EVENTS & NEWS
A quarterly HSE campaign started to
run concurrently with all existing HSE
programs throughout the year.
As part of our continuous
improvement in ASMEF HSE,
a quarterly HSE campaign
started to run concurrently
with all existing HSE programs
throughout the year. The
objective of these campaigns is to increase
awareness in health and safety matters in
general and on the selected theme of the
campaign in particular.
Other than announcements and prominent
banners and displays to mark each individual
campaign, events based on the quarterly
theme included training, focus during the
daily toolbox and weekly safety meetings,
reviews of the risk assessments and safety
controls, hand outs and presentations,
competitions, awards and the like.
Hand & Finger Injury Prevention Campaign
Q1, 2017. Based on ASMEF HSE performance
of 2016, as well as in consideration of the
common health and safety risks of our operations, the HSE department kick started the year with a ‘Hand
& Finger Injury prevention campaign’.
Prominent displays and banners of the Hand & Finger Injury Prevention Campaign were placed in the yard
and offices on the first work day of the year.
A Hand & Finger Injury Prevention Poster Competition was held, which pleasantly unearthed a some of
talented artists amongst the workforce. Awards were also given for HSE observations and suggestions
based on the theme of the campaign.
The success of the campaign was judged by the number of incidents, inclusive of records of minor
complaints and consultations at the first aid clinic during the period. There were no hand & finger injuries
through the campaign and even for a few months after. More so, it was noted that complaints at the site
first aid clinic had also reduced dramatically.
