2012 Annual Report - Media Prima Berhad

OSH COMMITTEE
Media Prima has established an Occupational Safety and
Health (OSH) Committee for the effective management of
safety and health issues. It is a forum where health and
safety problems can be identified and resolved. Safe systems
and procedures can also be developed and monitored.
The committee meets on a quarterly basis or whenever
required such as to investigate an accident. It oversees the
development of safety and health rules and a safe system
of work. The Committee ensures full compliance with the
Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (Act 514) Sections
30 and 31 and Occupational Safety and Health (Safety and
Health Committee) Regulations 1996. It also reviews the
effectiveness of safety and health programmes. Other
functions and roles include:
• Conducting studies on the trends of accidents, nearmisses,
dangerous occurrences, occupational poisoning
or occupational diseases which occur at Media Prima;
• Reporting any unsafe or unhealthy conditions or
practices together with recommendations for corrective
actions to the Management;
• Reviewing the safety and health policies and
recommending any revisions;
• Inspecting Media Prima sites at least quarterly to
confirm there is nothing prejudicial to the safety and
health of employees or the public;
• Discussing any observations made by members of the
committee and making recommendations to the
Management;
• Inspecting the place of work after any accidents, nearmisses,
dangerous occurrences, occupational poisoning
or occupational diseases have occurred in the
workplace.
Departmental OSH Sub Committees (OSUBC) also manage
departmental safety and health activities within the OSH
Management System requirements. This committee
maintains all relevant records at the departmental level and
ensures the implementation of OSH objectives and targets
in-line with the Departmental OSH Management
Programmes.
