1.2 Situation Before Course Attendance

Before I attend the CePSWaM course, my company faced several

issues on scheduled waste management and handling. Several
weaknesses identified as follows;

 No e-consignment note being issue out.

 The operators who directly involve in scheduled waste at our
premise lack of knowledge
 Wrongly classifying the scheduled waste code for waste of
hydraulic oil.
 There was no proper segregation for scheduled waste generate
in our premise
 Scheduled waste inventory didn’t update.

2
To overcome this situation, the above-mentioned weaknesses has been
improved during my field training period and will discuss further in chapter 3.2
and 3.3.

CHAPTER 2:
ENVIRONMENT MAINSTREAMING TOOLS

2.1 Organization’s Environmental Commitment

2.1.1 Environmental Policy (EP)

Scenario 1
Currently we already have a policy which comprising Health, Safety,
and Environment. This HSE is an integrated management system
based on MS ISO 9001:2015 specifications, however in order to
complying the new requirement of GSR, which require separate
Environment Policy. I will propose to the top management for a new
and separate Environmental Policy.

Kindly please refer Appendix II (1a) for certified true copy of HSE
Policy
Kindly please refer Appendix II (1b) for certified true copy of propose
Environmental Policy

2.1.2 Environmental Budgeting (EB)

Environmental concerns are one of top priority in our daily operation.

Therefore, we have been allocated budget for environment annually.
The budget is used for environmental matters including competent
person training expenses, scheduled waste handling and disposal,
operation and maintenance. From my observation, the amount of
budget is sufficient.

Kindly please refer Appendix II (2) for certified true copy of 2018
annual environmental budget statement and proposed budget 2019.

2.1.3 Environmental Competency (EC)

Currently, our premise only has 1 competent person which is me. My

certificate validity is from 15 November 2018 till 15 November 2019.
Kindly refer Appendix II (3a) for the copy of certificate. The overall
organization chart which highlight my position as CePSWaM Certified
Person is attach in Appendix II (3b).

As a Certified Person in scheduled waste management, my additional

responsibility is to perform DOE regulations functions, operate and
monitor the scheduled waste within our premise. It is also under my
responsibility to train other staff including operation level and
management level on how to handle and manage the scheduled
waste in a right manner. Kindly refer Appendix II (3c) for certified true
copy of full details on my job description. For my observation, it is
sufficient to have only 1 competent person in our premise.

2.1.4 Environmental Monitoring Committee (EMC)

TCSB believed that the success of an organization to comply with the

environmental requirements is contingent upon the relevant personnel
in different departments in TCSB organization playing their role in an
effective manner. To promote collective responsibility to be
environmentally compliant, two monitoring committees are set up: one
at the working level, the other at the policy level. At the working level,
the committee known as the environmental performance committee
(EPMC) is chaired by certified appointed person of the organization
and it meets once in a quarter. At the policy level, the committee is
known as the environmental regulatory compliance monitoring
committee (ERCMC), which meets once in a year. Certified appointed
person of the organization chairs the ERCMC. Kindly refer Appendix II

Estate, 87000 Labuan, Wilayah Persekutuan Labuan.

3.2 Conduct of Scheduled Waste Management Data

3.2.1 Situation Before Course Attendance

Before attending the course, there are few weaknesses on scheduled
waste record keeping as listed below;
a) Poor knowledge and lack awareness on scheduled waste
identification and classification thus, SW 110, SW 311, and SW
422 were not notified to DOE through e-SWIS
b) e-SWIS is manage by non-competent person, thus many of
waste code is overridden and not standardized

3.2.2 Change Instituted

Improvement has been made during the field training period as follow
a) Notify scheduled waste code with proper description through e-
SWIS
b) Doing the inventory adjustment for actual weight of each waste
code
c) Create e-consignment note for disposal purposes

15
3.2.3 Scheduled Waste Record Keeping Data

a) Scheduled Waste Notification

in complying with regulation 3 of EQSWR 2005, all scheduled waste
generated is notified through e-SWIS within 30 days from the date of
generated. Refer appendix iii (8): copy of E-Notification for each waste
code.

b) Schedule Waste inventory

as instructed by DOE, inventory requires to be updated on monthly
basis if there is some generated quantity, in addition, all scheduled
waste will be recorded into e-SWIS system each time the waste is
transferred to the scheduled waste storage.

Appendix iii (9): Copy of E-Inventory (6month)

c) Scheduled Waste Consignment Note

Consignment note is used at the time of scheduled waste being
transport out from the premise. We make use the E-Consignment note
for each category of scheduled wastes as well manual consignment
note (upon request by transporter). As a waste generator, we will fill
up.

16
3.3 Improvement

3.3.1 Area of Improvement

a) Scheduled Waste Storage Inspection
Before attending the CePSWaM Course, we never conduct an
inspection on our scheduled waste storage even though it is
requirement under the guideline. I believe we have been doing the
necessaries accordingly but to be in more safe side, it would be better
practice if we have a proper checklist to conduct the inspection. So
now I have established a checklist to be used during monthly
inspection which covers the following;
 Labelling
 Storage Condition
 Drum Management

By doing this regular inspection, we able to maintain the storage

condition, increase the awareness level among workers while handling
the scheduled waste in storage and able to fully comply the
requirement under the Guideline and can prevent the non-compliance.

Appendix iv (1): Copy of scheduled waste storage inspection checklist.

Eg: Area/Sector
a) Staffs awareness of Scheduled Waste
b) Packaging of Scheduled Waste
c) Labelling of Scheduled Waste
d) Scheduled Waste Storage: area /condition
e) Emergency Response Preparedness etc.
f) Scheduled Waste Reduction/Recycle/Reuse/Recover

 CHAPTER 4:
CONCLUSIONS

4.1 Experience and Knowledge

After attending CePSWaM course, I am able to gain more knowledge

of the various issues and action plans that need to be taken in order to
manage scheduled wastes in a more professional manner

The field training report that I had undertaken over the last six (6)
months has been useful in practicing what has been learnt during
attending mentioned course. I took the field training report as an
important aspect of gaining more knowledge and gives opportunity for
me to apply every knowledge that I gained in the various aspects of
managing and operating scheduled wastes according to the legal
requirement of Malaysia.

4.2 Improvements in the Management of Scheduled Wastes

Another benefits to the organization when the staff completed field

training report is the awareness to improve or create necessary
policies and manuals for the company.

The Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Policy has already been
approved and implemented. The policy and manual on Waste
Management and Emergency Response Plan are being reviewed for
improvement.

With the improvement and implementation of above, Thunder Cranes

Sdn Bhd will be able to manage its operation better in a more
professional manner. Especially in the area of Scheduled Waste
Management.
