Abstract:
Safety is vital in any industry, including the offshore sector, which is classified as a major hazard industry. Health, Safet
y
and the Environment
(HSE) identified that the prob
a
bility of accidents is high while
working on the offshore sectors
where it will exposed workers to many hazardous work activities. The appropriate measures to prevent acc
i
dent in this
sectors must be laid out clearly. This paper is to identify the effectiveness of safety awareness campaign
and the conti-
nuity of the awareness among the workers to prevent injuries at of
fshore. To achieve this, we have identified
the level of
awareness and propose a guideline on areas of improvement. Prior
of embarking to offshore, staff w
e
re
exposed to safety
awareness pr
o
gram for four weeks. A
f
ter the program, we started with the pretest to all staff. They were posted off-
shore for 6 weeks. Within the period, the performance awareness of each staff is monitored through observation and
interview. During the f
inal week, the posttest questionnaire were administered to all staff. Two instruments were used
for the quantitative data collection, which are Unsafe Act Unsafe Condition (UAUC) card; and Behavior Observation Tool
(BOT) card. Questio
n
naire data were analy
zed quantitatively. Paired
-
sample t
-
test was used for analyzing pre and post
result. The results show that the mean was increased.
Recent studies on the safety briefing highlighted several significant
changes in terms of e
m
ployee understanding toward safe
ty. Safety awareness training has been introduced in the new
safety briefing prior to of
f
shore mobilization.
