Safety Tool Box talks by the mentioned heads with focus on topics related to the
areas the staff are working in. Examples are; statics and earthing in Productions,
forklift safety and material handling in Warehouse, management of
hazardous/flammable material in Lab, first aid and waste management in offices and
maintenance department.
Section heads of Productions, Warehouse, Labs and Offices are to ensure regular
(twice monthly is recommended) joint reading of the Nippon Paint Standard Safety
Handbook amongst its own sections.
The Nippon Paint Safety Operations Handbook need to be reviewed in its entirety
especially by relevant sections of Production, Warehouse and Labs. Key chapters in
this handbook that are closely associated to the dailiy work need to be familiarised
by staff from the above departments.
All preventive measures and permits required to carry out HIgh Risk Work (HRW)
must be communicated by Safety Manager to NMC B/E prior (at least 48hours) to
carrying out these activities.
Heads of production, warehouse and labs will carry out thorough checking of the
three critical safety areas;
(1) Static connections & moving/rotating parts,
(2) Risk of object falling from height, and
(3) Fire risk & the management of flammable/hazardous chemicals in their
respective work zones using a SOP checklist.
MEASUREMENT OF ACTIVITY
Submission of all walkabout reports into the Safety Portal are to be coordinated by the Safety
Manager.
Rectification of lapses must reach 90% before the next cycle of walkabout to be considered a
Level 3 competency.
Submission of a monthly report (with pics if possible) into the Safety Portal by the respective
heads (coordinated through the Safety Manager). Report to indicate topics that were
briefed, materials used or distributed, and names of all attending staff.
Safety Manager is tasked to ensure this activity is carried out regularly by the respective
sections by participating or observing their joint sharing/reading sessions when possible. If
unable to, he/she will then follow up with the section managers to ensure there is continual
progress in the coverage of the handbook amongst the staff. Aim is to get all staff to
understand the content of the Safety Operation Handbook by year-end of 2017. Safety
Manager will coordinate a monthly report outlining the progress of this task by all relevant
sections and upload it into the Safety portal.
[IMPORTANT NOTE] : To underscore the seriousness of this matter, NMC together with the
respective NSC Safety Manager will conduct a 30-50 questions, time-limited Safety Aptitude
Test based entirely on the Safety Operation Handbook during the year end diagnosis exercise.
A handful of staff, including senior management will be chosen randomly to take part in this
test and a passing score of 80% is needed to consider a Level 3 competency.
Submission of NPX's HRW information into the Safety portal should (minimally) comprised of;
Type HRW to be carried out, staff/contractor involved, supervising staff, preventive
measures, permits, etc.
High Risk Work are defined as :-
(1) Work requiring ignition or open flames (Hot Work).
(2) Work carried out in confined space (e.g. tanks, chambers) where presence of
flammable/toxic air and oxygen-depletion could occur.
(3) Work requiring scaffoldings or working at high elevations.
(4) Work involving excavations.
(5) Work involving hoisting, dismantling or installation of critical structure/equipment
(pipings, fixed tanks, silos, grinders, etc)
(6) Work requiring the temporary discontinuation of electricity and natural gas
(7) Any work that requires governmental or authority approval prior to carry out.
These monthly SOP Checklists by the Prod, Whse and Lab Heads are to be uploaded by the
Safety Manager into the Safety Portal.
Rectification of lapses must reach 90% before the next monthly cycle of inspection to be
considered a Level 3 competency.
