O F F I C I A L H S E P U B L I C A T I O N O F D Y N A - M A C H O L D I N G S L T D Health Matters REVEALING HEALTHY OPTIONS

Fit Test training was recently held at HSE office to generate awareness on

respirator fit testing requirements for any worker who is required to don a tight-fitting

respirator. This training allows the user to pick the most acceptable respirator from a

number of respirator models and sizes so that the respirator is acceptable, and

correctly fits to the nature of work assigned.

The demonstration and the experience gained during the respiratory protection

training have provided trainees an insight that was generally unknown to our

workforce. Due to the nature of our work environment, our workforce are exposed

to heat, humidity and metal fumes which often leads to Occupational diseases

such as chronic lung or heart disease and respiratory problems –Asthma etc.

Occupational asthma is caused or worsened by breathing in chemical fumes,

gases, dust or other substances during the period on the job. Like other types of

asthma, occupational asthma can cause chest tightness, wheezing and shortness

of breath. If treated early, occupational asthma may be reversible. Long-term

exposure to allergy-causing substances can cause worsening symptoms and

lifelong asthma. Treatment for occupational asthma is similar to treatment for other

types of asthma, and it generally includes taking medications to reduce symptoms.

But the only way to eliminate the symptoms and prevent lung damage due to

occupational asthma is to avoid whatever's triggering it. We train our workforce to

wear face mask properly and discourage the use of substandard substitute.

EDITOR’S NOTE:

By – Jason

This is the 6th issue of the HSE

Newsletter, it is with great pride to

share our achievements in the first

half of this year. Numerous events

were sighted and are now part of

Dyna-Mac history. We wish to

enlighten the readers in areas such

as safety in grinding work,

elaboration on health, everyday

inspections and reports on several

HSE significant activities. Reliability

of common PPE is discussed for

general knowledge. An overview

of the latest yearly surveillance

OHSAS audit will be provided. We

have elaborated the significance

of our fresh partnership with new

clients and discussed their

contribution to Dyna-Mac’s vision.

These are the supplementary

stories presented as one whole

package for your information and

reading pleasure.

SCREEN DILEMMA Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a

temporary condition resulting from

focusing on a computer display for

prolonged periods of time. Some

symptoms of CVS include headaches,

blurred vision, neck pain, redness in the

eyes, fatigue, eye strain, dry eyes,

irritated eyes, double vision,

vertigo/dizziness, polyopia, and difficulty

refocusing the eyes. These symptoms

can be further aggravated by improper

lighting conditions. Prevention involves

taking steps to control lighting and glare

on the device screen, establishing

proper working distances and posture

for screen viewing, and assuring that

even minor vision problems are properly

corrected.

RELATING OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES TO COMMON EQUIPMENT THAT WE USE by Matin

MANDATORY INSPECTIONS by Sean

WSH IMPLEMENTS IT SERIOUSLY, WE TAKE STEPS TO ABIDE THE REGULATIONS BY ANY PRACTICAL MEANS POSSIBLE. Workplace inspection helps to

prevent injuries and illnesses. Through

meticulous inspection, hazards are

identified and recorded for the

implementation of various corrective

measures. Special attention must be

catered to machineries and personal

tools that will develop unsafe or

unhealthy conditions due to wear and

tear. The safe work procedures

mandate the frequency of inspections

on specified tools and equipment. The

workers are trained to ensure that they

fully understood the company’s SWP.

Updating of information such as tags,

check sheets and safety notice boards

allow s us to keep track of the status of

the equipment. Lastly, servicing,

alterations or repairs can only be done

by authorized and competent

p e r s o n n e l . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

2nd Quarter SMS Audit By Eric

FOCUS ON HSMS COMPLIANCE

Employers have a duty to ensure the safety and health of workers in every

aspect related to the work. Safety audit provides a platform assessing the

effectiveness of the company safety management system and its validity for the

future.

The surveillance audit that took place on 14th April 2015 by external party, ABS,

has given us the opportunity to identify our strengths in our existing health and

safety management system. Recommendations were made to enhance the

program for continuing development and improvement.

The audit was conducted using a series of detailed audit criteria that addressed

the audit objective. Prior to finalizing the audit criteria, the areas of concerns and

opportunity of improvement have been assessed.

Our system is generally working well as agreed by the auditors, with a few

observations that were brought up for improvement.

