In the past, many Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia operated under the impression that Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) regulations only applied to heavy industries like construction or manufacturing. However, with the enforcement of the Occupational Safety and Health (Amendment) Act 2022, the legal landscape has shifted significantly.
Now, almost all places of work in Malaysia are governed by these safety standards. One of the most critical requirements for smaller firms is the appointment of a trained Occupational Safety and Health Coordinator (OSH-C).
As a premier HRD Corp Registered Training Provider, AYJ Consultancy Sdn Bhd is here to ensure your business stays compliant while fostering a culture of safety.
Does Your Business Need an OSH-C?
Under the new regulations, any employer with five or more employees is required to appoint an OSH-Coordinator. This individual acts as the "safety eyes and ears" of the company, ensuring that the workplace remains hazard-free and that the employer fulfills their legal duties.
Failing to comply doesn't just risk the safety of your staff—it opens your business to:
Severe Penalties: Significant increases in fines for non-compliance under the amended Act.
Legal Liability: Personal liability for directors and managers if negligence is proven.
Operational Downtime: Accidents lead to investigations, stop-work orders, and lost productivity.
The Role of an OSH-Coordinator
An OSH-C isn't just a paper appointment. Their role is vital to the daily operations of a modern Malaysian business:
Hazard Identification: Spotting potential risks before they lead to accidents.
Risk Assessment: Implementing the HIRARC (Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control) framework.
Documentation: Maintaining the safety records required by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH/JKKP).
Liaison: Serving as the point of contact between the employer and safety authorities.
