  • Level of noise: SMPC consistently monitors level of noise according to the required law to ensure of no noise pollution to the community. Wind noise reduction devices (Silencers) is used in the production process. The company also installed soundproof wall, noise barrier tunnel, soundproof room for grinding, a cover room for water and powder spraying blower, cover room for Zinc and sandblasting blower to reduce noise caused by the factory operation. Planting trees around the factory fence is used as a soundproof wall. SMPC also considers other additional directions to prevent and manage the noise pollution in order not to affect the health of employees in the factory as well as communities in nearby areas. For the employee, the company also have noise protection, such as ear plug, and ear muff for the employees who work in the environment at risk of noise pollution. The employees also are encouraged to wear personal protection equipment (PPE). The company organizes to have the hearing test on top of the annual medical checkup, for the employees who work in the loudly noise area.
  • Lighting: The company manages to have the illumination measurement in the working area at least once a year, so that employees get to work with enough lighting, good working environment. This also to prevent accident while working.
  • Heat: SMPC arranges the heat measurement in the working area, and immediately correct it, if the hot environment is found to be in improper operation, for example, installing a large ventilation fan, and a screen to block heat radiation from the furnace. There is also a project to drink cool herbal water that helps reduce body heat for employees during the summer.
