"Mujur acara lewat sehari"- Harian Metro; "Bumbung stadium runtuh"-Utusan Malaysia; "Workers escape in the nick of time as roof of year-old stadium collapses"-The Star.
These are the headlines of a tragedy in Gong Badak, Terengganu. It appears to be very fortunate as the annual inter-varsity staff sport carnival should be held today. If the event was officiated yesterday, I would strongly confident that most of the hospital wards will be fully occupied........Any problems will show the symptom first before the actual problem occurred. This is very basic and fundamental in Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) approach. Early equipment/facility abnormality can be detected earlier if, proper, well organised and sufficient training and education are provided accordingly. For instance, cracks, abnormal paint smear, leakages, unfamiliar sounds, etc. are some of the symptoms that showed instability of the building.
I wonder, whether the supervisor, manager or the person in charge are delivering this basic information to their staff, especially those who are dealing with routine jobs such as cleaner, sweeper, gardener, etc. And more importantly, the staff knows what to do if such symptoms appeared and fast remedy action taken.
