JOHOR BAHRU: Six patients, including
four women and two men, were killed in a fire at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
of a hospital in Johor Bahru.
The
fire on level two of the Sultanah Aminah Hospital (HSA) started at around 8.55am on Tuesday (Oct 25).
The Director of Johor's Fire and Rescue
Department Othman Abdullah said 166 firemen and 10 emergency vehicles were
rushed to HSA at 8.56am.
Mr Othman said the six who were killed
were among the seven patients in the southern ICU on the second floor of the
hospital.
One patient was rescued by firefighters
who rushed there after being notified at 8.56am, he added.
"There were seven critically ill
patients in the ICU who, according to doctors, were dependent on ventilators
under normal circumstances and could not be moved without their beds," he
said.
He said the
fire did not spread to other
areas of the hospital.
Meanwhile, Johor Bahru Selatan Police
chief ACP Sulaiman Salleh said five of the bodies were found at 11.15am and the
sixth a little later. He advised the public not to be taken in by unverified
information. It was unclear what started the fire.
Meanwhile an eyewitness, Habibah Abd
Ghani, 37, said she was not aware of the fire and only realised it after she
was out of the building.
"During the incident, I was in the
fourth floor ward with my father who was admitted for pain in his ribs. Then I
heard a commotion and was asked by the nurse to get out of the ward."
She added:
"The situation was under control as we went down the stairs, assisted by
the hospital employees."

Safety in a work environment is
important because it helps to protect employees and can keep the costs that an
employer has to a minimum. It is important to keep employees safe and to
send them home in the same condition in which they came to work.
When employees go to a job, they are usually not
expecting to be injured. Safety practices will help keep employees from getting
injured and will help keep them motivated to do a job. Employers who exhibit
good safety practices will generally have higher productivity rates because
employees will be more inclined to work when they know that they are not going
to get hurt on the job.
The cost of safety incidences can greatly impact a
company. While taking proper safety measures may cost somewhat more in the beginning,
these costs will be much lower than the costs that are incurred when there is
an accident. An accident in the workplace can raise insurance premiums, can
cause the company to lose property through damage and can cause the company to
lose money in terms of having to replace the injured worker. An accident is
always more costly than the safety procedures that can prevent it.
