582

Continuous monitoring has led to a decrease in work-related fatalities since 2013 across all industries. However the construction industry saw an increase in workplace accidents from 18 in 2014 to 154 in 2020. This was revealed by Safety, Health and Environment National Authority (SHENA) Senior Inspector, Hajah Bibi Kalthom binti Haji CA Mohamed at the seminar ‘Growing Importance of HSSE in Energy Sector’ hosted by Petroleum Authority (PA) of Brunei Darussalam Head HSSE Pengiran Adi Johan bin Pengiran Haji Annuar during Session 3 of the Brunei Mid-Year Conference and Exhibition 2022 (Brunei MYCE 2022) at the Muzakarah Hall of the International Convention Centre, Berakas.
