HSE MONITORING AND MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE.
HSE MONITORING & MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
PURPOSE
Safety and environment performance monitoring and measurement procedure are
meant to verify the health, safety and environment performance of a particular organization
and to certify the efficacy related to risk controls. It has to be done often to guarantee
continual improvements.
SCOPE
This technique is meant to check and measure the health safety environment which
includes; identifying potential zones that can cause maltreatment to employees, passivity with
work safety health laws and guidelines. For instance, to determine the measure of TYU
Engineering Pte Ltd objectives and targets should be established, carry out definite
monitoring methods and procedures to assess equipment kits. Also, assess operational
conditions state and processes and then developing suitable documentation of records of
monitoring results to avoid previous and feature complications (Boyle, 2015).
OBJECTIVE
To achieve safety, the following should be performed; identifying and evaluating
unsafe operational conditions, keeping trail of all safe working conditions and preparing for
hazard reduction.
PROCEDURE
Equipment used in the company should be of the highest quality and should be
adequately maintained daily. For instance, TYU Engineering Pte Ltd has been experiencing
noise pollution. Noise can lead to poor hearing, carelessness, irritation, tiredness, restlessness
and hearing loss in severe cases (Asad, Jubeen & Iqbal, 2013) In this case, a sound level
meter should be installed in several places in the company to measure and notify sound

levels. safety measures such as wearing soundproof helmets should also be enforced. Air
conditioners should be installed in areas prone to heat stress to create a favorable working
environment which will enhance worker’s performance. Dust particle absorbance devices
should be installed in dusty areas of the company, besides, workers in areas susceptible to
dust should wear dust masks and coats to ensure safe working conditions. Incidents of
occupational health and safety and pollution of the environment are potential threats faced by
any organization (Purwanto, Suharjo, Sumarwan & Daryanto, 2014). Therefore, Health,
safety, and environment departments should ensure well-documented safety records are kept.
The company should ensure they conduct frequent checks on electrical equipment to
ensure electric switches and wires are properly installed and are in excellent condition, cables
are all well insulated, plugs are in the right working conditions, and finally, machine
shielding is installed. In terms of public health and safety, the environmental hygiene sector is
a high-risk industry (Battaglia, Passetti & Frey, 2015). Hence, the regulation for harmful
material storage and discarding of construction materials should be firmly followed. Also, the
company should ensure all employees are adequately educated about waste management. The
outflow of harmful materials problems instantly be reported and corrective action is taken.
The company should ensure that they comply with the health, safety, and environment
requirements, these include an application for a proper licensing for proficient personnel,
sending workers to training programs, conduct regular inspection on lifting types of
equipment by lubricating them, doing a consistent hygiene check-up, putting up noise and
chemical control measures.
TYU Engineering Pte Ltd should provide personal protective gear for all of their
workers for safety purposes. Brauer (2016) noted that “having value for human life is a moral
basis for the field of safety and health” (p.4). Employees working under noisy environment
should have less working hours or else allocated short-term shifts. There are several activities

HSE MONITORING AND MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE.
in the company that lead to noise pollution and vibration; these activities should be planned
in a way that impacts fewer people. Some of these activities should have substitutes; for
example, the use of coal for the production of heat for electricity production should be
switched with renewable energy such as solar and wind. Water leakages are another
challenge that has been ailing the company and resulting in huge financial losses as funds are
allocated to cater for water bills including leaked amount. Extra cost and labor are utilized in
repairing the pipe and paint in the lower section of the company. Two employees will be
required to install a new waterproof system at the lower part, this will be a daily routine for
one month.
TYU Engineering Pte Ltd has undergone 0% finishing and decoration for a year now.
This has made the organizational picture fade in people's minds. The company should be
repainted within a period of 10days. Flowers should be planted and watered daily for one
month. The site manager will supervise this, thus he/she will be held accountable for any
mess in decoration (Tarrahi & Shadravan, 2016). There are various activities undertaken by
the company that leads to chemical hazards such as oil spillage from transformers, this has
led to adverse environmental conditions for employees. This is a risk that has to be mitigated
as soon as possible. A plan has been established that all chemical operations will be
automated but with minimum supervision by the technicians, thus will reduce the exposure
time of chemical to workers.
Installation and repairs of devices such as air conditioners, CCTV surveillance and
security lights have not been done for a long period now since there is no specific employee
responsible. The site manager is to appoint a technician within the company to deal with
repairs. All reporting consultation and schedules about repairs are to be directed to the
respective site managers. Measuring the health, safety, and environment (HSE) efficiency of
a company is important for the continuous improvement strategy, a principle of the modern

PROACTIVE MEASUREMENTS /REACTIVATE MEASUREMENTS
Two major ways of monitoring performance that should be implement
include; proactive and reactive monitoring. Proactive monitoring ensures that HSE standards
are followed before any incidents occur. For example, risk valuation of work activities that
may lead to noise pollution and possible hazards. Some examples of the proactive measures
include Proactive monitoring, Daily equipment checks, Period compliance audits, Periodic
review of safety documents, and Quarterly indoor air monitoring.
. Reactive monitoring includes utilizing incidence resulting from poor health safety
and environment practices as a way of improvement, for instance, the damage is done to the
property, reports of the accident and deprived health practices. Key performance indicators
should be identified and used to ensure the company achieves its targets. (Amir-Heidari,
Maknoon, Taheri & Bazyari, 2017). Reactive measurements include; Reactive monitoring,
response to complaints/ illness, Number of accidents, days lost, fines, etc., Number of notices
of violation and Completion of corrective action.
QUANTITATIVE/QUALITATIVE PERFORMANCE DATA.
Quantitative performance data mainly depend on numerical measures while
qualitative data cannot be measured using numbers. Importantly, quantitative data is non-
statistical and usually semi-structured and unstructured in nature and since it cannot be

measured numbers, it is categorised based on attributes, properties, labels, or other identifiers.
Therefore, quantitative measurements include, Sample analysis, direct instrument readings,
and Number of lost work days as a result of occupational hazards. Similarly, Qualitative
assessment of parameters entails risk of accidents/ injuries reductions, WSH results
inspections, and risk assessment result analysis.
