Date of Review:
INTRODUCTION
The inspection activity has been carried out in a Lubricants &

Greases Company, located in Sharjah, UAE which is mainly involved in the
manufacturing of oil and greases and complying with occupational health
and safety regulations. The activities being carried out in day to day
operations include material handling, packing , blending oil, loading
cartoons.
The scope of inspection was to identify any potential hazards, to

check the effectiveness of existing control measures and recommend any
further control measure to ensure that residual risk are as low as possible
and harmless. All the findings which I recorded are attached to the
observation sheets.
Executive Summary
The management of company is highly committed to safeguard its

employees, visitors, contractor and all stakeholders from the hazards
arising out of its daily operations. This responsibility is clearly dedicated to
competent personnel. Risk assessment of all the activities has been done
and is reviewed periodically. Resources have been allocated for mitigation
of significant hazards through effective controls. PPE programs is in place
and requirements are communicated to workforce through trainings,
posters and signs. Overall compliance with health and safety management
system is observed satisfactory.
13


There are some potential hazards and conditions are evaluated at this
facility completion of the following items will help lower both the frequency
and severity of losses in terms of personnel injury, illness, asset damage and
business reputation.
1. Personal Protective Equipment
2. Electrical Safety
3. Ergonomics
14


Main findings of the Inspection & Recommendation
Observation # 1 (Refer Observation no, 8)
Personnel protective equipment # 8, 16 few workers in blending activity of

oil are observed to be working without wearing respiratory mask, one of the
workers in production area is observed to be handling the Capping Machine
without wearing ear muff. Although the program for PPE is in place and
PPEs are available however implementation is partial to some extent due to
lack of supervision.
Recommendation:
All the workers who have to follow the PPEs protocols must be trained on
the hazards associated. With their assigned jobs, why the PPE
recommendation and how they will prevent them from hazards. After their
induction disciplinary action should be taken against the worker who
violates the PPEs protocols.
Approximate Cost: None
Breaches of Law: UAE law of Health & Safety

15


Observation # 2 (Refer Observation No, 11, 21, )
Trailing cables due to insufficient power outlets, combustible materials

storied the waste storage area due to lack of inadequate supervision.
Recommendations
Power outlets/sockets and industrials plugs to be procured as per

requirements and fitted where required. Competent supervision must be
ensured to arrange frequent inspections.
Approximates Costs: AED 1000/
Legislation: UAE electricity rules, failure to comply with these regulations,

or any part thereof, shall be deemed as contrary to the Law. Such failures
will be addressed in accordance with the Law under Article 65(5) (notices
served by the Bureau), Article 66 (failure to comply) and Article 135
(offences and fines).
Observation # 3 (Refer observation # (9, 10, 13 )
Few of the loaders are observed to be lifting the raw materials cartons in
unsafe manners and few of the data entry operators complained about the
backache and insufficient lighting the shows inadequate controls to reduce
the WRULD dieases.
Recommendation:
16


A survey to be conducted to address the WRULD in terms workstation

designs, material handling practices, product flow and handling. Refresher
trainings should be arranged for all the personnel involved in material
handling and working on monitoring devices handling computer and
laptops.
Approximates Cost: AED 4500/
Legislation: ILO C155 EHS OP-026 procedure for ergonomics
CONCLUSION
All the significant hazards are identified plus control measures in

a time frame scale. The management, if willing to take action will benefit to
health and safety. As it will increase level of compliance of workers to health
and safety rules and reduce result of injury and accident. It will also bring
more commitment of organization which result a positive safety culture and
reduce legal action by enforcing authorities and reduce compensation
claims and can provide more safe production of the organization in addition
the business reputation will be on the top and it is one of the factor to
consider granting more projects to company in the business today. As more
projects will come the more business will grow and when it grows the
company will become more famous in market
There are certain areas where inadequate supervision is observed that is

alarming for the health & safety culture of the organization. Competence
17


levels of the supervisory staff needs to be improved through internal as well

as external trainings so that they might be able to identify each potential
hazards assesses the associated risk. Although induction for new joiners is
in place but even then it is not covering the technical aspects of their job.
Hazards related to their assigned tasks, hierarchy followed to take the
control measure and use of any PPE ( if applicable) must be the part of their
induction.
Finally management must establish the SMART objectives for the

measurement of performance and review them time to time this all
initiatives will help to mature the safety culture with in the organization and
will enhance the business reputation.
