It’s amazing that how often, we tends to learn an extra miles of knowledge through our daily conversation. I had a chat with Uncle Eddie, a friend of my working in private colleges. He is 57 years old, and working as maintenance in that particular college under contract. I got to learn that his contract is ending and company does not want to continue his contract due to the cost cutting periods now.
He is very frustrated, since he has been working for so long. “My performance has never disappointed anyone. Now that they blame maintenance for extra cost! For god sake, we only have two maintenance workers here, to take care of the whole college!” said Uncle Eddie.
As far as I concern, Uncle Eddie is an experience charge man with many year of experience. Many companies had tried to source for his service, but he turned all down due to the contract term. However, what did not please him is, he was blamed for doing nothing!
“You must know, my responsibility is to take care of all facilities in college, and to make sure it functions properly. Meanwhile, you job as a Manager is to ensure we do our part and all facilities are within satisfaction,” said Uncle Eddie. “He blame us for doing nothing, and treat us as extra cost to company, but did he realize that the facilities are properly maintain?” asked Uncle Eddie.
Later, Uncle Eddie started to relate his experience as a charge man. He said, “Every building is made compulsory to have at least one charge man to look after the electricity supply. And the charge man must own a certificate from Tenaga National Berhad (TNB). A building without charger man is illegal, and TNB has the right to cut your supply!”
“What is the responsibility of a charge man, and why is it so important?” I asked. “Charge man is the designated maintenance person, need to regularly look after the supply of electricity and the facilities. He must ensure that the wire dos not lose, and he must have knowledge about electric circuit. For example, if you were asked by your management about the horse power needed for a generator set to supply a 10th floors building. You can not simply give a figure, because it will harm the whole company operation if the generator set can not meet the power consumption of your company,” said Uncle Eddie.
“The major area of concern for a charge man is that, to ensure the power circuit is properly maintained. If your company is on-fire, the authority will first interrogate the charge man, to find out if it is due to the loosen wire that spark off the fire. If it is so, then the insurance company will not cover the mishap,” he added.
