Air panas ragut nyawa bayi
KANGAR: Seorang kanak-kanak perempuan berusia dua tahun 11 bulan dari Kampung Sungai Bugis, Simpang Empat, dekat sini yang melecur teruk daripada perut hingga lutut selepas terkena air panas tiga hari lalu, disahkan meninggal dunia, awal pagi semalam.
Mangsa, Noraini Syazwani Abdullah, disahkan meninggal dunia ketika menerima rawatan intensif di Hospital Sultanah Bahiyah (HSB) Alor Setar kira-kira jam 1.20 pagi selepas bertarung nyawa akibat melecur teruk.
Ketua Siasatan Jenayah negeri, Superintendan Nashir Ya, ketika mengesahkan kejadian berkenaan berkata, pihaknya menolak sebarang unsur jenayah berhubung insiden air panas itu.
Beliau berkata, bagi kes Noraini Syazwani, kejadian berlaku di kediaman keluarga kanak-kanak terbabit ketika ibu mangsa, 19, yang kini mengandung tujuh bulan dikatakan menuang air panas yang baru dimasak ke dalam balang.
“Syazwani yang ketika kejadian sedang bermain tiba-tiba menerpa ke arah ibunya, sebelum air panas tiba-tiba tertumpah secara tidak sengaja, lalu tersimbah ke badannya.
“Mangsa yang melecur teruk dikejarkan ke Hospital Tuanku Fauziah (HTF) di sini, sebelum dipindahkan ke HSB beberapa jam kemudian. Dia bagaimanapun disahkan meninggal dunia awal pagi tadi (semalam) selepas lebih tiga hari dirawat,” katanya di sini, semalam.
Nashir berkata, pihaknya menjalankan siasatan berhubung kes berkenaan berdasarkan laporan diterima dan mengesahkan kematian mangsa tidak membabitkan sebarang unsur jenayah.
“Polis percaya kejadian pada petang 24 Januari lalu itu berlaku atas dasar kemalangan serta kecuaian dan kes diklasifikasikan sebagai mati mengejut,” katanya.
Dalam kejadian berasingan pada hari sama Isnin lalu, seorang kanak-kanak berusia dua tahun parah terkena air panas ketika berada di pusat jagaan kanak-kanak di Repoh, Kuala Perlis, dekat sini dan sedang menerima rawatan lanjut di HTF. Nashir berkata, mangsa, Anis Syafiah Shukri, dilaporkan cedera pada paha akibat terkena air panas pada petang Rabu lalu.
“Kejadian itu disedari ibu bapa mangsa selepas dimaklumkan penjaga pusat asuhan terbabit ketika mengambil anak mereka di pusat jagaan berkenaan kira-kira jam 6 petang.
Berdasarkan maklumat awal, katanya, kejadian berlaku ketika mangsa bersama 10 kanak-kanak lain bersiap sedia untuk mandi di bahagian dapur pusat jagaan berkenaan, sebelum mangsa terlanggar meja dan terjatuh.
“Ketika itu, besen berisi air panas yang digunakan untuk memanaskan susu terbalik dan tertumpah ke atas paha kanak-kanak itu, menyebabkan perut dan tangannya melecur. Dia kemudian dibawa ke klinik kesihatan di sini, sebelum dirujuk ke HTF.
“Polis menerima laporan daripada bapa mangsa, Shukri Shuib, 36, mendakwa anaknya didera. Bagaimanapun siasatan mengikut Seksyen 324 Kanun Keseksaan mengesahkan tiada sebarang unsur penderaan dan klasifikasikan sebagai kecuaian serta kemalangan,” katanya.

CONFINED SPACE: Practise safety at work and end tragedies
THE recent tragedy in which six Filipino labourers died after accidently inhaling carbon monoxide while cleaning a tank at the Kampong Lawa Gadong Water Treatment plant in Beaufort, Sabah, has once again highlighted the poor work safety at the workplace.
This is not the first such incident. Over the years, a number of labourers have died while working in confined spaces at shipyards, silos or manholes when carrying out sewerage repairs or when doing maintenance works.
It is interesting to note that accidents in confined spaces display several common features. The work to be done is not a routine one and it is irregular. The person involved is usually a contract employee with poor safety awareness and education and few or none of the standard safeguards are provided to them. In most cases, safe practices and procedures are neglected and people with basic first-aid and CPR skills are not available when needed.
Those who work in confined spaces are exposed to risks and dangers that usually result in fatality. In 2001, nine workers were killed while repairing a ship in Pasir Gudang.
Investigations by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) showed that most accidents occurred due to employers’ failure to apply and implement safe systems of work in confined spaces.
Lack of coordination and control while conducting activities in such confined spaces pose immense danger to the workers. It is dangerous if, for instance, maintenance of a highly flammable pipe system is done simulwithout coordination or control.
Apart from that, sub-contractors who have no knowledge of working in confined spaces, risk their lives much more than the others. They are usually not equipped with proper tools and do not know or have safe operating procedures.
Statistics show that most accidents occur in silo, hopper, pressurised vessels or tanks and trenches. The victims either die of toxic poisoning or suffocation due to lack of oxygen.
The Code of Practice for Confined Space Safety was introduced in 2001 to ensure employers provide adequate safety to their employees when they work in confined spaces.
It provides detailed explanation on safety measures such as the training involved, rescue procedures, contractors’ responsibility and the control measures.
Accidents can be avoided if employers are committed to implementing the code. I would like to call upon every employer to use it as a guide to create a safer working condition while implementing a healthier work system — in line with OSHA 1994.
National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (Niosh) has been conducting training to employees who work in confined spaces to help minimise accidents and tragedies.

