KEMAMAN: Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd was fined RM50,000 after the company was found guilty yesterday for failing to ensure a safe work system which resulted in the death of a worker three years ago.
Judge Badrul Munir Mohd Hamdy also ordered the company to pay costs of RM5,000.
A press statement issued by the Department of Occupational, Safety and Health stated that the company was found to have committed an offence under the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 for failing to provide a safe work system for the removal and installation of grating at its Onshore Gas Terminal in Kerteh, Terengganu.
