b) Theory
In this case it the theory can be relates are Domino Theory because of some
axioms that can be point in this case: An accident can occur only as the result of unsafe mechanical hazard itself which
Then, Management failure theory also can be related with this case because of:
The failure of management of the academy to do its part to ensure a safe and
healthy work environment to their workers also to their trainer. The
management should not allow Fatin to doing her practical individually without
Loss image and name of the academy because of the accident happen because
people would say
that
their
management poor.
Give
compensation
in
medical benefit to
victim to recover
from the accident.
b) Society
Lack
of
trust
toward academy because this accident happen when training which shown that
the trainee is not supervise well. Give or spread bad information to other
people about this accident which leads to loss image to the academy.
3. Recommendation to prevent accident as Osh officer: All employee or supervisor should be provided personal training before train their
trainee. The trainee also need a special training in a long time range to gain
knowledge and skill about how to handle a helicopter whether solo or partner.
Establish new policy that contains specific and progressive disciplinary measures
for failure to comply the safety of tools and the machine itself.
Make sure to rechecking all the condition of helicopter monthly before use. If
there is some problem they should report to the management to repair or to buy
the new one if it beyond repair.

(UMMC). The condition of Ruzairi is the most critical with 90% burn on his body
and been treat at resuscitation ward in the hospitals accident and emergency unit,
while the other two 80% burn and both was transfer to Prince Court Medical
Centre for further treatment.
Cause of accident:
The flashovers happen when the room catches fire and the fire plum cannot escape.
The hot gas produces by the fire increase the temperature and increase the pressure
in upper portion in the room which lead to explode due to much pressure from
accumulated gas.
b) Theory:
As we learned, this case can be related to the Domino theory because of some
axioms that can be point in this case: In this case it has some hazard occur which is mechanical hazards and
pressure hazards. In mechanical hazards, all victims associated with power
driven machines, that automated or manually operated in the substation that
control the electricity in the area. In pressure hazards was caused by a
dangerous condition which involved high pressure.
Other than that, this case refers to Human factor theory which is:
All victim was overload which means the amount of a person capacity at
any given time and load of task given. In this case the victim working hour
is different from other ordinary people working hours. Their body can be
skill they have, while the working environment was hazards, they still have
to do their job requirement which is give customer satisfaction.
System theory is another theory that can be relates with this case: A situation which an accident can occur if one of the systems comprised of
person or host, machine and environment component fails. In this case it
can be state that the malfunctions of the machine occur that make the
-substation caught on fire before explode.
Management failure theory also can be related with this case because of:
The management fail to detect the malfunction of the machine earlier before
the accident happen. It also can be the substation was old and there is no
service or the supervisor not monitoring the reading on the machine.
b) Society
Now all people know that the substation belong to TNB is not a place to play,
because some unmoral people have try to steal the wire in the substation
while not knowing the consequences will happen.
3. Recommendation to prevent accident as Osh officer: Keeping up-to-date safety of work environment before starting operation.
Make new law with a government authority about the stealing electrical wire ring.
Monitoring employee performance and enforcing safety rules and regulation
Assisting safety and health professionals in conducting accident investigation to
check the place before operation.
