“The seven million hours without lost time injury in the case of Senari Synergy subsidiary IOT Management Sdn Bhd (IOTM), speak volume of this effort. Indeed only a few companies in Malaysia have been able to achieve this,” he said.
He stressed that health and safety is important for every industrial sector, but particularly so for the related oil and gas industry where the potential for a major accident is ever present.
“As a result, effective and persistently focused management of process safety is a basic and core value for the industry,” he remarked.

“Employees are the most valuable asset any organisation has – there is no question of that. Staff members make the products, represent the brand, offer the services and fuel success. If those employees do not operate in a safe environment, financial effects could become apparent,” said Dr Rundi.
