MANAGING FOOD WASTE - SOUNDS SIMPLE BUT NOT THAT SIMPLE - Nik Zafri

APAKAH PENGAJARAN DI SEBALIK KEJADIAN TRAGEDI KEBAKARAN TAHFIZ (pandangan bebas) - Nik Zafri
Mufti Negeri Sembilan, Datuk Mohd. Yusof Ahmad berkata, kesedaran dalam kalangan orang ramai yang mahu mendirikan pusat pengajian seperti itu harus dipuji tetapi ia belum mencukupi sebelum beberapa faktor tertentu diambil kira berkaitan cara ia beroperasi.
Justeru itu katanya, sikap ‘bina dulu dan mohon kebenaran kemudian’ patut dielakkan oleh mereka yang berhasrat menubuhkan pusat pendidikan persendirian.
"Seperti yang kita tahu, pusat pendidikan agama seperti tahfiz tumbuh macam cendawan sama ada oleh secara berkumpulan atau secara individu. Kadang-kadang kurang daripada 10 pelajar pun sudah mahu tubuh pusat tahfiz.
"Kesedaran ini kita puji tetapi pengendali masih perlu patuh kepada syarat-syarat pihak berkuasa terutamanya berkaitan keselamatan pelajar dan kita tidak boleh hanya berharap semua itu akan dapat diatasi selepas kita tubuhkan dulu sekolah ini," katanya dalam sidang akhbar selepas Majlis Konvokesyen Tahfiz Darul Ulum, Negeri Sembilan yang dirasmikan Undang Luak Johol, Datuk Muhammed Abdullah hari ini.
Yang turut hadir Setiausaha Majlis Agama Islam Negeri Sembilan, Kamal Amran Kamaruddin; Pengarah Jabatan Hal Ehwal Agama Islam Negeri Sembilan, Datuk Selamat Paigo dan Pengerusi Akademi Darul Ulum, Mustaffa Daharun.
Semalam, seramai 21 pelajar dan dua orang warden Pusat Tahfiz Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah di Jalan Keramat Hujung, Datuk Keramat di ibu negara, maut selepas terperangkap dalam tragedi kebakaran asrama.
Dalam pada itu Mufti Selangor, Datuk Mohd. Tamyes Abd. Wahid mengingatkan ibu bapa supaya emilih pusat tahfiz yang menawarkan kemudahan pembelajaran yang selamat untuk anak-anak dalam mempelajari ilmu akhirat kerana menjaga keselamatan diri itu juga dituntut dalam Islam.
Menurutnya, dalam menuntut ilmu, prasarana dan keselamatan anak-anak di tempat belajar perlu diambil kira.
Malah katanya, ibu bapa juga diingatkan supaya tidak hanya memikirkan syafaat menghantar anak mempelajari ilmu al-Quran semata-mata, sebaliknya banyak perkara lain yang dituntut dalam Islam termasuk aspek keselamatan.
"Suka diingatkan apabila memilih anak-anak belajar di pusat tahfiz dengan tujuan mendapat ilmu, perkara utama yang perlu difikirkan adalah kemudahan-kemudahan yang disediakan.
"Pilihlah tempat yang lebih efisien serta menjamin ketenteraman (keselamatan) anak-anak untuk mengejar ilmu akhirat," katanya kepada Mingguan Malaysia ketika dihubungi hari ini.
Sementara itu, Mufti Kelantan, Datuk Mohamad Shukri Mohamad berkata, pusat-pusat tahfiz di negara ini perlu memperbaiki kemudahan yang ditawarkan serta mematuhi peraturan yang ditetapkan oleh pihak berkuasa tempatan serta Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat.
Katanya, perkara tersebut yang juga meliputi aspek keselamatan adalah dituntut dalam Islam.

RISK-BASED THINKING - ISO 9001:2015 - NIK ZAFRI
The reason why "Risk Based Thinking" is introduced into ISO 9001:2015 is because to reduce non-conformance and customer complaints, to justify clearly (substantiated with evidence) the Department/Unit Objectives, KPI/KRA, Balance Scorecard etc. (not simply pick up a figure from 'the sky')

