Measuring the Critical Success Factor of Safety Program in Drilling and Well Intervention Operation at PT. MHK, Ltd.

The drilling and well intervention division implements various safety initiatives to prevent incidents. Despite its multiple activities, an assessment has yet to be conducted to determine the program’s efficacy. This paper aims to determine the elements that impact the effectiveness of safety program execution in drilling and well intervention operations in MHK, Ltd. The Author conducted measurements utilizing variables related to the critical success factor of the safety program, as outlined in the cross-reference research article. Subsequently, the author introduces a system of incentives in variables quantified as a novelty of this research based on input from subject matter experts. By understanding the variables that influence the efficacy of the safety campaign, the safety campaign initiatives will be more focused on mitigating accidents within the drilling and well intervention divisions. The research was conducted utilizing a quantitative approach, where data was gathered through a questionnaire that employed a Likert scale. The population comprises individuals employed in the Drilling and Well Intervention roles at many locations, including the site, field, barge, rig, and town. The data is further analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) technique, employing the smartPLS4 software. The study findings indicated that three out of five variables examined had a favorable and significant impact on the efficacy of the safety program at DWI MHK, Ltd.: management commitment, reward and punishment, and safety arrangement. We propose strengthening identified elements and addressing weaknesses, including utilizing digitalization and artificial intelligence for safety monitoring.

Safety attitudes among workers in Malaysian chemical manufacturing plants

AbstractStatistics in Malaysia show that accident cases in the manufacturing industry are the highest compared with other sectors. Concerns regarding changing workers' attitudes, controlling their current perceptions, and installing knowledge and experiences that travel through the culture are necessary. This study investigates workers' attitudes to safety between executives and operators. A total number of 309 respondents voluntarily participated. Results report that respondents' attitude toward individual responsibility (M = 4.24, SD = 0.63) is the highest, followed by the effectiveness of safety arrangements (M = 3.91, SD = 0.81) and safeness of the work environment (M = 3.17, SD = 0.73). Results revealed a significant difference between groups (t = 6.67, p = 0.014) for personal skepticism and (t = 15.775, p = 0.001) for personal immunity. There was a statistically positive correlation between attitudes measured with selected demographic factors. It can be concluded that increases in the level of education were associated with increases in individual responsibility, and an increase in age was directly correlated with increases in the effectiveness of safety arrangements. Furthermore, different groups of workers influence their attitudes toward safety arrangements and safeness of the work environment. This study can be used as a preliminary study or the first step for enhancing an organizational safety culture through behavior and attitude change.

Improving the Safety of Megaconstruction Projects

Megaconstruction projects (MCPs) have many beneficial impacts on urban development, such as the creation of infrastructure for other industries, economic development, and employment generation. Global spending on MCPs implies an investment boom in the construction sector. In such a scenario, the safety of workers at worksites becomes a major social responsibility and challenge. The construction industry has the highest accident rate and is considered the most dangerous industry globally. It is thus imperative to prevent such a situation and move toward safer construction. Many studies exist on safety issues in construction projects, some of which have determined critical success factors (CSFs) for safety. However, safety studies specifically on MCPs are limited. In the literature, no study was found to have determined CSFs for the safety performance of MCPs. To fill this gap, this study aimed to determine success attributes for the safety of MCPs, evaluate their underlying structure, and determine CSFs and their relative importance. Based on a literature survey and discussions with experts, attributes were prepared. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey, in which industry experts with experience of handling megaprojects were asked to rate the degree of safety arrangements in a select megaproject with which they were associated. They were also asked to rate the impact of attributes on the safety of the project. Subsequently, exploratory factor analysis was conducted to group the attributes into smaller sets of factors. Using multiple regression analysis, CSFs and their relative importance were determined. This study found five success factors and three CSFs. The CSFs were as follows: management support and commitment, adherence to safety rules and procedures, and a proactive approach of supervisory staff. The findings of this study have theoretical as well as practical application. In theory, this study adds to the body of knowledge, while in practice it provides CSFs for safety for stakeholders to adopt in their projects to enhance their safety performance. Since this study is unique to megaprojects, a need exists for similar studies to be conducted in the future to create a pool of data for comparison and further analysis.

