INGENIEUR adopted for safeguarding the safety of workers, the public, the environment and property. As society becomes more complex and as technological advancement improves the well-being of the community, the public expects engineering professionals to mitigate, if not prevent accidents and their resultant costs, loss of production and lowering of morale. Safety gains can be made when engineering professionals, exert a strong influence throughout the decision making process and ensure the consequences arising from hazard and risk are controlled to the level as far as practicable. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, about 7,000 mining safety engineers and 23,000 safety engineers are employed in the United States. Safety engineers work in architectural firms and engineering design companies. The engineers also are employed at construction work sites, mines, and manufacturing facilities. Practising safe engineering is the right thing to do and is the smart choice moving forward. Many countries require or promote safe engineering. National organisations and local professional bodies can work together to create tools, eliminate barriers, and facilitate adoption of this important practice in Malaysia. REFERENCES 1.