The HSE department is pleased with the cooperation and all preparation work

done by all department for the audit. Moving forward, we hope to resolve all issues

in the shortest period of time with the cooperation of every department. The

Compliance Audit & Training (CAT) had initiated an internal audit to bridge

information with other departments and seal off the gaps found by the

auditor._______________

LIFTING FUNDAMENTAL TRAINING by Sean

T h e H S E d e p a r t m e n t h a d

init iated a Lift ing Fundamental

Seminar that was conducted at

DM’s Tanjong Kupang Yard (TKY).

T h i s s e m i n a r e n h a n c e s t h e

k n o w l e d g e o f t h e p r o j e c t

management team in proper

procedure of lifting and rigging. Mr.

Seet, Mr. Alan, and Mr. Kim from

Crosby Inc. Group facilitated the

seminar on the 28th and 29th of April

2015. The Idea of the seminar is to

eliminate anxiety of lifting operations

due to looming incidents involving

crane operations in the industry. HSE

always believe in improving Dyna-

Mac Staff’s competencies to stay

ahead o f compet i t ion . . . . . . . . . .

RESCUE EFFORT IS BEYOND OBSTACLES, AND NO BARRIER TOO BIG OR SMALL CAN STOP US SERVING IN ANY GIVEN SITUATION AT ANY PREMISES.

WORK AT HEIGHT RESCUE

Working at Height is one of the

most common activities that are

prone to accident. Especially in

DM, majority of the workers are

involved in certain work at height

activities during the construction of

topside modules. In view of that,

DM’s ERT conducted a Work at

Height rescue on 21st March 2015,

together with DM’s Medical Team.

A dummy was used in place of a

real person during the process of

rescue. Further evaluation such as,

a r e a s o f i m p r o v e m e n t a n d

execution time were discussed

towards the end of the exercise.

This ensure that all HSE personnel

are executing the exercise at their

fu l le s t potent ia l . ___________

.

A minor incident can escalate into a major one if it is not treated in time. Therefore, it is important that our rescue team

carries out the rescue/drill in the shortest time available. Trainings in both fire-fighting and rescue drills are vital to prep our

rescue team in times of emergency. Every step of the rescue procedure is critical. Hence, a well analyzed plan should be

drawn up before the execution of a drill. This will enable the team to carry out their task efficiently in actual situation. The teams

effort translates to their effectiveness which consequently gains trust and confidence of the workforce.

2nd Quarter HSE Activities By Emam

FOCUS ON CLIENT SATISFACTION

FIRE WATCHMAN TRAINING Fire watchmen training allows

the workers to better understand

hazards that arise from hot work

activities. The intention was to

simulate a real life fire-fighting

scenario, which place the workers

in a position where they have to

assess and react according to the

given situation. In accordance to

the requirement of the Ministry of

M a n p o w e r ( M O M ) , a f i r e

watchman has to be in place

during any hot work activity. All

MOM’s safety requirements are

strictly adhered to in DM, because

we believe that it will benefit

everyone, and the company as a

w h o l e . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .

Regular fire watchman trainings

a r e a v a i l a b l e t o b o t h D M

personnel and contractors, which

are usually conducted at the end

of every month.__________ .

OIL SPILL CONTROL AND PREPAREDENESS DRILL

DM’s HSE covers various safety

aspects that includes rescues,

t ra i n i ngs a nd ra i s i ng s a fe t y

a w a r e n e s s . . _ _ _ _ . . . . . .……… . .

On the 18th of April 2015, DM’s

Emergency Response Team (ERT)

conducted an Oil Spill Control &

Preparedness Drill. This drill simulates

an oil spill, which then leads to an

oil combustion that requires the

activation of DM’s ERT. In DM, we

adopt a basic fire-fighting response

protocol that begins with saw dust

oil absorption to contain the oil ,

followed by cleaning up at later

stage. The entire procedure was

b r o k e n d o w n i n t o v a r i o u s

segments, which were meticulously

planned and analyzed to ensure

that all personnel are familiar with

the procedure. ._____ . .…… . . .

The redevelopment of the UZ field will present many technological and operating ‘firsts’ for ZADCO which will

provide opportunities for additional development applications in the Gulf. “

To understand the significance of this project, we have to take a closer look at the past events leading to the

accomplishment of the first strike steel.

A MOMENTOUS EVENT HAS FORMED A SILHOUETTE WHERE THE BENEFITS OF HSE IS TAKING ITS INITIAL STEPS TO LOBE THE FUTURE OF DYNA-MAC.

