- Friday, December 23, 2022
40th MSOSH Awards Ceremony 2022
held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on December 21.YTY was awarded four Gold Class 1 awards, with every operating site having earned this distinction. The period under review was for full year 2021, and the audits were conducted between June and July 2022. A broad cross section of occupational health and safety experts were involved in the audit review, including members from agencies such as MSOSH, Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Standards and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia (SIRIM), Pertubuhan Keselamatan Sosial (PERKESO), and the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM).
The MSOSH awards are held annually, and are intended to recognize those companies that have achieved commendable health and safety records, and demonstrated best in class occupational processes supported by sound health and safety management systems.
Ahsokomar Ramasamy, Head of Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) at YTY Group, notes “Our performance this year at MSOSH is reflective of a deeper commitment by our leadership and operational teams to health and safety excellence. As an example, for the same period of review, our total case incident review (TCIR), a globally recognized metric of occupational health and safety, was 0.43 incidents per million hours worked. This compares to a global OHSA target of 3.0 incidents per million hours, and a peer average of 3.24 incidents per million hours, representing outperformance by YTY of 86% and 87%, respectively.”
Ahsokomar goes on to note “In respect of loss time injury frequency rate (LTIFR), another critically tracked industry safety metric, we performed at 0.29 incidents per million hours worked, relative to a global OHSA target for the manufacturing sector of 0.5 incidents per million hours, and a peer average of 0.92 incidents per million hours. Once again, this demonstrates outperformance by YTY of 42% and 68%, respectively. It should be noted that both of these results were achieved during a period of heavy manufacturing activity, and active greenfield expansion and build-out.”
