The New Malaysian Journalist Phobia ... Safety Nets!!!!!
What are they crying about? Do they want safety net even when buildings are nearing completion?
See this picture ... what's the problem?
The building is fully claded and near completion. The brickwalls are completed; the windows and doors are installed; what's left is the finishing touches and probably internal finishes. Probably, any external open areas that are at higher levels, and where workers and materials are being transported, there will be a need of some form of rigid and upright railings or hoardings to provide some form of retention and protection. Why do you still need the safety net around the full parameters of the building exterior, Mr. Reporter, of New Straits Times???
Look at another one below ...
This project is in Jalan Putramas, off Jalan Kuching, Sarawak. Again, the building is nearing completion and exterior of the building elevation are fully claded. The works outstanding is probably internal finished ... such as, floor rendering, tiling works, and internal doors and window panes.
So, is there a need for safety net around the exterior parameters? NO!
The problem here is that the railings have yet to be installed. So what is needed is a proper metal or wooden hoardings fixed at the position of the railings until the railings are installed. The netting along the railing areas are incorrect system. It should be something more rigid and firm and which can protect the workers who will be hoisting the building materials and working close to the proposed railing areas.
Mr. Reporters, please find out more about system for safety and health in construction project. Ask the relevant experts or experienced engineers, please!!!!
What the f**k is the cry of safety net? We need construction safety processes and risk management system in such projects. Not safety net per se.
