Regulatory Compliance Hub
Exact statutory frameworks, government sources, and the regulatory anchors behind every Naja Safety training programme and consultancy service.
Statutory Frameworks We Train Against
We do not paraphrase the law. We cite the exact Act, Section, and Standard — then train your workforce to comply with it.

Effective 1 June 2024, the OSH (Amendment) Act 2022 repeals the old Factories and Machinery Act 1967 (FMA) and dramatically expands safety laws to all Malaysian workplaces — not just factories.
"Every employer shall, in respect of each of his workplaces, appoint one or more OSH Coordinators where five or more persons are employed at that workplace."
— Section 29A, OSH (Amendment) Act 2022 (Act 514)Key changes for employers:
- Section 29A: Mandatory OSH Coordinator for 5+ employees. Non-compliance = criminal liability for directors.
- Expanded scope: Covers offices, warehouses, retail, and all workplaces — not just factories.
- Increased penalties: Corporate fines up to RM500,000 and imprisonment for serious breaches. Directors face personal criminal liability.
- Stop-work orders: DOSH can immediately halt operations for imminent danger.
Naja Safety's role: We provide OSH compliance advisory, safety documentation support, and training programmes that help workplaces meet statutory requirements under the OSH Act.
Issued directly by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH / JKKP), these guidelines lay down explicit rules for:
- Building operations and structural engineering activities
- Public safety barriers around active construction zones
- Excavation protocols and trench stability
- Temporary structure safety and load limits
- Hazard communication to adjacent public areas
Our on-site training and consultancy programmes map directly to these guidelines — giving your site the documentation and competency credentials needed for DOSH inspections and CIDB contractor pre-qualification.
CIDB CIS 25:2018 mandates the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control (HIRARC) protocols required across all Malaysian engineering and construction sites.
The standard requires:
- Systematic hazard identification before commencement of work
- Risk ranking using quantitative severity × probability matrices
- Documented control measures following the hierarchy of controls
- Regular review and update of risk registers
- Integration with CIDB Green Card and site-safety supervisor mandates
Naja Safety's role: We deliver accredited CARA-aligned training and documentation support — from initial hazard registers to ongoing risk-control monitoring. We help you pass CIDB audits and maintain Green Card compliance without guesswork.
Multinational corporations and oil & gas firms operating in Malaysia often require dual-compliance — meeting local DOSH rules and US OSHA Title 29 standards.
OSHA 1926 covers:
- Scaffolding (Subpart L) — design, load limits, and inspection frequencies
- Fall protection (Subpart M) — guardrails, harnesses, and anchor points
- Crane and derrick operations (Subpart CC)
- Personal protective equipment (Subpart E) — selection, training, and maintenance
- Excavations (Subpart P) — protective systems and soil classification
Naja Safety's role: We integrate OSHA 1926 protocols into our training modules, giving your workforce the documentation and competency credentials needed for MNC contractor pre-qualification and international project bids.
