20+ Years Keeping Malaysian Workplaces Safe

OSH Act 1994 [Act 514], as amended by the OSH (Amendment) Act 2022 [A1648]

The cornerstone of Malaysian workplace safety law. Since 1 June 2024 the Act covers all places of work, including the public service, except domestic service, the armed forces and work on board ships (First Schedule). Key changes: the mandatory OSH Coordinator for five or more employees where no SHO is required (s.29A, fine up to RM50,000 or 6 months), increased penalties of up to RM500,000 or 2 years, or both, for any person breaching general duties (ss.15–18B, s.19), and director liability with a due-diligence defence (s.52).

CIDB Act 520 & CIS 25:2018

Construction personnel must be registered with CIDB (the Green Card), which includes completing the SICW induction course. Working as construction personnel without registration is an offence under Act 520 s.33(4), with a fine of up to RM5,000. Engaging an unaccredited site supervisor or skilled worker carries the same maximum (s.33A(5) and (6)).

USECHH 2000

Workplaces using scheduled chemicals must conduct a Chemical Health Risk Assessment (CHRA) by a DOSH-registered assessor. Naja Safety provides awareness training and documentation support to prepare your team.

Noise Exposure Regulations 2019

The OSH (Noise Exposure) Regulations 2019 [P.U.(A) 60/2019], in force 1 June 2019, replaced the 1989 regulations. Noise above 82 dB(A) is 'excessive noise' and needs a DOSH-registered Noise Risk Assessor; the exposure limit is 85 dB(A).

Every training delivery follows a written, client-reviewable standard operating procedure. No improvisation.

We photograph and date-stamp every on-site session. Clients receive a training completion report with visual proof.

All attendance, assessment, and certification records are maintained for statutory audit periods (7+ years).

Every client gets a single point of contact. No call centres. No ticket queues. Direct mobile access.

CIDB Green Card (SICW)

CIDB Act 520 requires every construction worker to hold a valid Green Card. Our CIDB-accredited SICW training programme issues the card upon successful completion and assessment.

Site Safety Supervisor (SSS)

Every principal contractor must appoint a competent Site Safety Supervisor (CDM Regulations 2024, reg 39). SSS are registered with DOSH. We help principal contractors meet reg 39: SSS appointment support, site safety documentation and refresher support. We refer candidates to DOSH-registered SSS course centres. Penalty (reg 39(2)): RM50,000 or 6 months, or both.

Chemical Health Risk Assessment (CHRA)

USECHH 2000 require a CHRA for workplaces using scheduled chemicals. Our DOSH-registered assessor conducts the evaluation and produces the mandatory report.

Noise Exposure Assessment

The OSH (Noise Exposure) Regulations 2019 set the excessive noise threshold at 82 dB(A) and the exposure limit at 85 dB(A). We conduct workplace noise mapping, audiometric testing, and hearing conservation programme design.

Scaffold Safety Awareness

Scaffold safety awareness for supervisors and users, covering tagging, inspection, and safe-use protocols aligned with DOSH guidance and CIDB standards CIS 22:2023 and CIS 23:2023.

PPE Fit Testing

On-site respirator fit testing and hearing protector fit checks. Qualitative and quantitative methods. Per-person records with recommended re-test dates. Small groups and individuals welcome.

Hearing Conservation Training

Noise awareness, hearing protector selection, fit checks, and programme record-keeping. Aligned with the OSH (Noise Exposure) Regulations 2019 [P.U.(A) 60/2019] and Noise ICOP 2019. Annual training (reg 5(2)) for employees exposed to excessive noise above 82 dB(A); audiometric testing (reg 9) for those exceeding the 85 dB(A) exposure limit (reg 6).

OSH (Amendment) Act 2022: 10 Things Every Employer Must Know

The 2022 amendments brought the mandatory OSH Coordinator for five or more employees (penalty up to RM50,000), increased penalties of up to RM500,000 or 2 years, or both, for any person breaching general duties (ss.15–18B, s.19), and director liability with a due-diligence defence (s.52). Here is what changed and what you must do now.
