Air Selangor provides COVID-19 tests for frontline employees

Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) announced today that all their frontline employees will be tested regularly for COVID-19, as part of the efforts to maintain the safety and health of both the employees and customers. Air Selangor is partnering with Pusat Perubatan University Malaya (PPUM) to conduct the testing, which began today and will be carried out as and when required.

Air Selangor’s Chief Executive Officer, Suhaimi Kamaralzaman led the first batch of employees that underwent the COVID-19 testing this morning, with a total of 96 employees from the Customer Relationship Department across Air Selangor’s Regional Offices. These tests were conducted at Air Selangor’s Head Office over two sessions to ensure that the necessary standard operating procedures were met.

The Air Selangor frontline employees for the COVID-19 tests included those who are involved in servicing customers, meter reading, security and other selected positions that require them to perform tasks within close physical proximity to customers and the public. Approximately 900 staff have been identified across Air Selangor’s Regional Offices to undergo these tests.

This initiative comes on the back of the government’s implementation of the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) that started on 10 June 2020, which will likely increase engagements between the public and Air Selangor employees.

Air Selangor also formed a special task force under the Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Section on 12 March 2020, to assist Air Selangor employees in providing the latest information, answering queries on COVID-19 and carrying out disinfection procedures at all Air Selangor premises. This initiative highlights Air Selangor’s proactive stance on dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Air Selangor has been committed to supporting the government's plans to curb the spread of COVID-19 infection. As one of the national essential service providers, Air Selangor plays a role in ensuring compliance for the rules and regulations, to protect the health and safety of our employees and customers.