Analisis Sistem Manajemen Security PT. Kereta Api Indonesia

The application of safety is an important matter in carrying out activities inland transportation including railroad transportation. Jabodetabek travel routes are handled directly by PT. Kereta Komuter Indonesia. This activity certainly requires a lot of human labor so safety is very important in this regard. With the existence of safety arrangements, it will avoid any related things from accidents or losses due to the delay in the completion of work caused by the inaccurate company safety management system. Therefore each element involved in each activity requires further knowledge and understanding of the core factors that are in accordance with the safety management system used. Referring to this approach, research is carried out on the railroad industry in Indonesia by developing a safety model in the railway industry. The research was conducted by finding the right literature and then developing a model for the factors considered appropriate to be applied to the safety management system in railroad transportation in Indonesia. After the model was developed, the model was confirmed by the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) approach with the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. The results of the study will prove that the factors developed in the safety model are positively related to the implementation of commuter train safety management in Indonesia.

Legal Protection of Tourists in High-Risk Tourism Activities According to Consumer Protection Law

In tourism activities, business actors are required to provide protection to tourists according to the mandate of Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection (UUPK). UUPK has regulated that tourists have rights, including security and comfort when traveling, especially in high-risk areas. Security and comfort are then regulated in SOPs which cover human resources, equipment, and services. This study examines how business actors provide legal protection for tourists in diving tourism as high-risk tourism. This study uses a normative legal method by dissecting principles and norms in SOP documents for the diving tourism business actors, and UUPK. The results of this study indicate that arrangements for legal protection and safety of tourists, and the rights of tourists as users or consumers of services in the tourism sector, both have been regulated in UUPK. Business actors also need to pay attention to several aspects in the diving tourism business. However, currently, there are still many business actors that prepare SOPs with exoneration clauses that are detrimental to tourists. Safety and comfort are not guaranteed, causing many victims to die and inappropriate compensation. Efforts to resolve disputes that can be carried out are litigation and non-litigation, however most business actors take non-litigation procedure using the mediation method.

Neubau Bahnstromkraftwerk Obervellach II

AbstractIn the interests of climate protection, ÖBB Infrastruktur AG traditionally focuses on the sustainable use of hydro‐electric power for the generation of traction current for the railways. After about 100 years in service, the existing Obervellach I and Lassach power stations will be replaced by the more efficient new Obervellach II and Kaponig plants. With an increased output of 38 MW and a regular working capacity of 125 GWh per year, around 30,000 high speed journeys from Villach to Vienna will be possible.The challenges in the course of the submission, tender and project planning were the complexity of the project and its size. In particular, the hydraulic, geographical, geological and ecological conditions required cross‐disciplinary cooperation in all phases of the planning. Likewise, close coordination between the contractor and the local construction supervision took place and continues to take place in the course of the project.The vastness of the project area requires sophisticated logistics in its execution. The tunnelling work, in particular, was challenging due to the small cross‐section to be excavated and the tunnel length. A special feature is the use of a full‐round formwork carriage. During the work along the high pressure down pipe in impassable terrain, using a cableway for carrying material, the focus is on the parallel health and safety arrangements in the construction and equipment activities. The whole project is planned to be commissioned in March 2024.

Assessing food safety compliance for food SMEs in Indonesia

In Indonesia, SMEs are still being the backbone of the national economy due to their strategic roles in creating economic growth, providing a large share of the job opportunity, encouraging more equal distribution of economic powers, and contributing to the economic development of the community and to the supply of food products for public consumption. SMEs are also have been growing rapidly and mostly is mushrooming in big cities. However, this vital role and rapid growth have not been followed by the development and updating of food safety arrangements, thus many SMEs are unable to comply with the food safety standards and causing various food safety problems. This study assesses the challenges faced by the SMEs in food safety compliance by conducting a literature review and extracting the information from several major/primary papers (academic literature review and gray literature search) to recognize the major gaps and to propose strategic recommendation in the end. It is concluded that in Indonesia, the compliance failures in food SMEs are most likely due to lack of regulatory knowledge and awareness of the importance of food safety principles, lack of proper attention from the government, and the illegal motive to achieve maximum profit with minimum production cost.

