OSHMS VS Legal Requirements in MalaysiaOSHMS VS Legal Requirements in Malaysia
OSHA 94 requirements include elements of OSH MS such as safety policy, organisation, and training, but as it is worded in legal terms, it does not provide for the step by step approach to form a complete Management System
Thus, in order for the companies to comply with the law, there is a need for a structured format such as provided by OSH MS for implementation
In general, the development of OSH programs and activities are very much driven by legal requirements (the Act, Regulations or Code of Practice) – Program Approach
14
OSHMS VS Legal Requirements in MalaysiaOSHMS VS Legal Requirements in Malaysia
However, large companies already implement some form of OSH MS, e.g. PSMS in the oil and gas industries, but here, it is specific to the nature of the industry.
In other words, most of the industries are still dependant on government or regulators in managing their safety and health
The OSH-MS assists industries to manage safety and health at the workplace based on the system approach (Plan-Do-Check-Act concept) with the OSH legal requirements forming the framework of the OSH-MS
15
OSHMS VS Legal Requirements in MalaysiaOSHMS VS Legal Requirements in Malaysia
The systematic OSH approach for continual improvement with the commitment and leadership of top management and active participation of employees provide the basis for ‘self-regulation’ embraced by the OSH Act 1994
There is an increasing demand from developed countries to incorporate safety and health as part of business/trade requirements

System Approach –
OSHMS
System approach is holistic in the sense that it helps to identify all relevant input and
requirements, and then creates a framework of procedures to ensure that compliance is
comprehensive and consistently achieved.

National Construction Safety Masterplan
Provide a comprehensive framework for to enhance safety and health at the construction site
This plan was developed based on tripartite involvement
One of the thrust of the framework is for the construction industry to implement OSH MS system at the workplace with emphasis on DIY approach.
Companies that has successfully implemented the OSH MS will be given recognition, and given priority in securing government projects for the start.

Voluntary Initiatives in Promoting OSH MS

NGOs e.g. MSOSH, CICM, MTUC, MEF creating awareness for OSH MS implementation

There is high resistance to the effort to introduce OSH MS due to the perception of OSH MS being completely new and untested.
Difficulty in developing the system.Difficulty in educating/securing personnel to start the system.Inability to secure a budget.High costs, such as for training.
Few examples/information about companies already implementing the system.Not knowing the proper approach on how to introduce the system.Need for guidelines that small and medium sized companies can use.Few training courses on systemimplementation/operation available.
Current management system is deemed sufficiently effective.Top management lack intention to introduce the system.Top management not convinced whether OSH MS will be effective.
