Second Day

17^th April 2012

I woke up as early as 6.00 am today. That’s because I can’t stay asleep anymore since I slept on about 8.30/9.00 pm last night. Well, in an air-conditioned room, who would not fall asleep fast right?..ahaa..

So today there are quite many tasks I’ve done. Somehow, it’s not that hard or heavy task at all, yet not that much. I’ve been helping buying some foods and goods with the Boss, Mr. Francis and David using the company car; CYGNUS..hahaha..kebaruan naik Cygnus…

At Papar, the boss invited us to go to eat breakfast at a chinese restaurant. There I ordered a meehun sup mixed pork meat while my boss ordered dim sum (a lot of dim sum), such a huge breakfast. I got so full that I almost threw up LOL. Then we go buy things lah..

I was taken to go inside the site by David, although I haven’t been to safety induction, so I just stay calm, meaning tapuk2 lahh..haha..But we passed the gate. Rules on site are;

1.       Wear overhead protection (safety helmet).

2.       Safety Glasses.

3.       Long-sleeve shirt or coverall.

4.       Dust protection mask.

5.       Must be safety briefed (safety induction).

6.       Must be a sub-con/main-con personnel (contractor).

7.       Vehicle speed limits 20 km/h.

8.       Stop at the gate for security inspection (in or out).

9.       In and out card scan for supervisor and general worker.

10.   Always think safety.

While I was there, there are not much task I can do since I haven’t introduced about what to do (yet). I helped David to prepare the ‘In and out’ tag for workers or personnel in HSAP for headcount purpose. AND THAT IS THE FIRST TIME I USED THE LAMINATING MACHINE…..which is, COOL MAN!!!..I mean, the device is producing heat to laminate the paper (we bought a special laminating plastic lah for this,,) inside the laminating card, and it’s so new for me..ahaa..well, the device is worth RM3xx.00..it can fit A3 laminating.

At three, I have Safety Interview at the Site Main Office by John See, Health, Safety & Environment Manager (HSE Manager) –While waiting for him, SHO Vincent make a joke about the Korean name “OH, In Tae” the Safety Deputy. Then at the interview I was asked about my experience, if I got the Yellowbook and then he explained that my experience is not enough so he put me into ‘Safety Promoter’ which I do not know what is it about. Perhaps, the one that Go to site to site to tell about safety..it’s a little bit like SHO but without the report to make. This position kinda’ funny to me. But it’s okay it’s alright.

See, the world we live is not that easy as we think. To start another level “We must begin again from zero in that level” – Sidney Mohede. As for me, to be Site Safety Supervisor in Oil & Gas Business, I need at least 5 years experiences as SSS. To be a SHO, need another 5, in total 10 years (at least). To put it easily, let me make a timeline for being Oil & Gas SHO.

1.       Safety Promoter. 1-3 years.

2.       Site Safety Supervisor Assistant. 4 - 5

3.       Site Safety Supervisor. 5 - 10

4.       Safety Officer Assistant.* 10 - 15

5.       Safety Officer.* 15 - 20

6.       Safety & Health Officer Assistant. 20 - 22  

7.       Safety & Health Officer. 22 - 25

8.       Health, Safety & Environment Officer Assistant. 25 - 26

9.       Health, Safety & Environment Officer. 26 - 27

10.   Health, Safety & Environment Manager Assistant. 27 - 28

11.   Health, Safety & Environment Deputy. 28 - 30

12.   Health, Safety & Environment Manager. 30

** Just anggaran..hahaha..but it’s true that to get the SHO title is not easy as what they said in the safety class. 

I think that’s my advice for today. Bye.. =)

1st Day on HSAP

Today is 16^th April 2012. This day is my first time working at a bigger company; Oil & Gas based company, HSAP.

When I first arrived here at their yard to report in – I arrived at 11 am – my will-be mentor ‘David’ or real name Mojimis Gontirik told me to wait. At about 11.50 am, Mr. Jalil (or ‘second boss’) arrived and invited me inside the yard hostel. He talked about why they put me in Admin/Document Control position for three months’ probation. For the time being I will be with David to learn about DC works because David is leaving the company at the end of this month or 30^th April 2012.

Mr. Jalil also explained to me that I am not necessarily in the Admin only as I applied for SSS (Site Safety Supervisor) position; hence I will be also learning the Safety & Health works through time to time.

My first task today are following David to buy stationeries and evening rest food for the workers at the site and who works at the yard. Then at the yard I prepared their orange drink. After evening rest (3.45 pm) they all continue their work and I left in the hostel alone. I started to tidy up the place and sweep the floor (well, sound like ‘amah’ right?) as that is what I do in admin in general.

About the salary, I asked about RM1800 for basic and Mr. Jalil said; “The amount you stated is the amount we will pay you.” So I am relieved but of course they have the right to decrease or kick me out from the company if they’re not impressed with me or in the other words, I am poor in my job performance.

I have about 15 days to learn EVERYTHING that David knows. Which mean, if I failed in any task, I am in great danger, so do David’s company testimony. This could also mean, David will have hard time to pursue his dream in Business field.

So far in my 7 hours new job, I am doing light work. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow but I’m sure that GOD will always arrange a good thing for me. I’ll do my best. Thank You Lord Jesus for everything and God Bless to anyone reading this. Have A Nice Day =)

New Adventure Level FOR ME

Wow, I never expected that I will like the challenges I've faced in OBS (Outward Bound Sabah).

Alright, what is OBS exactly?
OBS is a synonym to Outward Bound School.
