PENCEGAHAN LEBIH BAIK DARI BERUBAT


sumber berita


Tengku Adnan

KUALA LUMPUR: Pusat Tahfiz Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah, Jalan Keramat Hujung, di sini, dilaporkan tidak memenuhi tahap keselamatan ditetapkan.

Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan, Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor, berkata pusat tahfiz berkenaan hanya mempunyai satu laluan keluar dan masuk menuju ke tingkat atas.

"Kita memuji langkah pengurusan pusat tahfiz yang menawarkan pendidikan percuma kepada pelajar yang terdiri daripada keluarga kurang berkemampuan, namun aspek keselamatan perlu diberi keutamaan.

"Berdasarkan tinjauan bersama Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL), kita dapati wujud kesalahan kerana premis ini hanya mempunyai satu laluan dan ia berbahaya dari segi keselamatan," katanya selepas meninjau lokasi kejadian, pagi tadi.

Tengku Adnan berkata, pemilik dan pengurusan pusat tahfiz berkenaan juga didapati tidak mempunyai kelulusan Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat serta DBKL untuk menjalankan aktiviti pengajian tahfiz di premis berkenaan.

"Kadang-kadang bila kita tegur dan suruh tutup sesebuah premis, saya dan DBKL dimarahi dan dikatakan berlaku tidak adil namun sebenarnya kita tidak mahu perkara seperti ini berlaku," katanya.

Katanya, beliau sudah mengarahkan semua pegawai di Kementerian Wilayah Persekutuan dan DBKL menjalankan pemeriksaan ke atas semua pusat tahfiz di ibu negara dan Putrajaya, hari ini.

Nota


Saya harap pembaca membaca dulu halatuju komen yang saya tulis ini. Ianya tidak berniat untuk menyalahkan samada pihak tahfiz mahupun pihak berkuasa. Yang sudah berlaku, sudahpun berlaku - yang telah pergi, telah pun pergi dan tidak dapat dikembalikan lagi.

Yang penting, apa langkah kita selanjutnya untuk mengelakkan perkara yang sama berulang - sebagai salah satu dari cabang usaha ikhtiar?
----------------

Innaa lillaahi wa innaa ilaihi roo ji-'uun - Al-Fatihah.
Pertama saya ingin merakamkan ucapan takziah kepada keluarga yang terlibat. Semoga semua anak-anak ini digolongkan Allah SWT di kalangan syuhada. Saya harap dapatlah kaum keluarga redha akan tragedi ini.
Apa yang disebut oleh Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor memang ada kebenarannya. Namun pada saya, DBKL perlu bertegas demi keselamatan premis terutamanya yang berada di tengah-tengah bandaraya.
Atas dasar kemanusiaan, saya turut bersetuju dengan apa yang disebut oleh YB Menteri Wilayah mengenai perkhidmatan percuma yang diberikan oleh tahfiz berkenaan tetapi aspek keselamatan dan kesihatan pekerjaan perlu bersifat preventif serta bukannya "corrective". Ianya seolah-olah kita menanti bencana akan berlaku. Kita tidak boleh ada sikap "berserah sahaja" dan tiada usaha ikhtiar yang dilakukan untuk mencegah. Dan apabila sesuatu tragedi berlaku, kita ada budaya "menuding jari" (blaming culture)
Sudah tiba masanya, DBKL, JKKP, JAS, BOMBA dll yang berkenaan perlu duduk bersama dan memikirkan cara-cara proaktif seperti mengadakan "fire-drill", pemeriksaan berkala dan penilaian risiko bukan sahaja ke atas premis seperti ini tetapi ke atas semua premis. Ini kerana saya lihat, banyak tangga kecemasan (fire escape) di belakang bangunan telah dirobohkan, "fire door" yang tidak berfungsi, tangga kecemasan dalaman dijadikan stor barangan, penggunaan dapor gas dengan cara yang tidak selamat, tiadanya alat pemadam kebakaran (atau bertarikh luput atau ada tetapi tidak tahu digunakan), kesukaran akses kepada pihak BOMBA untuk memadamkan kebakaran, kesukaran akses untuk mangsa keluar, tiadanya penggera keselamatan, tiadanya pelan lantai, tiadanya "emergency escape route" dll.
Yang paling penting bila bercakap mengenai "preventive action" atau "risk management" ialah LATIHAN, BENGKEL, INDUKSI yang secukupnya perlu diberikan kepada semua pengusaha-pengusaha mengenai pentingnya aspek keselamatan dan kesihatan pekerjaan (dan alam sekitar) (SHE) terjaga.
Aspek SHE bukan sahaja perlu dijaga semasa premis dibina, ianya perlu dirancang semasa fasa rekabentuk, fasa tender, fasa pembinaan, fasa pasca-pembinaan, fasa penyerahan kembali tapak - MALAH perlunya susulan semasa ianya beroperasi.

