentive class. The participants were enriched by the talk as it supported having a better safety culture. The Employee Empowerment Program is in our HSEMS (REL-HSEMS-16), that spells out our responsibilities as employees from workers all the way up to the our Chairman, to be empowered to intervene and ensure that our business activities do not harm persons or the environment. The talk included videos on the importance of intervention and In-House videos created by our very own HSE Support & Training Section with cast from RIMC and RLPL. The participants were thrilled when familiar faces and colleagues appeared in the video clips that enhanced the understanding of EEP. Facilitator Chris Low announced that volunteers are welcome to be featured in our future video clips as this would provide a sense of ownership to the program. The session ended with Mr John Tan complimenting on how our session was conducted as he too benefitted.

A task that has to be carried out on site, in the plant or the workshop has to be planned properly. All procedures ensure that the people doing the job will be adequately protected from the elements and the hazards present. REI Engineer Sun He communicates to Supervisor Tan Thoong Seng on job task and emphasizes that safe work procedures are of great importance. They go through the details of the risk assessment and task, and check that resources like logistics, tools, equipment and appropriate Personal Protective Equipment are available for the workers. Safety starts right from the top, from the planning stage and we want to ensure that everyone follows our safe procedures in order to improve productivity and reduce risk. said Sun He.

Did You Know

...the driver of every motor vehicle shall, when the vehicle is stationary for reasons other than traffic conditions, stop the engine of or other machinery attached to or forming the vehicle...Any person who fails to comply...shall be guilty of an offense. - Environmental Protection & Management Act, (Vehicular Emissions) Regulations

*Article extracted & edited from NEA brochure

Idling Vehicle Engine

A stationary motor vehicle with engine running (idling) wastes fuel and also causes air pollution. It also causes smell and noise nuisance to the public. In the long term, idling can damage the engine as it is not running at optimum temperature for combustion and will contaminate the engine oil and dirty the spark plugs. Water will also condense at the exhaust and will corrode the system. Under the Environmental Protection & Management (Vehicular Emissions) Regulations, it is stated that ..the driver of every motor vehicle shall, when the vehicle is stationary for reasons other than traffic conditions, stop the engine of or other machinery attached to or forming the vehicle...Any person who fails to comply.shall be guilty of an offense. The penalty of the offense is a composition fine of SGD$70 to a court fine not exceeding SGD$5,000. However, exemptions are made for traffic conditions, on board machinery for ancillary purpose such as cranes, taxis & buses waiting in queue for passengers, law enforcement or emergency purpose such as ambulances and vehicles under inspection, maintenance & diagnostics. So let us all do our part and switch off our vehicle engine when it is stationary, to protect the environment and observe the law.

Reverse Parking @ REL

As of February 2012, signage of Reverse Parking has been put up at REL JI Building parking facilities. By reverse parking we are able to prevent incidents as reversing into a parking bay is safer than reversing onto the road with moving traffic or pedestrians. It is also safer to move off from a parking bay by driving forward where the drivers angle of vision is better. When executing a reverse parking,

Ensure that the parking bay is free from objects, oil or human traffic. Ensure that your vehicle is not too big or too long for the parking bay. Ensure that your rear view and side mirrors are clear and able to assist you to keep a look out for pedestrians and obstructions. Do not completely rely on the reverse sensors but use your senses like your sight and hearing to detect danger.

The myth
You dont need to secure the load if youre just driving down the road.

The reality
If not properly secured, vehicle loads can become unsafe, even over a short distance. Loads that haven't been firmly tied down increase the risk of vehicle rollover and spillage. They risk the lives of drivers and other road users, and can also cause annoying traffic disruption. Don't take the risk make sure your load is restrained and contained!
