Purnama Hotel takes lead in safety awareness at work

LIMBANG: Purnama Hotel here has again taken the lead in organising a safety awareness talk for 42 of its employees and representatives from the various government departments housed at Limbang Plaza.

The talk held on June 25 was followed by the launch of the hotel’s three-month long Safety Awareness Campaign.

It was organised by the hotel’s Occupational Safety & Health Committee and the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), Miri Branch.

Lawrence Lim, resident manager of Purnama Hotel and also chairman of the Safety & Health Committee, explained that since end of last year, the hotel management has invited speakers from various government agencies to give talks on safety and organised its own in-house safety training at least once a month for the hotel employees.

“We firmly believe that by providing a safe and healthy working environment, we will contribute to the well-being, morale and productivity of the employees.

“As for our hotel, it will boost the confidence of our clients on the overall safety of our premises and services,” he told The Borneo Post yesterday.

He said during the three-month campaign starting this month, there will be an assessment on the various departments within the hotel on work discipline in following safety procedures, the level of safety awareness among the staff and the activities organised within the department to improve safety and health awareness.

Meanwhile, Rahimie Che Yen, with 17 years working experience with DOSH, called on the representatives from Limbang Resident’s Office and other government agencies to form a joint safety committee with the Limbang Plaza Management for their own benefit.
