The Adequacy of Team Energy Corporation's Occupational Health and Safety Programs as Perceived by Selected Rank & File Employees

INTRODUCTION

Team Energy Corporation formerly Mirant Pagbilao Power Station has been acclaimed by Power Magazine of the United States of America as one of the Top Ten Power Plants in 2003. This recognition was brought about by the remarkable efficiency and performance shown by the Pagbilao Plant and the effective safety & health programs, environmental stewardship and best corporate social responsibility practices of the corporation.


To furnish its workers with OSH knowledge, the company through the Training Section of its Technical Services Department, conducts orientations and training session to communicate safety and health matters. A calendar or training schedule is established each year and implemented in coordination with the Training Section and other concerned groups such as the Safety Section, Environment Section and Medical Clinic.


These efforts have paved the way for Team Energy Corporation’s string of successes in the field of OSH in particular and the industry in general. In recent years, it has received the ISO 14001 Certification from the Geneva-based Societe Generale de Surveillance (SGS), the Gawad Kaligtasan at Kalusugan Institutional Award from the Department of Labor and Employment, the Gawad Kalasag Award from the National Disaster Coordinating Council and the Environmental Stewardship Awards from the Pollution Control Association of the Philippines.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The main concern of this study is to determine whether Team Energy Corporation has indeed succeeded in its goal to achieve excellence in its Occupational Health and Safety Programs as perceived by its rank and file employees, which constitutes majority of its workforce.
