SIBU: The State Department of Safety and Health (DOSH) says that the high number of fatalities in the nation's shipbuilding industry needs to be looked into.
DOSH Sarawak vice-director for Occupational Health, Saiful Azhar Mohd Said, said that the nine deaths reported nationwide so far this year were a cause for concern and that concrete action needed to be taken now to prevent more fatal accidents.“Three of the four died in a confined space and the other fell from height," he said.“The four were all foreigners,” Saiful Azhar said after launching a seminar on shipbuilding compliance on Wednesday .
“The findings in the booklet will be shared with shipbuilders throughout the country so that they will be more aware of the general hazards in the industry, and take steps to reduce them in the workplace,” said Saiful Azhar. The country shipbuilding industry generates an estimated RM6.4bil in revenue annually and provides employment to 35,000 people.