Critical Success Factors of Safety Program Implementation in Construction Projects in Iraq

The construction sector is recognized as one of the most dangerous industries in the world. The situation is worsening in Iraq, as a result of a lack of attention to safety in the building industry and the poor implementation of safety programs. This research aims to identify the critical safety factors (CSFs) of safety program implementation in the Iraqi construction industry. The CSFs were first identified from a review of literature before being verified by construction practitioners, using semi-structured interviews. A questionnaire, based on the verified CSFs, was distributed to construction practitioners in Iraq. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to analyze the quantitative data, and the results show that the CSFs can be categorized into four constructs: worker involvement, safety prevention and control system, safety arrangement, and management commitment. Following that, partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was executed to establish the connection between safety program implementation and overall project success. The result confirms that safety program implementation has a significant, positive impact on project success. This article contributes to knowledge and practice by identifying the CSFs for implementing safety programs in the Iraqi construction industry. The successful implementation of a safety program not only improves safety performance, but also helps to meet other project goals.

Pengaturan Keselamatan dan Keamanan Pelayaran di Perairan Indonesia

Indonesia is a maritime country surrounded by a sea that is rich in natural resources, therefore a unified system is needed to maintain security and also to allocate all energy sources offered by the sea so that it can be managed appropriately. The management of water safety and security in Indonesia is regulated in Law Number 17 of 2008 concerning Shipping. In this research, there are two main problems that will be examined, namely first about the management arrangements for safety and security requirements in Indonesian maritime territory and second What is the authority of the local government in developing the safety and security requirements of shipping in Indonesian maritime territory. This research is a normative legal research, using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The result of this research is the management of shipping coaching is carried out by the government. The form of guidance carried out by the government is in the form of supervision, control and regulation. Legal protection for the administration of regional autonomy is in line with the provisions of Law Number 23 o/2014 which involves regional governments and carries out legal protection for various government affairs in the context of community service and natural resource management.

Low Shipping Safety Management in Indonesian Archipelagic Sea (ALKI)

The Indonesian Archipelagic Sea (ALKI) is a sea channel. ALKI II and III are routes that are busy by ships so that they have a positive impact on the growth of ship traffic in KTI. However, this has not been accompanied by an optimal safety system, especially due to the unpreparedness of the operators and regulators. This study uses quantitative analysis methods to assess the application of safety management through respondents’ opinions. The results of the study indicate that shipping safety arrangements still require improvement, in particular strengthening the ability of ship crews to handle actions at sea, understanding of safety management for owners and operators, and more intensive supervision of personnel. However, the government has made efforts to synergize national laws and regulations related to shipping safety to improve safety management in ALKI 2 and 3.

WITHDRAWN: Implementation of wireless home-based automation and safety arrangement using power electronic switches

The tools and technology used in home based automation on 6LoWPAN are described in this paper. This is an IP-based protocol, which benefits from the absence of any additional layer or logic for node communication in or out of the network. Remote controls of the home automation system and home appliances have been a field of focus since the conception of the Personal Area Network. Our personal world became smarter and more digital gadgets by implementing IOTs (internet of things) and handheld devices. There are also many foundational wireless protocols for this reason in today's industry. This problem has always been an economical compromise for separate home appliances for a complete house environment and interoperability. This paper looks at both facets of home automation by switching the emphasis from smart to home systems to the point where the technology is powered (the switches). The two aspects of home automation are discussed. For these switches, we have alternate power semiconductor switch alternates and eventually edge them to a module for home automation and control over Internet/intranet. For the entire safety of home automation, a working house automation concept is presented, along with intelligent electronic control changes and a model architype.

