Safety Policy A Must In Schools
A form five student was killed recently in a bizarre incident in the study room of his boarding school when the wall collapsed on him at SMK Datuk Harun in Tanjung Karang, Selangor.
This is not the first time such a fatal accident has occurred in a school.
Over the years, a number of fatal accidents had taken place in schools involving innocent students.
In the wake of the latest tragedy, it is all the more urgent for the Education Ministry to emphasise and carry out a safety and health policy for all schools.
A matter of utmost concern is the quality of construction of the school wall by the contractor concerned.
The tragic accident should be thoroughly investigated and action be taken against those responsible.
The subject of "safe schools" should not be confined only to aspects concerning indiscipline, crime, threats to the safety of students, bullying and gangster-like behaviour but also to matters concerning the safety of school buildings, classrooms, equipment and all amenities.
In this regard, there is a need for schools to be aware of the existence and importance of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, 1994 and its application to educational institutions.
The application of the Act to the schools as "the place of work" aims to make all schools safe and healthy places of work for teachers, students and visitors alike.
In line with the provisions in the Act, it is the duty of employers (the school management) to formulate a safety and health policy, implement risk prevention through safety and health inspection and safety and health auditing to identify shortcomings and to decide on remedial measures.
Ensuring that all schools and educational institutions take an active interest in safety and health will also benefit the students who can learn more about safety and health and be safety conscious from an early age.
This will benefit them greatly when they enter the workforce.

Council To Look Into Salaries Of Electronics, Textile Sectors
Putrajaya : The days of low wages for workers in the electronics and textile sectors may soon be over.
The Human Resources Ministry has given a directive for a wage council to be set up to look into the salaries of workers in both these sectors after receiving complaints that they "consistently received low wages."
Its minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam said several commission of inquiries and wage councils had been formed previously to look into issues of minimum wages for workers in several sectors, such as security guards, clinic assistants, hotel and catering and general workers in small holdings.
"The ministry is currently undertaking steps to look into wages in the electronics and textile sectors. The wage council will conduct a nationwide inquiry by interviewing workers in these two industries and come up with recommendations."
"We hope they will be able to finish their work by the end of next year," he told reporters Tuesday after receiving a memorandum on minimum wage from MTUC at his office here in conjunction of the World Day for Decent Work.
A similar wage council had recently approved a minimum wage for private security guards of between RM250 to RM700 to help ease their burden.
Subramaniam said while the Government did not agree on the implementation of a minimum wage for all workers, it recognised that it was necessary to offer decent salaries as the country was losing its skilled employees to its competitors.
"We are losing our skilled workers to Singapore and the Middle East. We may end up losing even more so we must come up with attractive salaries as a way of persuading them to stay on."
"I have requested the Malaysian Employers' Federation to come up with guidelines on what is the appropriate salary for workers in the different areas in the private sector and how to implement them," he said, adding that the ministry would also continue to hold dialogues with both employers and workers in sectors, which were not covered by the work of such councils.
He said the ministry was also taking steps to reduce the presence of foreign workers in the country, adding that the Cabinet had agreed on reducing the numbers by at least 500,000 persons and was thinking of ways and means of accomplishing this without it affecting businesses and the economy.
MTUC president Syed Shahir Syed Mohamud said the union would continue to pressure the Government on the issue of minimum wage of RM900 monthly for all workers despite the setting up of the wage councils.
"The wage councils are a separate issue for us and we are not against it. However, last year’s increase in salaries for civil servants have had a positive impact."
"So, we hope it's time to give those working in the private sector a similar increase as well," he said, adding that the memorandum also touched on the possible spillover effects of the financial crisis in United States and Europe on the workers here.
Besides minimum wage, the memorandum touched on issues such as unions and productivity-linked wage systems.
