UTP Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) Web Based System

Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with
protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. It
may involve interaction among many cognate disciplines, including occupational
medicine, industrial hygiene, public health, safety engineering, health physics,
ergonomics, toxicology, epidemiology, industrial relations, public policy, sociology, and
psychology. The objective of this project is to develop a web based system for UTP HSE
department. In order to identify and assess health concerns in all HSE critical activities or
business, and also to recommend to line management via various means or ways to
prevent, control and mitigate such concerns to ensure healthy and safety working
environment in UTP. Currently, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) has no
systematic HSE web based system to store information about UTP HSE activities. The
information about HSE is recorded manually by HSE administrator but does not share
among UTP staff and student. All records regarding Chemical Register, CHRA and
Incident/Accident reporting was kept in cabinet without sort out according to cluster.
Data recording was done manually using paper based method. The scope of study is to
computerize the process of storing and sharing information about UTP HSE department
to all UTP staff and student. Besides, it is also to computerized all functions in the current
system. This system provides features to view all information and records, sharing
information, make the process of editing, updating and retrieving data become easier for
HSE administrator. In developing this web based system, the waterfall model is
implemented. This system is developed using Macromedia DreamWeaver and EasyPHP
that offers the dynamic language PHP and efficient use of database under Windows. The
package used includes Apache 1.3.27, PHP 4.3.3, PHP MyAdmin 2.5.3 and also MySQL
4.0.15. Besides, it has undergone functional, integration and user acceptance testing. As
the result, UTP HSE system is developed in two modules, HSE administrator and staff
from various department and also student. All features in the system have solved the
problems stated. As a conclusion, this system has achieved the objective stated and has
eliminate the inefficiency of data management using paper based method.
