Day 9 (24.2.11) - Adios Alor Setar

by S.J.Poobalan

The last day started at 9am at the main meeting room of Kota Setar DHO. At 9am we had a briefing from Mr.Fitri, officer from the (Keselamatan Pekerjaan  dan Alam Sekitar/ Occuptional Safety and Environmental Health) KPAS. He explained to us regarding various aspects of occupational safety and environmental health. He also shared with us various statistics regarding the topic.

After that, Staff Nurse Rozaini took over the session to explain more specifically about needle-prick injury. She also shared with us her experience of dealing with needle-prick injury cases.

Around 11am, we were quite bored with continuous talks without a break, but not after the beginning of the next session by officer from the Kawalan Mutu Air Minuman (KMAM) unit.  He explained to us the various water sources, the differences between them, water treatment and storage system. He also gave lots of info regarding the inter-departmental co-operation between Jabatan Kerja Raya and Jabatan Kesihatan. He also provided handout regarding the topic. 




After that, he brought us to the chemical laboratory to demonstrate the drinking water quality analysis method. He brought us to a specific water sampling tab which is located around few meters away from the laboratory. He brought along all the essential tools and chemicals for the demonstration. He thought all of us how to perform a systematic physical and chemical analysis of drinking water. After that he provided a collecting bag to all of us and gave us chance to try in our own.




After lunch the next session started as scheduled with the BAKAS unit. Talk was given by Mr. Ridzuan, officer from the BAKAS unit. In his talk, he covered most of the important aspects of BAKAS and also he answered all our queries at the end of the session. The talk was extremely useful.


Around 4pm everything came to an end. We were done with all the scheduled activities. It was time for farewell from the DHO. We thanked all the officers who helped us during the posting. And left the DHO with a heavy heart filled with lots of fun and sweet memories.
