“…Therefore, academic programs need to address the fact that human lives are being lost, people are being injured, and property is being damaged from events that are otherwise preventable. Roughton and Mercurio have indicated that the most effective way to control hazards is through engineering control or eliminating hazards by design [14]. This study deals with the education of future engineering technologists to ensure they possess a good understanding of hazard identification and control in machine operation as accomplished through the virtual laboratory environment.…”

Safety and health issues are important components for any industry that involves machinery operations. To control various hazards leading to occupational injuries and illnesses, one common method is safety training and education. In this study, we developed a 3D virtual reality game to enhance safety training and education. Based on the recommendations from industrial partners, a pedestal grinder and its operation were selected for this study. The pedestal grinder and the mechanical laboratory were converted to three dimensional shapes using 3D modeling software. The completed 3D models were brought into the game engine to replicate actual laboratory environment. This allows students to interact within the virtual environment and be able to operate the virtual pedestal grinder safely. The interactivity between a user and the equipment within 3D virtual environment was implemented using visual programming tool inside the game engine. A pilot study was conducted to assess the students' learning with regard to the pedestal grinder safety using three groups: lecture only, lecture with physical laboratory, and lecture with the developed 3D virtual environment. The results indicated the benefits of 3D virtual reality game over "lecture only" delivery method in enhancing students' learning. Furthermore, virtual reality game allows students to retain information as good as the "lecture with physical laboratory" delivery method.

“…Leadership is recognized as the single greatest enabler of HSE culture. 1,[7][8]10,[21][22][23] The first step in capturing the discretionary effort of the entire workforce (employees, contractors, and service providers) is alignment. For leaders to maximize discretionary or "want to" effort from the workforce, the workforce must be intrinsically motivated and believe that their well-being is a prime consideration.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Quantitative relationships have been established between HSE culture and HSE performance based on workforce cultural surveys [10][11][12] as given in Table 1. In this example, high favorability based on a workforce survey is indicative of a mature HSE culture, which has a statistically significant relationship with lower incident rates.…”

Texas 75083-3836 U.S.A., fax +1-972-952-9435. AbstractDemands on the petroleum industry are driving continual improvement of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) performance. It has become widely recognized that the deliberate and structured creation of HSE culture directly affects HSE performance. Developing HSE culture is a complex recipe that combines values, leadership, management systems and processes, behavioral and cognitive psychology, technology, equipment, and HSE expertise. This combination creates a culture or "way of working in the organization."There are many theoretical and practical papers on the creation and assessment of HSE culture. For a leader in Exploration and Production (E&P) operations, the distillation of this large body of knowledge into an appropriate course of action can be a daunting task. A generic HSE cultural maturity model is provided in this work. HSE culture is further defined in terms of cultural dimensions. To improve HSE performance, development of culture cannot be confined within an E&P operator's organization. Contractors, partners, service providers, and suppliers must also be included in the development of HSE culture. Guidance is provided to help the E&P practitioner work collaboratively with contractors to develop, sustain, and improve HSE culture and performance. Pragmatic examples are provided for diagnosing HSE culture.

Safety and health at workplace is an emergent concern in almost all parts of the world including developing countries such as Malaysia. Construction industry is one of the most hazardous industries with regard to work-related injury and fatality rates. Impact on the company would include loss working hours of injured employee, cost of repair and replacement of property and damages as well as increment in insurance premium. The purpose of the study is intended to examine the relationship between factors with safety performance at construction sites. This study investigates whether factors such as working environment, education & training, PPE and weather have any influence on safety performance. The study was conducted among construction workers at Sesco Sub-Station, Balingian, and Sarawak. A set of validated questionnaires were distributed to 100 construction workers. Data were examined based on 95 returned questionnaires (respond rate 95%). Data were analyzed with SPSS version 22 using descriptive and inferential statistics. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to measure the strength of relationship between independent and dependent variables. It was concluded that the most important factor affecting safety performance of the construction workers at SESCO Sub-Station, Balingian, and Sarawak is PPE.
