LIVE · Section 29A OSH (Amendment) Act 2022

20+ Years Keeping Malaysian Workplaces Safe

Under Section 29A of the OSH (Amendment) Act 2022, any Malaysian enterprise employing 5 or more individuals must appoint an OSH Coordinator (OSH-C). Appointing your OSH Coordinator is the first step. We deliver the safety training that coordinator will need in place — HIRARC, safety committee, chemical safety, emergency response and construction induction.

Your trusted safety partner for training, consultancy & compliance. CIDB-aligned instruction. Nationwide on-site training from Johor Bahru. Delivered by an HRD Corp Accredited Trainer.

Statutory Framework

The Laws That Govern Your Workplace

We do not paraphrase the law. We train you against it. Here are the four statutes every Malaysian employer must understand.

Construction workers on a Malaysian building site
DOSH Effective 1 June 2024

OSH (Amendment) Act 2022

The cornerstone of Malaysian workplace safety law. Key changes: the mandatory OSH Coordinator for 5+ workers (Section 29A, penalty up to RM50,000), increased corporate fines of up to RM500,000 for general duty breaches, director criminal liability, and expansion to ALL workplaces — not just factories.

CIDB Act 520 & CIS 25:2018

Every construction worker must hold a valid Green Card (SICW). Contractors must appoint Site Safety Supervisors (SSS) for projects exceeding RM500,000. Non-compliance triggers project suspension.

Cost Efficiency

In-House vs Naja Safety

Most employers underestimate the true cost of in-house safety management. When you tally training preparation, documentation, regulatory liaison, and risk exposure, outsourcing to a specialist is often the smarter financial decision.

In-House (Typical)

  • Full-time safety officer salary: RM3,500–6,000/month
  • EPF, SOCSO, medical benefits: +RM1,200/month
  • Training material development: RM8,000–15,000 one-time
  • DOSH/CIDB liaison time: 2–4 days/month unpaid
  • Risk of non-compliance fines: up to RM500,000
  • No guarantee of pass rates or audit success

Estimated Annual Cost: RM72,000–120,000+

RECOMMENDED

Naja Safety

  • No recruitment, salary, or EPF costs
  • HRD Corp levy support — we confirm eligibility before you commit
  • Training materials updated for 2024 statutes
  • DOSH & CIDB liaison handled by us
  • Verified 100% course pass rate
  • Nationwide on-site delivery — no logistics burden

Typical Annual Spend: RM8,000–24,000
