Report for Occupational Safety and Health

It's great to have changes during study life such as those involving the moving of machines and restructuring of human resource etc. Pursuing a degree in local university probably has lesser opportunity for these as most of the universities are quite established and expansions will come slower in phases. However, for Engineering Faculty in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), we get to experience the change of new laboratories between last quarter of the year (2011) to this year (2012).

Being a Bachelor of Engineering student requires a lot of exposures to the machinery. We, with conjunction to our subject, Occupational Safety and Health, were required to study on the laboratory safety analysis which involves the knowledge in HIRARC (Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control) and HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study).

When there is space constraint and forgetful/lazy students doing their laboratory works, messy scenes are well expected.

And sometimes, wastes or faulty machines will be isolated and waiting to be discarded (for a long time already still there)

We were in the process of moving the instruments to the new laboratories, therefore we can see all these equipment come handy these times

How many times in studying life that you get to compile a 100-page report excluding appendices? To me, this subject is one of the most mind-opening ones among the others that I don't know what was I studying about usually...