Tiga kereta hangus akibat kerosakan bateri
Akhbar metro melaporkan kebakaran kereta disebabkan oleh batteri. Salah satu punca kebakaran mungkin disebabkan "battery shorted". Bagaimana batteri kereta anda boleh menyebabkan kebakaran? lihatlah video yang di link ke youtube seperti diatas. Oleh sebab itu lah terdapat getah bewarna MERAH yang melindungi salah satu terminal batteri kereta. Sekiranya kedua-dua terminal (+ dan -) bersentuhan, akibatnya seperti video di atas.
GEORGETOWN: Kebakaran tiga kereta yang diletak di kawasan parkir berhampiran Kompleks Masyarakat Uplifting Moral di Jalan Macalister/Jalan Nunn, di sini, mengejutkan ratusan penganut Hindu yang berpusu-pusu menuju ke Kuil Chettiar Natukotai Arulmigu Balatandayuthabany ketika sambutan Thaipusam di Jalan Kebun Bunga, di sini, malam kelmarin.
Kebakaran kira-kira jam 11.40 malam itu membabitkan tiga kereta Proton Wira Aeroback, Perodua Alza dan Nissan Sentra dipercayai berpunca dari salah sebuah kereta yang mengalami kerosakan bateri.
Bagaimanapun tiada mangsa dilaporkan cedera atau terkorban. Pemilik Proton Wira, K Mahindran dari Butterworth berkata, dia dan keluarga baru turun dari kereta untuk bersembahyang sebelum rakannya menghubungi memberitahu keretanya terbakar.

Shoppers to pay 20 sen for each plastic bag on Saturdays
THE STAR
PETALING JAYA: Shoppers throughout the country will now have to pay 20 sen for each plastic bag when they shop at hypermarkets, supermarkets and Petronas service stations on Saturdays.The move, which is already in force in Selangor and introduced to reduce the eight billion plastic bags used each year in Malaysia, caught many shoppers by surprise.
Other developments:
> The sum charged will go to a special fund which will benefit the environment and community;
> Plastic industry players in Penang have expressed unhappiness, vowing to distribute 30,000 free bags in defiance of the move.
FAKTA:
-
Dianggarkan sebanyak 500 billion bag plastik digunakan setiap tahun di seluruh dunia… pada kadar sejuta helai seminit.
- Bag plastik mengambil masa lebih kurang 500 tahun untuk reput secara semula jadi.
-
secara purata setiap orang menggunakan 296 helai bag plastik bagi 27 juta penduduk Malaysia.Jika di Malaysia kita menggunakan sebanyak 8 billion bag plastik setahun.
- Kemanakah bag plastic ini pergi?. Di bakar, di tanam, di gunakan semula, di makan haiwan atau di buang merata-rata…
- Pengurangan bag plastic juga akan mengurangkan pengeluaran CO2. Bag plastik menggunakan minyak sebagai bahan asas. Jika kita mampu mengurangkan 25% daripada 8 billion bag plastic ini, kita akan mengurangkan pengeluaran gas CO2 sebanyak 63 Tan setahun,; bersamaan dengan pengurangan sebanyak 18000 kereta di jalan raya.

Lorry with heavy white smoke
While driving to Kuantan Damansara, I met this incident, which created potential major traffic accident. I cannot saw even the end of engine bonnet and navigated by assuming that line is straight. The lorry produced very heavy white smoke, and most of the car travelling more than 70kmh. Based on internet it happened due to;
In this case, we've smell the unburned diesel. Luckily no accident happened.
Statistik Kematian Kemalangan Tempat Kerja Tahun 2009
Selamat menyambut tahun baru 2011. Semoga kehadiran tahun baru ini bakal memberikan kesejahteraan kepada semua rakyat Malaysia. Ketika saya melakarkan graf di blog ini berdasarkan statistik daripada laman web DOSH Malaysia, hujan lebat sedang turun semenjak 12 jam yang lalu. Kebimbangan kini kepada bencana banjir yang akan dituruti oleh kes-kes mati lemas dikalangan kanak-kanak. Kehilangan merka bukan sahaja dirasai oleh keluarga bah kan juga oleh negara. Negara akan kehilangan aset terpenting untuk pembangunan iaitu "Sumber Tenaga Manusia". Pada usia yang muda mereka bukan sahaja produktif bah kah mempunyai idea, kebijakan dan kemahiran yang penting buat kemajuan keluarga dan negara. Semoga 2011 akan membawa kita kearah kehidupan yang lebih selamat dan sejahtera, serta di jauh kan dari bala bencana.