SOAL JAWAB - KESELAMATAN, KESIHATAN PEKERJAAN, ALAM SEKITAR - Nik Zafri
Jawapan : Pentingnya sistem ialah untuk memastikan dan meningkatkan lagi tahap keselamatan, kesihatan, persekitaran dan kebajikan pekerja terjaga.
SOALAN 2. Adakah dokumentasi itu penting?
Jawapan :
Jika ianya dapat menyelamatkan nyawa, maka dokumentasi itu penting, tetapi ianya mesti disusuli dengan pelaksanaan. Maka saya berpendapat, dokumentasi dan pelaksanaan adalah sama pentingnya.
Jika kita masih beranggapan bahawa dokumentasi itu terlalu membebankan, maka matlamat untuk mencapai satu sistem yang bertulis sebagai bukti pelaksanaan tidak akan tercapai.
SOALAN 3. Bagaimana nak memastikan semua orang faham mengenai pentingnya menjaga keselamatan, kesihatan dan penjagaan alam sekitar?
Jawapan :
- Komitmen ikhlas dan sepenuh-hati dari pihak pengurusan tertinggi.
- Delegasi tugas yang betul kepada orang yang betul.
- Komunikasi perlu berkesan dan mesej "suci" ini sampai sehingga kepada peringkat kakitangan sokongan mahupun buruh/pekerja.
- Latihan dan pembangunan secara berterusan.
SOALAN 4. Kenapa keselamatan, kesihatan dan pengurusan alam sekitar terabai?
Jawapan : Mengikut pengalaman saya - ada 3 unsur sahaja, pertama - sistem, kedua - pelaksanaan, ketiga - sikap :
- sifat menghafal dan bukannya memahami. Jika tidak faham,bagaimana nak menghayati serta jadikannya sebagai budaya syarikat?
- Sifat suka menuding jari apabila berlaku insiden dan kemalangan. (Tiada akauntabiliti – rasa dipertanggungjawabkan). Walhal jika mengikut prosedur yang betul (jika ada prosedur), perkara ini boleh diselesaikan mengikut lunas undang-undang. Tidak ada satu pun tempat kerja yang 100% selamat.
- Melakukan kerana terpaksa dan dipaksa. Melaksanakan sistem pengurusan keselamatan, kesihatan pekerjaan dan alam sekitar tidak boleh dilakukan kerana terpaksa, ianya akan menimbulkan lebih banyak masalah lagi.
- 'attitude' perlu betul dalam kita hendak melaksanakan sistem ini. (adopting the right attitude)
Jika awal-awal lagi, kita sudah tanamkan pemikiran negatif umpamanya "sistem ini menyusahkan" dan seumpamanya, maka kita perlukan bantuan professional.
- Mengukur keselamatan, kesihatan dan pengurusan alam sekitar menerusi satu perspektif yang sempit – contohnya dengan hanya adanya peralatan perlindungan diri (PPE), maka keselamatan dan kesihatan pekerjaan serta alam sekitar telah pun terjaga.
Malah persepsi pemakaian PPE juga perlu difahami dalam 2 kategori:
a) adanya topi keselamatan dipakai untuk mengelak dari objek yang jatuh dari atas.
b) adanya topi keselamatan juga dapat menyelamatkan nyawa
Faktor-faktor lain ialah :
- Takut untuk berbelanja lebih bagi meningkatkan tahap keselamatan kerja.
- Tindakan menangani insiden dan kemalangan tidak bertepatan dengan undang-undang. Ini termasuklah "cuba menutup" kes-kes kematian, kecederaan parah dari pihak berkuasa dsb.
- Meletakkan kesalahan hanya kepada Pegawai Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan
SOALAN 5 : Kenapa perlunya Jawatankuasa Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan?
Jawapan :
Keselamatan, Kesihatan Pekerjaan dan Pengurusan Alam Sekitar bukan kerja perseorangan tetapi ianya adalah kerjasama dalam satu pasukan.
Perlu ada sesi bertukar-tukar pendapat, mengikut kepakaran dan pengalaman dalam bidang/jabatan masing-masing demi keselamatan, kesihatan dan pengurusan alam sekitar sesebuah organisasi.
Jangan hanya serahkan semua tanggungjawab kepada Pegawai atau Pengurus HSE sahaja. Inipun salah juga...
SOALAN 6. Adakah Penilaian Suasana Berbahaya, Impak/Aspek dan Risiko itu perlu?
Jawapan :
Penilaian ini perlu dimulakan daripada peringkat perancangan pra-operasi lagi. Sebarang suasana berbahaya, impak/aspek dan risiko perlu dikenalpasti secara proaktif berdasarkan pengalaman terdahulu. Kemudian ianya perlu dikawal semasa penilaian berlaku dan disemak kembali akan keberkesanannya.
Penilaian Risiko tidak sama dengan Pemeriksaan (Inspection) dan Audit.
Pemeriksaan adalah sesuatu yang biasa dilakukan (rutin), audit dan penilaian risiko adalah secara berkala dan berjadual.
Bezanya, penilaian risiko tidak diberikan laporan ketidakpatuhan (NCR) seperti audit dan pemeriksaan.
Penilaian risiko akan mengenengahkan masalah kecil yang berpotensi membawa kepada masalah yang besar jika tidak ditangani secara proaktif. Jika ada masalah besar, maka itu menunjukkan terdapat risiko yang tinggi dalam sesuatu operasi
Setiap masalah diberikan pemarkahannya yang tersendiri. Kesilapan penilai risiko ialah mengeluarkan laporan ketidakpatuhan. Ini boleh menimbulkan kekeliruan.
Tujuan utama Penilaian Risiko ialah untuk menjadi pemangkin dengan mengurangkan trend ketidakpatuhan dalam pemeriksaan dan audit.
Maka jika didapati jumlah NCR masih tinggi (makin bertambah) dalam pemeriksaan dan audit, maka kemungkinan besar pengenalpastian risiko secara proaktif adalah TIDAK TEPAT. Segera lakukan penyemakan kembali.
