The law, in its own words

A person shall not be involved or engaged or undertake to be involved or engaged as a construction personnel unless he is registered with the Lembaga and holds a valid certificate of registration issued by the Lembaga under this Act.

— Section 33(1), Lembaga Pembangunan Industri Pembinaan Malaysia Act 1994 [Act 520]

A person who contravenes subsection (1) shall be guilty of an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to a fine not exceeding five thousand ringgit.

— Section 33(4), Act 520

No construction site supervisor or skilled construction worker shall be involved or engaged, or undertake to be involved or engaged as a construction site supervisor or skilled construction worker unless he is accredited and certified by the Lembaga and holds a valid certificate issued by the Lembaga under this Act.

— Section 33A(1), Act 520

An employer whose place of work is not included in any class or description of place of work as published in the Gazette under subsection 29(1) shall appoint one of his employees to act as an occupational safety and health coordinator if he employs five or more employees at his place of work.

— Section 29A(1), OSH Act 1994 [Act 514], inserted by Act A1648

Statutory text reproduced verbatim from the Lembaga Pembangunan Industri Pembinaan Malaysia Act 1994 [Act 520] (as at 1 October 2015) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 [Act 514] as amended by the OSH (Amendment) Act 2022 [Act A1648]. We train against these provisions; we do not paraphrase them.

The boom is here — and it's regulated

Johor has attracted more than 50 data centers in two years, with dozens more under review and the state's Phase 1 strategy running to 2027. Every one of those builds — the civil works, the M&E fit-out, the generators, the chillers — is a construction site first. And every construction site in Malaysia is bound by the same statutory safety chain: Green Card induction, risk assessment, and certified supervision.

Data center work is different from a typical build. It concentrates high-risk activity in one place: live electrical infrastructure, working at height on cable trays and roof decks, confined-space entry into vaults and raised-floor voids, and strict fire-suppression systems. That is exactly the profile Naja Safety trains for.

What your data center site must field

CIDB Green Card (SICW)

Every person on site — worker, supervisor, engineer, project manager — must hold a valid Green Card under Act 520 s.33. We run SICW as a CIDB-accredited centre (PLSICW20231022-068), on your site.

Working at Height (WAH)

Cable trays, roof decks, mezzanines. Fall-arrest systems, harness anchorage and MEWP operation. Delivered on site.

Confined Space Entry

Cable vaults, raised-floor voids, tank rooms. We arrange Authorised Gas Tester & Entry Supervisor (AGTES) and standby persons for your confined-space work.

Electrical Safety & LOTO

Lock-out/tag-out and permit-to-work under the Electricity Regulations 1994 (Reg 111–112). Awareness and safe-work training for crews working near live switchgear and UPS.

HIRARC Risk Assessment

Mandatory under the OSH (Amendment) Act 2022 (s.18B). We run structured HIRARC workshops mapped to your actual data center site hazards.

Emergency Response & Fire

Data centers carry strict fire-suppression systems (gas suppression, FM-200). ERT formation, fire-fighting and evacuation drills for your build and fit-out phases.

Note on OSH Coordinator: employers of five or more workers must appoint an OSH Coordinator under s.29A of the OSH (Amendment) Act 2022. The OSH Coordinator course is delivered only by DOSH-approved training providers — Naja advises on the appointment requirement and coordinates the training, but does not deliver it.

Certified manpower, supplied

Beyond training, a fast-track data center build runs ahead of its own safety headcount. Naja arranges the certified people your project is legally required to field — on contract, at your site.

Safety & Health Officer (SHO)

A registered Safety and Health Officer for your project. Send the site, dates and headcount; Naja confirms who is available.

Safety Officer & SSS supply →

Site Safety Supervisor (SSS)

A Site Safety Supervisor for daily site supervision and compliance under the OSH (Construction Work) (Design & Management) Regulations 2024.

Site Safety Supervisor →

Confined-Space AGT & Standby Person

Authorised Gas Tester and standby persons for confined-space entry during plant and utility fit-out.

Confined-space personnel →

How we plug the gap

Step 01

Site Assessment

We map your build phase against the statutory safety chain — Green Card coverage, WAH, confined space, electrical LOTO and HIRARC — and identify the gaps.

Step 02

Batch Training On Site

We deliver Green Card (SICW), WAH, Confined Space, Electrical Safety and HIRARC on your site, around your build schedule, minimising downtime.

Step 03

Certified Manpower Placement

Where headcount can't keep pace with the build, we place a registered SHO or SSS on your project.

Step 04

Compliance & Renewal Tracking

We maintain a renewal calendar for Green Cards and certifications, and support your HRD Corp e-TRiS claims end to end.

Frequently Asked Questions

What safety training is mandatory on a data center construction site?
Every person on site needs a CIDB Green Card (SICW) under Act 520. High-risk work adds Working at Height, Confined Space entry, and electrical lockout-tagout (LOTO) under the Electricity Regulations 1994. A HIRARC risk assessment is mandatory under the OSH (Amendment) Act 2022, and employers of five or more workers must appoint an OSH Coordinator.
Can Naja Safety supply a Safety and Health Officer (SHO) or Site Safety Supervisor (SSS) for my data center project?
Yes. We arrange a registered Safety and Health Officer (SHO) or Site Safety Supervisor (SSS) for your project. Send the site, dates and headcount; Naja confirms who is available.
Can you deliver training on our data center site?
Yes. We deliver Green Card (SICW), Working at Height, Confined Space awareness, Electrical Safety and HIRARC training directly on your site across Johor — Sedenak, Kulai, Senai, Iskandar Puteri, Pasir Gudang and nationwide.
Is data center safety training HRD Corp claimable?
Naja Safety is an HRD Corp registered training provider (listed as NAJA SAFETY in HRD Corp's e-TRiS training-provider directory). Programmes are HRD Corp Claimable — subject to your own HRD Corp registration status and the programme submitted. We confirm before you commit and assist with e-TRiS documentation.