(Cont’d fr. pg. 8) - Petrofac Emirates was selected to build its Oil Production Module

on 27th May 2013. The modules will be added to the Upper Zakum (UZ) oil field to

achieve the 750,000 Barrels of Oil Per Day (BOPD) from the current 550,000. DSME,

together with Petrofac Emirates (PE) had awarded a contract to Dyna-Mac to

fabricate 12 modules.

Given DM’s proven track record in the topsides fabrication, together with its well

established HSE system, has put the company among the top consideration of

Petrofac Emirates. DM top management has noted key improvements from their

last visit to DSME yard (S. Korea) in late 2013. HSE department has since revamped

to meet the management’s expectation as well as to prepare for the upcoming

major milestone.

Initiatives were sited in an effort to

strengthen the firm HSE system and

ensure its sustainability. One of such

initiatives was the implementation of

DM 15 Life Saving Rules.

We have the responsibility to comply

with client and shipyard regulations and

we successfully integrated this into one

project safety management system.

DSME, Petrofac Emirates and Zadco

have all given their full support to make

project HSE achievable.

Through the years of DM activities,

major development and breakthroughs

in both HSE and quality were witnessed.

We have proven our capabilities and

reputation in building solid structures on

time. We will justify it again with our on-

going projects.

RELIABILITY OF A SHOCK ABSORBER by Eric

The shock absorber prevents

hard impact from falls, it does its

function in dissipating the impact

by tearing itself to allow the

lanyard extend its length. Without

this device, the body would

absorb most of the impact. It

needs to be inspected for obvious

defects or early signs of wear and

tear. The device is to be used as

specified and must be replaced if

Reliability is time clicking By Matin

UNDERSTANDING BASIC REQUIREMENTS:

Wearing good quality and reliable

PPE is important in protecting our body

when at work in the yards. It must be

worn properly to serve its intended

function and does not last a lifetime. It

loses integrity over time due to wear

and tear or exposure to external

e l e m e n t s . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Hardhat protects your head from

falling objects and using better quality

means better protection over time. The

hat is made from durable material such

as High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) – a

thermoplastic. HDPE deteriorates with

weather exposure and contemplates

with prolonged periods. To keep it in

good condition, proper cleaning and

storage is advised. Use lukewarm water

with mild detergent to get rid of oily

subs tances and d i r t wh ich can

generally affect the plastic integrity.

Store in places away from heat, dust

and oil . Do not use any abrasive

materials to clean the surface as it will

weaken the profile. The harness/

headband has a life span of 2 years

and should be replaced at an earlier

d a t e . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Typical hard hat would have an

engraved or embossed numer ic

containing the date and year of

manufacture. In Singapore context, this

helmet has due period of three years or

to be replaced on signs of deterioration

like cracks and shape deformation or

when exposed to or under the sunlight

for a prolonged period of time. Keep

your hard hat inside cool places like

locker or drawer. If you don’t have

these items, keep it in a place with

room temperature. While most of the

PPE we use fol lows standards, i ts

reliability still depends on how the person

use and store it. ___________________

CHECKING RELIABILTY OF YOUR PPE IS A NORM, NEGLECT IS ONLY THE LAST THING IN YOUR MIND.

Note the year is13 and the arrow points to 5, meaning the hard hat was manufactured in May 2013

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR IN GRINDING by Eric

GRINDING AND CUTTING DISK HAS DIFFERENT USAGE AND MUST BE CLEAR BEFORE ANYONE USE IT FOR WORK. A typical grinding wheel is

called “Tapered Wheel” which is

straight wheel that tapers outward

and towards the center of the

wheel. This arrangement is stronger

than straight wheels and is able to

handle higher lateral loads.

Tapered face straight wheel is

primarily used for grinding to

smoothen metal surfaces after a

gas cutting procedure. A cutting

wheel or normally called “Cut Off

Wheel” are self-sharpening wheels

that are thin in width and often

have radial fibers reinforcing them.

They are often used in the

construction industry for cutting

protruding bolts or anything that

needs quick removal or trimming.

A cut off wheel is not designed for

other use thus breaks when used

for grinding. Both has written

information on the size and

revolution per minute (RPM). Its

designed RPM cannot be less than

that of the portable grinder to

avoid rupture on use. The portable

grinder has information showing

maximum RPM and this serves as a

guidance before use. Understand

all the information given before

use to prevent any mishandling.
