ISSUES AND CHALLENGES IN IMPLEMENTING OSH IN MALAYSIA

1. Poor awareness
implementing OSH
in SME.

- The major obstacle is OSH laws
is not covered SME in totally.
But DOSH has put efforts onovercoming such issues bydeveloping of guidelines, conduct
programs and campaigning of inSMEs.
-DOSH also expand their internal
structure to present special
division to accommodate
necessary info related to SME.
-The aim task to create OSH
awareness and commitment
among employer / owner of SME.

2. Occupational accident inconstruction site highest
number of fatality.

- Government also introduce
Strategic Plan on construction
Industry also conduct the researchwith University Technology Malaysia(UTM) to study the framework on
OSH of construction phases.
-This research focusing on future
direction of OSH in construction
work. Involving OSH in design stage,
pre-const also post-const.
-This research also develop module
for client (developer), designer(architect), principal contractor also
contractor.

GOOD PRACTICE
After DOSH conduct some study
with 154 workshop with SME and2,610 inspection as summarize
the obstacles to implement OSH
in SME are:Lack of knowledge on OSH

No person is appointed to
manage OSH
Poor commitment from
employer / owner
Dilemma commitment and profit

In Malaysia, we had introduced an Occupational
Safety and Health – Coordinator (OSH-C). OSH-C
train person in SME sector in 2017 and voluntarybasis.

The gap analysis of audit session using thegrading system (A, B, C, D and E), and DOSH will
be focusing on lower grade of scale which arefrom grade E, D and C to grade B and A.

As conclusion, DOSH is emphases to introduce
OSH-C in SME sector. Since 2017, almost 835
OSH-C appointed by employer / owner of SME.
There is on-going process to inculcate OSH inSME sector in order to reduce occupational
accident and occupational diseases in Malaysia.
