“…We need to break down the silos internally within the shire’. Emergency management practitioners would also benefit from acknowledging the value of including the community's voice in the EM processes so as to provide a service tailored to each community as opposed to a one‐size‐fits‐all model (Cho and Poister ; Ramli, Mokhtar and Aziz ). The comments shared by EM and HRM participants is that local communities are not taking the emergency system seriously, and that it is not an important priority.…”

“…Stakeholders may take the view that emergency preparedness is not justified, given its high cost, and perceive that disasters are unexpected and are not likely to occur (Young and Jones ). Moreover, there is a lack of interorganisational co‐ordination especially during the response phase of EM; ambiguous lines of authority; inconsistent and inefficient communication within and between stakeholders; and disorganised communities (Cho and Poister ; Martin, Nolte and Vitolo ; Ramli, Mokhtar and Aziz ). What emerges from these obstacles is that EM is often reactionary in response to disaster events, and that there is significant scope for HRM interventions to enhance the capacity of EM (Young and Jones ).…”

This study examines the relationship between human resource management (HRM) and emergency management (EM) within two local governments. We examine the processes and associated challenges of HRM supporting EM practitioners to develop the skills to engage with the local community. Social exchange theory provides the theoretical foundation to explore and report the qualitative data. Research findings indicate that the relationship between HRM and EM is fragmented, and there is no comprehensive understanding among HRM and EM practitioners of the entire EM process. We suggest that enhancing collaboration between HRM and EM professionals within local governments may be achieved through greater formal and informal network management. HRM professionals must invest in developing managerial practices that engage key EM stakeholders, and mobilise their knowledge and resources to frame and co‐create solutions for EM challenges.

“…However, disaster management in industrial cities should focus not only on the facility-based process and material characteristics, shutdown, and evacuation but it should also focus on the industrial city based routing of evacuation, sheltering the evacuated people for a short-term, protecting the facility and its neighborhood to avoid the resulting disaster. Ramli, Mokhtar and Aziz (2014) also emphasize the importance of multi-facility safety or cluster-based safety. The combination of various facility-based and city-based factors for an integrated disaster management is not found in the literature.…”

Purpose: In most countries, development, growth, and sustenance of industrial facilities are given utmost importance due to the influence in the socio-economic development of the country. Therefore, special economic zones, or industrial areas or industrial cities are developed in order to provide the required services for the sustained operation of such facilities. Such facilities not only provide prolonged economic support to the country but it also helps in the societal aspects as well by providing livelihood to thousands of people. Therefore, any disaster in any of the facilities in the industrial area will have a significant impact on the population, facilities, the economy, and threatens the sustainability of the operations. This paper provides review of such literature that focus on theory and practice of disaster management in industrial cities.Design/methodology/approach: In the paper, content analysis method in order to elicit the insights of the literature available.Findings: It is found that the research is done in all phases of disaster management, namely, preventive phase, reactive phase and corrective phase. The research in each of these areas are focused on four main aspects, which are facilities, resources, support systems and modeling. Nevertheless, the research in the industrial cities is insignificant. Moreover, the modeling part does not explicitly consider the nature of industrial cities, where many of the chemical and chemical processing can be highly flammable thus creating a very large disaster impact. Some research is focused at an individual plant and scaled up to the industrial cities. The modeling part is weak in terms of comprehensively analyzing and assisting disaster management in the industrial cities.Originality/value: The comprehensive review using content analysis on disaster management is presented here. The review helps the researchers to understand the gap in the literature in order to extend further research for disaster management in large scale industrial cities.

“…Human errors that could potentially cause an accident are called unsafe acts may be defined to be a human action that departs from hazard control or job procedures to which the person has been trained or otherwise informed, which causes unnecessary exposure of a person to hazards [5][8] [9].…”

High occupational accident in Malaysia as reported by Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) Malaysia shows the urgently applied a occupational safety and health (OSH) practices in workplaces. This study purposed to review the OSH practices in Malaysia and its influence factor. The factor of that influence to accident cases, good OSH practice and OSH system and framework as well as agencies that has authority with OSH was briefly explained. Factor that influence the accident was consists of stress and fatigue, unsafe act, machinery/tools, design of workplace and training procedure, factor that influenced to achieve good OSH practices was consists of training, safe work procedure, consultation, reporting safety, management commitment and injury management, several OSH agencies that has been developed in Malaysia such as NIOS, NCOSH, DOSH and SOCSO as program in the institution. Institution contribute an important factor due to in institution teach a fundamental of OSH that may applied in the workplaces.
