Outline the Workplace Safety and Health initiatives that have been implemented by you in your workplace in 2025.
In 2025, Mohamed Faisal Bin Ayoob implemented several Workplace Safety and Health initiatives to improve risk control and operational safety. He led daily Gemba walks to proactively identify hazards and ensure timely mitigation, strengthening on-ground safety practices. He also introduced structured safety engagements such as toolbox briefings to encourage open communication and worker involvement in safety improvements.
A key initiative was championing a Kaizen project to replace manual caulking guns with battery-operated ones, reducing noise exposure and eliminating repetitive strain while improving work efficiency. This significantly lowered the risk of noise-induced deafness and ergonomic injuries.
In addition, he implemented a QR code system for easy access to Safety Data Sheets (SDS), enabling staff to retrieve critical safety information quickly during emergencies. He also supported ergonomic improvements such as the introduction of a battery rack to reduce manual handling risks.
Through these initiatives, he strengthened hazard identification, improved worker safety, and fostered a proactive safety culture focused on continuous improvement and shared responsibility.
