METHOD: FIGHT COVID-19

During the unprecedented COVID-19 situation, we are taking steps to protect the health of our team members & customers and reduce the need for people to come into our office. As a result, there may be some temporary limitations and delays in support as we prioritize critical services.

Our current focus is on the quality and reliability of the information on our products and services for those in need. We want to ensure users have access to information like whether our laboratory and safety products can help essential businesses that still operating during this pandemic.

Front liners and essential businesses are still operating to ensure economic, social structure of our country is still operational and safe for everyone. Some of the essential businesses are manufacturers, suppliers in factories and workplaces i.e. food supply, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, water, electricity etc and laboratories i.e. hospitals, universities, researchers testing the drugs and devices to help we fight Covid-19. These businesses and their people keep going to fulfil the demand during these tough times.

Now it is more important than ever to ensure their safety in the workplace, if anything unfortunate might happen. We manufacture and supply emergency shower, emergency eyewash, chemical storage cabinet, spill containment, fume extraction system, laboratory fittings and laboratory sinks. Our product ranges consist of materials that are made with safety in mind. After all, we want to ensure the users and their working environment are safe.

We hope everyone stay safe and stay healthy during this Covid-19 pandemic. We are always available if you have any questions, you can visit our website at https://www.method.com.my/

*NOTE: Please notify us if you are working directly with front liners against Covid-19, we are more than happy to help in any way we can.

We had a special Chinese New Year team lunch at Bei Ping Restaurant in Shah Alam on 22 January 2020. People from each department in METHOD – sales, marketing, admin, production, HR and also representative from HYCHEM were there for the event. We would like to thank everyone especially the management team for organizing this wonderful event.  Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous New Year! Gong Xi Fa Cai!

On 17th December 2019, METHOD had the opportunity to visit the Yayasan Chow Kit (YCK) at their Pusat Aktiviti Kanak Kanak Chow Kit. The program was held after discussions with the management of YCK and our team – to understand what YCK really needs at the moment so we can help wherever we can. In total, there were 9 representatives from METHOD – including our directors Mr Ng Chee Ing and Mrs Liew Mian Ping – in attendance to spend time with the bright kids and wonderful staff from YCK.

Yayasan Chow Kit is a 24-hour crisis and drop-in centre providing meals, activities, therapy, case management, ​and educational programmes for at-risk children of Chow Kit. We decided to choose YCK for this program after learning about various services that they provide for at-risk kids, youth, and family. By helping YCK, we hope that we can reach straight to the people in need in the urban area.

The program started with a meeting with the YCK team. YCK’s CEO, Ananti Rajasingam, and her team members were there to explain what YCK did in the past and what YCK is currently doing to help at-risk families in urban KL. Their focus on education, health & financial empowerment for at-risk families in urban KL and also their willingness to help in wide ranges of services – i.e. documentation & legal are very inspiring and we believe it can directly help those in need to survive. After that, we had KFC meals with the kids – courtesy of our General Manager Mr Ng Kah Wui. We played some games and spent time talking with the kids and the staff in YCK for the rest of the afternoon.

All in all, we are glad to be able to meet the kids in the YCK and learn more about their lives. We hope with the time & resources that we are able to share, we can make the kids feel safe and loved because they sure have inspired us with their cheerful positive hardworking attitude throughout the program.

As a manufacturer of emergency eyewash and shower, we have helped a lot of businesses to raise the safety level of their respective workplaces. Our emergency fixtures have been featured in more than 40 countries around the world for the past 20 years. With the level of experience that we have, we would like to share what you need to do and what you need to avoid to ensure the emergency eyewash and shower can be used effectively and safely in case there is an accident on your workplace.

DO’s

1. Ensure that the equipment be used for the purpose for which they are intended for. They only serve to supplement first-aid treatment.
2. Ensure that all employees know the purpose of the emergency equipment. Employees exposed to or working in hazardous areas must be aware of the locations of the equipment and properly trained on the use of the equipment.
3. Emergency equipment should be installed as close as possible to hazardous workplaces and clearly identified as eyewash or drench shower fixtures. The path to the equipment should be free from obstructions.
4. One of the most important consideration when installing emergency equipment is to ensure that sufficient supply of water is readily available to the equipment at all times.
5. Ensure that the piping should not be smaller than the inlet of the equipment and have a minimum of 30psi (2 bar) of flow pressure. The ideal flow pressure at all times should be between 30 to 45psi (2 to 3 bar).
6. Only products that meet the American National Standards Institute (ANSI Z358.1) / Australian Standard (AS4775) for Emergency Eyewash and Shower Equipment should be installed.

DONT’s

1. Do not discontinue the use of protective devices like eye and face protectors and protective clothing. The installation of emergency equipment should not be seen as a substitute for these protective devices.
2. Do not use the emergency eyewash unit if it is known that eye injury is due to metal or some other solid fragment. Medical attention must be sought immediately.
3. Do not alter the dimensions or heights of the equipment as the recommended height complies to ANSI/AS requirements.
4. Do not depend on sink faucets as a replacement of emergency shower or eyewash.
