Risk management framework and practices for boiler operations in Malaysia

Boiler operations had a reputation for being one of the most hazardous work environments. Workers in the boiler plant face many safety risks due to the nature of the job. The work environment is often hot and noisy, consisting of several major equipment and operations involved in its process, and th...

Workers in the boiler plant face many safety risks due to the nature of the job. The work environment is often hot and noisy, consisting of several major equipment and operations involved in its process, and there is always a risk for crushing injuries, electrical shocks and burns, boiler fires and explosions, and contact with hazardous chemicals.
