It outlines the duties and responsibilities of employers, employees, manufacturers, and suppliers to ensure a safe and healthy workplace.\n\nIts core principle is to prevent risks and hazards at work, and protect the workers against them whilst carrying out activities at work.\n\nActivities at work include the following hazards:\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Physical hazards: noise, extreme temperatures, radiation;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Biological hazards: mould, insects, pests, communicable diseases;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Chemical and dust hazards: asbestos, dust, fumes;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Ergonomic hazards: repetition of tasks, heavy lifting, awkward postures;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Psychosocial hazards: stress, burnout, discrimination, harassment; and<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Safety hazards: use of faulty equipment, environments that could cause slips, trips, and falls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<em><strong>Read more:<\/strong> <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/workplace-health-and-safety\/\"><em>The basics of Malaysian workplace health and safety<\/em><\/a>\n<h2 id=\"responsibility-of-the-employer-and-employee\">Responsibility of the employer and employee<\/h2>\nUnder the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994, it is the employer&#8217;s responsibility to ensure employees are working in a safe and secure environment. Employers should:\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as safety helmets, gloves, protective goggles, high-visibility clothing, safety footwear, harnesses, and respiratory protection equipment, to prevent catastrophic injuries or death.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Conduct risk assessments to identify hazards and implement effective risk control measures.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Ensure operations, handling, storage and transport of any machine, equipment, plant, article or substance is done with adequate safety measures.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Provide sufficient training, instructions, vital information, and supervision where necessary.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Develop and implement processes for dealing with emergencies.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Formulate a safety and health policy and make the necessary arrangements to carry out that policy, revising it when necessary and sharing it with all employees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWhilst the onus is on the employer to provide a safe working environment, employees have to play their part too \u2014 they should:\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Be aware of all the safety procedures while working.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Remain alert, wear and use any protective clothing or equipment provided at all times.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Cooperate with managers and colleagues in the discharge of any duty.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Comply with all instructions or measures on occupational safety and health.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Not interfere with or misuse things intentionally, recklessly or negligently.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Report all diseases, accidents or dangerous situations to higher management for proper investigation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"occupational-safety-and-health-amendment-act-2022\">Occupational Safety and Health (Amendment) Act 2022<\/h2>\nThe Occupational Safety and Health (Amendment) Bill 2020 (OSH Bill) was passed by the House of Representatives in October 2021, bringing about significant amendments to the existing Occupational Safety and Health Act (1994).\n\nNew sections were introduced, certain sections were amended, and certain sections were deleted from the principal Act, aimed at providing a higher standard of safety, health and welfare to workers. It also offers greater protection to employees and places a higher degree of accountability on employers.\n\nThe previous legislations were primarily the Occupational Safety and Health Act (1994) as well as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dosh.gov.my\/index.php\/list-of-documents\/acts\/26-03-factories-and-machinery-act-1967-revised-1974-acts-139\/file\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Factories and Machinery Act (1967)<\/a>. However, in line with new challenges and new occupations arising from industrialisation, they needed to be updated.\n\nAfter many years of debate, the <a href=\"https:\/\/lom.agc.gov.my\/act-view.php?type=amendment&amp;lang=BI&amp;act=A1648\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Occupational Safety and Health (Amendment) Act 2022<\/a> and the Factories and Machinery (Repeal) Act 2022 were gazetted on 16th March 2022. This means that the OSHA and the FMA provisions are now consolidated into one comprehensive health and safety legislation, which all industries can adhere to.\n\nIt will come into effect in nearly all places of work throughout Malaysia (except shipping merchants, within armed forces and in domestic employment settings), on a date soon to be determined.\n\n<strong><em>Read more: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/occupational-safety-and-health-amendment-act\/\"><em>Malaysia\u2019s Occupational Safety and Health (Amendment) Act explained<\/em><\/a>\n<h2 id=\"safety-and-health-officers\">Safety and health officers<\/h2>\nUnder section 29(3) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994, safety and health officers (SHO) shall be employed exclusively for the purpose to ensure due observance of OSHA at the place of work.\n\nThe general duties of an SHO are to ensure compliance and to promote a safe conduct of work.

In Malaysia, the use of PPE is regulated under the Factories and Machinery Act 1967, Occupational Health and Safety Act 1994 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dosh.gov.my\/index.php\/list-of-documents\/osh-info\/industrial-hygiene-ergonomic\/flow-chart\/3468-legislation-on-ppe\/file\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">and more<\/a>.\n\nThere are 7 types of PPE prescribed by the regulations, that require approval from the Chief Inspector of Factories and Machinery and the Director General of Department of Occupational Safety and Health, which includes:\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Head protection;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Foot protection;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Hearing protection;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Eye protection (chemical hazard);<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Hands protection (chemical hazard);<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Body protection (safety harness, life lines and all devices for the attachment of life lines)\/(chemical hazard); and<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Respiratory protection(chemical hazard).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nEmployers are required to ensure that the PPE provided is appropriate for the specific hazards present in the workplace, and that it fits properly and is maintained in good condition. They must also ensure that all PPE used in workplaces have DOSH-SIRIM certification marks.\n\nWhen the <a href=\"https:\/\/lom.agc.gov.my\/act-view.php?type=amendment&amp;lang=BI&amp;act=A1648\"

Master Plan 2021-2025 (OSHMP25)<\/a> was launched by former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob in October 2021, outlining seven key strategies to drive the formation of an inclusive, safe and healthy work culture, as well as help increase the Malaysian Well-Being Index (MyWI).\n\nThe seven key strategies outlined were:\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Empowering OSH in the public sector;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Strengthening self-regulation practice at the workplace;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Promoting OSH education and research;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Empowering occupational health;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Improving OSH compliance in small and medium enterprises (SMEs);<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Boosting OSH through technology; and<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Improving OSH for work related to road safety, informal sectors and future jobs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe shift towards a new normal because of the pandemic \u2014 such as working from home, an increased use of digital technology, and a competitive global environment has necessitated and shaped the key strategies of this plan, as Malaysians struggle to adapt to a new way of working.\n\nWith a primary objective of decreasing workplace fatality and accident rates, the theme for OSHMP25 is \u2018OSH Inclusive-Togetherness and Commitment\u2019, in hopes that implementation of this master plan will strengthen the commitment of all stakeholders: the government, employers, and employees in cultivating occupational safety and health practices.\n\nYou can read and download