PIAWAIAN SUMBER TENAGA DAN KAWALAN EMISI KARBON

Oleh Nik Zafri Abdul Majid - Januari, 2010

Seluruh dunia kini sedang memberikan perhatian yang serius kepada isu emisi karbon. Secara rambang hampir seluruh premis di dunia menyumbang kepada 50% penggunaan tenaga - ini termasuklah Malaysia. Isu emisi karbon dijangka akan mencetuskan pula fokus kepada kod dan piawaian tenaga - ini bermakna jika kita tidak mempunyai kod/piawaian atau ada kod piawaian tetapi tidak mencukupi, maka usaha untuk menaikkan taraf kod/piawaian yang sedia ada atau mewujudkan kod/piawaian yang lebih komprehensif perlu diadakan.

Mewujudkan atau menaiktaraf kod/piawaian adalah selaras dengan cadangan YB Dato' Seri Ong Ka Ting, Menteri Sumber Asli dan Alam Sekitar dalam Mesyuarat ke 3, Penggal 2, Parlimen 12 yang meminta satu pelan induk perlu digariskan oleh Kerajaan Malaysia untuk memastikan paras pengeluaran karbon di Malaysia benar-benar tidak menaik dan dapat dikawal sehingga ianya tidak lebih daripada paras tahun 2005 menjelang satu tempoh masa daripada sekarang.

Setakat artikel ini ditulis, saya mendapati satu standard (pada asalnya diterbitkan pada tahun 2004) dikenali sebagai 90.1 iaitu piawaian ASHRAE memberikan satu panduan untuk mencapai 30% penjimatan tenaga (draf standard ini dijangka terbit pada bila-bila masa dalam tahun 2010. Selain itu, standard seperti LEEDS (Green Building) and EMS ISO 14000 juga boleh dijadikan panduan kepada kawalan emisi karbon menerusi penjimatan tenaga.

Standard ini begitu penting pada Malaysia sebagai langkah awal mengawal pembaziran tenaga di samping emisi karbon. Jabatan Alam Sekitar, Jabatan Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan, Suruhanjaya Tenaga dsb. juga boleh bekerjasama dalam mewujudkan standard yang dimaksudkan.

Antara perkara-perkara yang boleh diambilkira ialah :

a) Keperluan penggunaan peralatan penyejuk (cooling/refrigeration) dan pemanas (heater/heating equipments) dalam semua jenis industri termasuk rumah kediaman yang mungkin berbeza mengikut cuaca/iklim negara berkenaan. Justifikasi cadangan saya ini ialah menghala kepada kesan ekonomi penggunaan peralatan berkenaan serta cara-cara penjimatan boleh dilakukan ke atas peralatan contohnya mengadakan alat penjimat tenaga secara 'built-in' kepada peralatan yang dimaksudkan.

b) Perkara-perkara yang kompleks seperti syarat-syarat untuk mendapat Sijil Layak Menduduki sesebuah bangunan juga perlu diambilkira - contohnya memberikan kelulusan kepada mereka yang mengutamakan penjimatan tenaga dan penjagaan alam sekitar atau konsep 'bangunan hijau' mengikut standard yang berkaitan.

c) Latihan, siri-siri ceramah dsb. bagi memastikan kefahaman atau mencetuskan kesedaran masyarakat atau kakitangan betapa pentingnya tahap emisi karbon dan penjimatan tenaga kepada mereka dalam bentuk wang ringgit.

Saya berharap agar standard/piawaian tenaga yang bakal dikeluarkan akan mengketengahkan syarat-syarat yang agak ketat supaya ianya dipatuhi demi trend semasa pasaran global dan suasana ekonomi yang sedang mengalami perubahan dalam konteks pembekalan tenaga.


Carbon Emission/Standards
Malaysia need to come out with Master Plan and Codes of Practice on Carbon Emission/Energy Savings
Agree but all parties must cooperate with the Government
Disagree - our country is not at the critical level yet