Determinants of effective action on workplace safety and health in global companies — The case of global network container terminal operators

Container terminals are critical nodes in the globalisation of trade. Many are operated by global companies with strong corporate rhetoric espousing zero tolerance of injury and ill-health. Yet operational practices often contribute to the intensification of work and outsourcing of labour; conditions associated with poor safety and health. Serious and fatal injuries and ill-health continue to occur in these terminals. With reference to the findings of a study of occupational safety and health (OSH) arrangements in terminals operated by four of the largest operators, key contextual determinants in the terminals’ labour relations and regulatory environments that influence practice and outcomes are identified. The influences are compared in different national settings and, the paper finds, like multinational companies generally, global operators are obliged to adapt and reflect local contexts. In relation to OSH best practice, a critical influence is the way that local context acts to constrain and challenge business logics and interests. This acts to make 'best practice' more likely where companies are constrained in this way, regardless of the claims of their corporate rhetoric.

Covid-19 and University Admission Exams: A Bangladesh Perspective

Background: Educational institutions have been closed in Bangladesh due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and board exams like Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) exams, as well as university admission exams have been suspended. Secondary school students have been promoted based on past performance. As the time has come for students to take admission into universities, educational authorities must make decisions about the logistical and public health arrangements that could allow universities to conduct admission exams.Design and methods: The public health and lockdown policies were analyzed during the timeframe of 25th March to 15th October. Time series models of the trend of COVID-19 were prepared for the near future using the ARIMA technique, for the lockdown phase and the post lockdown phase. This was evaluated in juxtaposition with the restrictions relating to travel, work, schools, public gatherings, face masks etc. The models were then used to forecast positivity rates for two weeks into the future.Results: The curve was not bent during the strict lockdown phase, but the post lockdown phase eventually saw a decline in positivity rates. The best models selected were ARIMA(0,1,7) for the lockdown stage, and ARIMA(7,1,0) for the post lockdown stage. AIC, BIC, RMSE, MAE, and MAPE criteria were used for model selection.Conclusions: Many restrictions of the lockdown phase have been continued until the present time, and disease case positivity rates have declined. However, the resumption of work and domestic travel has not prevented the control of the spread of the disease. It may therefore be possible to conduct in person admission test exams for universities, while maintaining social distancing, face masks and other public health measures.Significance for public healthThe outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted educational activities worldwide, moved classes to the online platform, and delayed exams, graduations and admissions. Bangladesh has one of the most conservative and risk averse policies when it comes to opening educational institutions during the pandemic. However, a prolonged and indefinite delay in allowing essential milestones like university admission exams can hamper the progress and competitiveness of millions of Bangladeshi students in their careers. If the spread of the disease is not increasing in the near future, it can be possible to organize university admission tests with proper health and safety arrangements, to enable students to continue their higher education journey. This study makes short term predictions of the progression of COVID-19 in Bangladesh, using ARIMA models, to advise educational authorities about policy and logistical measures to enable this journey.

The purpose of this research is to study new trends and the system for the welfare and safety management of the Office of the Welfare Promotion Commission for Teachers and Education Personnel. The scope of the study is the teachers and education personnel in 5 provinces in lower northern academic area 1 covering Tak, Pitsanulok, Petchaboon, Sukhothai and Uttaradit. This study uses qualitative research methods. The research found that with regard to new trends in welfare and safety management of the Office of the Welfare Promotion Commission for Teachers and Education Personnel, for welfare management, temporary accommodation should be provided according to the teacher’s needs. Medical check-up services should cover life threatening diseases. The transportation allowance or reduction should include a variety of vehicles. Moreover, life insurance for teachers should be increased. For safety management, the interest rate on loans from the cremation fund for teachers and education personnel should be reduced and the loan application should be verified in order to meet the fund’s objective. For honors and recognition, there should be scholarships for master’s degrees and funding for research or academic performance. The categories and classes of the awards should be adjusted according to the teacher’s accreditation. There should be a greater variety of awards for teachers. With regard to the proposed system of welfare and safety management by the Office of the Welfare Promotion Commission for Teachers and Education Personnel, the welfare and safety management for teachers and education personnel should be arranged for their entire career as divided to three phases: before starting their career, during working, and after resignation or retirement by focusing on the care and development of teachers and educational personnel throughout their entire life, both physically and mentally. The promotion of accreditation for teachers and education personnel should be supported. In addition, the service should be changed from timely to integrated throughout the full cycle of the teacher and education personnel’s life by changing from financial support to support to each person.
