3.2 Scheduled Waste Management Data

3.2.1 SW Record Keeping Data

E-SWIS is the system created by DOE to manage the scheduled waste record that
was generated and disposal of the scheduled waste. As in LHF, the inventory will
be updated every month at the system but it also record for daily at inventory
manual at log book. Once the wastes generated stored almost to 20 MT in storage
before 180 days, consignment note will be created from E-swis and the transporter
will collect the wastes.

Details about scheduled waste must be recorded and always need to update for
references and compliance with legal requirement. Generated wastes and disposal
of wastes need to clarify how we declared all the wastes to treatment facility
licensed by DOE. Summary of the scheduled wastes data in LHF is as shown in
the table 3.5 below.

3.3 Change in Management of SW

3.3.1 Situation Before Course Attendance
Before attend CePSWaM Course, the management of schedule waste not proper
handle in Lii Hen Furniture Sdn Bhd. There are no competent person on handling
scheduled wastes management. e-SWIS system also not active and does not have
knowledge on handling the e-SWIS. Our company disposed all the wastes every
month at prescribed premises which contractor company have license with DOE

21
but we not keep the record on data for future references. All the information about
notification, inventory and consignment note have been settled by contractor that
our company appoint to collect the scheduled wastes. However, before attending
the CePSWaM course, the data collected were not complete based on first date
wastes generated in LHF.

LHF lack of training about scheduled wastes management due to inventory was
not accurate based on storage on site and inventory in e-SWIS. They seems lack
of knowledge about scheduled waste and don’t know that wastes is categories as
scheduled wastes.

In LHF, waste card not provide to waste contractor. There are no information about
waste to provide the contractor if any incident happen. It just disposed the waste
without waste card as a waste generator.

Scheduled wastes storage at LHF also in poor condition. The storage is share
building with production and poor ventilation. The storage not suitable for
scheduled wastes. They keep all the wastes without any inventory record and date
generated wastes.

3.3.2 Situation After Course Attendence

However, after completed the CePSWaM course in August 2020, I started to learn
all the basic requirement and apply it to our company. I have conducted the
scheduled wastes management system in our company in accordance the
Environment Quality (Scheduled Wastes) Regulation, 2005.

I have practice to all how to comply with Fifth Schedule, Regulation 11 in

Environmental Quality Act (Scheduled Wastes) Regulations 2005 and give them
training for the basic guideline to follow the requirements.

LHF provide the proper storage for scheduled wastes with the bigger size and can
load more of wastes. It also have a good ventilation with natural air and away from
production activity. Other than that, I have created waste card for SW410 in the

22
company for provide the waste card to the waste transporter. This is to comply
Regulation 13 Environmental Quality Act (Scheduled Wastes) Regulation 2005 and
follows Seventh Schedule. Table 3.6 shows the Scheduled Waste Management
Data Status Before and After attending CePSWaM course.

3.3.3 Area of Improvement
The area of improvement of scheduled wastes management in Lii Hen Furniture
Sdn Bhd have been listed on Table 3.8 based on the situation before course
attended.

In addition, improvement on management are first thing I do before set up all the
thing about scheduled wastes. The organization members was follow the
regulation and guideline of scheduled wastes at workplace. They do step by step
to make sure all workplace activities are compliances with Regulation 13
Environmental Quality Act (Scheduled Wastes) Regulation 2005.

Other than that, for scheduled wastes inventory, we have manage and do properly
record on e-SWIS account. There also have person-in-charge on managing the
scheduled wastes storage to control and record in/out of wastes inventory.
Competent person have check the manual inventory record for updated the
quantity of wastes at e-SWIS account. On packaging and labelling of waste we
improve and follow the guideline. We change on packaging of disposal part to
increase the disposal of waste on monthly. We also add another labelling on the
packaging based on characteristic of wastes.

After created organization for management on scheduled wastes, we always

meeting and discuss how to solving any problem. Any issues that related to
environmental point it into meeting and always refer to DOE to give us some
advice and opinion. All procedure on scheduled wastes management and training
also being established and done to the employees.

3.3.4 Future Efforts

Due to some limitation of intervention to current practices involved Lii Hen Furiture
Sdn Bhd policies, some of the improvement can’t be done in the specific period
time. However, As a competent person, I want to improve our company in all
aspect of Scheduled Waste handling. I want to all of staff have knowledge on
scheduled wastes. That not for management only but all employees must know
how to handle the scheduled wastes in proper handling according to

26

CHAPTER 4 : CONCLUSION
The CePSWaM course has given important knowledge in the scheduled wastes
management in Lii Hen Furniture Sdn Bhd. The proper schedules wastes
management shall be focus on every aspect to avoid impact on the natural
environment on earth. It can be pollution on environment if we not take care on
scheduled wastes management. Basic principle of scheduled wastes management
such as concept of Cradle to Cradle has been implemented in correct way. On this
course, we have learned how to contribute to proper handling on scheduled wastes
according to Environmental Quality Act (Scheduled Wastes) Regulation 2005. All
industry shall be followed the regulations or requirements made by Department of
Environment (DOE) to save the earth from polluted. Therefore also followed our
owns ISO 9001 that focus on Quality Management System (QMS) which is ability to
consistently provide products and service that meet customers and regulatory
requirement. After slowly followed regulations and requirement, all staff aware and
have knowledge how to handling scheduled wastes. Their skill upgrading and easy
to understand why scheduled wastes should be manage properly by follow
guideline. That are easy for competent person to assure our company to follow all
government requirement.

As a Competent person, there are some limitations that I faced during the training
period. One of the limitations on budget. Our company spend a lot of money and
time to set up and run for followed all requirement. The pricing and budgeting only
can be obtained with management approval. We do step by step to avoid over
budget on manage of scheduled wastes. Our management approved to provide new
wastes storage which is can load more than before. But, it’s also take time to run
that project due to Malaysian Movement Control Order (MCO) within 2 year before.
Management also still think our company in a comfort zone. So, they give many
reasons to follow the requirement for the first because they lack of awareness and
training on the importance of the scheduled wastes handling. Besides I waiting for
budgeting approval from management and face of employee that lack of awareness,
I also another problem to finish my report. I had to handle audit from buyer almost 1

28
month to prepare all document during audit and I had no time to focus on my FTR
report.

To be great opportunity in future, management on scheduled wastes must be

systematic and more effectively. Any suggestions related to improve the wastes
management that involve costing and budget to company should be consider. Any
suggestion that followed to government requirement must be discuss on board
director to interest of the company. First of all, company should allocate yearly
budget and don’t share with other department. Separate budget for environment
purpose and safety purpose. Therefore, we can focus and control scheduled wastes
management properly with zero wastes in the production. At the same time,
company should create team or department to handle environmental issue. Send
other staff to environmental course for understand all about scheduled wastes at
least from basic thing. After attending the course, I realize that in five days course
are too short to understand all the chapter without any basic knowledge about
scheduled wastes. It a short period of time to understand subject better. As a
student, I only focus on handling and managing scheduled wastes when it is
implemented at workplace. CePSWaM course should be extend to all worker who
directly involved on scheduled wastes in our company. However, during the period
of field training, I have plan all the project to improve our workplace on managing
scheduled wastes. I and EPMC members do step by step to achieve the goal. We
create awareness at workplace to protect the environment.
