Mill Profile & Workforce
01 / 04Budi Nasib Sdn. Bhd. operates a palm oil mill situated within the Buan Land District of Tatau, Bintulu, Sarawak. The facility was commissioned in November 2022 and is currently under the operational stewardship of Senior Manager Ng Kian Kee. The mill runs a two-shift schedule, with operations active from 08:00 to 16:00, supporting a combined workforce of ninety personnel.
Machinery, Power & Storage
02 / 04The mill's power and processing backbone is anchored by a Mackenzie Water Tube Boiler alongside a pair of Shinko steam turbines, supplying the mechanical and electrical energy needed for round-the-clock milling operations. Two diesel generators are maintained on standby to ensure continuity of power during grid interruptions. Bulk product storage is provided through a combination of CPO tanks with a combined capacity of 4,000 metric tonnes, while diesel reserves are held in a single large tank.
| Equipment | Type / Make | Quantity / Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Boiler | Mackenzie Water Tube Boiler | 1 Unit |
| Power Generators | — | 2 Units (520 kW each) |
| Steam Turbines | Shinko | 2 Units (4,700 kW each) |
| CPO Storage Tanks | Bulk Storage | 2 Tanks (3,000 MT + 1,000 MT) |
| Diesel Reserve Tank | — | 1 Tank (16,000 litres) |
Fire Suppression & Emergency Preparedness
03 / 04The mill maintains a layered fire suppression setup comprising portable extinguishers, a fully active pump system, a designated fire command structure, and a regular drill programme. The most recent fire drill was conducted on 22 May 2026, with an assembly point confirmed as operational. A Hot Work Permit system is in place to manage ignition risks during maintenance activities.
All fire extinguishers on site were due for service or replacement on 11 June 2026. As of the survey date, this expiry has elapsed. Arrangements for inspection, recharging, or replacement should be expedited without delay to maintain full compliance and operational readiness.
Portable Fire Extinguishers
All 43 extinguishers (36 ABC + 7 CO₂) share a single expiry date which has now lapsed. Priority corrective action is required.
Firefighting Pump System
A regular pump inspection checklist is in use and maintained on site. All three pumps were confirmed active at time of survey.
Fire Command Structure
OSH Governance, Training & Security
04 / 04Occupational Safety and Health governance at Budi Nasib mill is structured through a formally appointed OSH Committee, supported by documented standard operating procedures and an active training calendar. The committee convenes regularly, with the most recent meeting held on 13 March 2026, and is backed by a certified first aid team whose qualifications remain valid until July 2028.
OSH Committee
The most recent OSH Committee meeting was recorded on 13 March 2026, which is over three months prior to the survey date. Depending on the mill's committee meeting schedule, a follow-up session may be due. Ensure minutes are documented and action items tracked.
Training & First Aid Readiness
Site Security
The mill's perimeter security is maintained by a guard force of ten personnel operating across two shifts, providing continuous around-the-clock coverage. CCTV surveillance is operational on site, though the current coverage is limited to a single camera point, which may warrant review given the scale of the facility.
Only one camera point is currently installed across the entire mill premises. Given the facility's size, shift operations, and diesel and CPO storage risks, an expanded CCTV coverage plan is recommended to strengthen perimeter and asset monitoring.
Survey Summary & Key Action Points
Overall, Budi Nasib Sdn. Bhd. demonstrates a reasonably sound safety foundation for a mill of its operational profile. Fire suppression infrastructure is active, first aid readiness is certified and valid, OSH governance is formally structured, and security coverage is continuous. However, two specific items require prompt attention, and one warrants ongoing monitoring.
All 43 units across two extinguisher classes have passed their service date. Immediate inspection, recharging, or replacement is required to restore compliance under OSHA 1994 and relevant BOMBA regulations.
A single camera point is insufficient for a mill handling large volumes of CPO and diesel. A formal security camera audit and expansion plan is recommended.
The last recorded OSH Committee meeting was 13 March 2026. Confirm whether the scheduled meeting cadence has been adhered to, and ensure the next session is convened and minuted promptly.
Fire drills are current, all three firefighting pumps are active and checked regularly, first aid certifications are valid until 2028, and documented SOPs are in place. These reflect well-maintained operational discipline.
