Day 9: It is My Job!


After an interesting session with Mr. Jamalul Hayat, we moved on to the next and final session by the Unit Kesihatan Pekerjaan Dan Alam Sekitar (KPAS). The officer in charge is PPKP Mr. Adzmir bin Hamzah.

The main duties and role of the unit are
I. Nuisance complaint investigation
II. Health surveillance of employees
III. Inspection of school/ NS camp site
IV. Planning and Coordinating Healthy Settings project.
V. Incident Surveillance among stuff on needle stick injury.

The roles of the KPAS unit can be broadly divided into 2:

A. The health of the workers
• Employment related illnesses and accident notification
• Oversight of medical practice
• JKKKP
• Staff inspection (>35 years old)
• Safety audit
• Training

B. Environmental health
• Haze
• Disaster
• Prosperous place
• Healthy setting

After an overview of the KPAS’s functions, Mr. Adzmir then briefed us on the OSH Act 1994, notification of occupational diseases and poisoning (WEHU D1 & D2), occupational injury (WEHU A1 &A2). The most important part is on the notification of needle stick injury which actually occurred in the year of 2010. He too shares his experience on safety auditing, including at the Illegal Foreign Workers Depot, schools, national service camp site and market. The KPAS unit also responds to complaints from the public regarding environmental health and pollution.

According to Mr. Adzmir, from the year of 2007 to 2010, there is only one healthy setting project being executed per year compared to the year of 2005 and 2006 which is 4 and 2 respectively. This is due to the financial constrains and stagnant development.

Besides this, he shows us some personal protective equipment (PPE) of the DHO staff, mainly foggers. Equipments are mainly purchased from 3M, as recommended by the state level, such as industry helmets, ear plugs, rubber shoes, gloves, and safety goggles. All these are basic equipment to ensure the safety of the employee.

Amazingly, there are no any major occupational injuries or diseases in Sik thus far. The KPAS unit ensures that the authorities provide good safety to the employees by yearly inspection and assessment.

I'm here to give my testimony how I was cured from HIV, I contacted my HIV via blade. A friend of my use blade to peel of her finger nails and drop it where she use it, so after she has left i did know what came unto me i looked at my nails, my nails were very long and I took the blade which she just used on her own nails to cut of my finger nails, as i was maintaining my names, i mistakenly injured myself. I did even bother about it, so when I got to the hospital the next week when i was ill the doctor told me that I am HIV positive, i wondered where did i got it from so i remembered how I use my friend blade to cut off my hand so i feel so sad in my heart to the extent that i don’t even know what to do, so one day i was passing through the internet i met a testimony of a lady that all talk about how she was cured by a doctor called DR Imoloa so i quickly emailed the doctor and he also replied to me and told me the requirements which i will provide and I do according to his command, he prepare a herbal medicine for me which I took. He message me the following week that i should go for a test which i did to my own surprise i found that i was HIV negative.
