CIDB + DOSH Critical
Harness, anchor, rescue: trained on your structure.
Also known in Malay as: kerja di tempat tinggi
Legal basis: OSH Act 1994 [Act 514] (English · Bahasa Malaysia); HIRARC Guidelines 2008 (English · Bahasa Malaysia)
Falls from height remain the leading cause of death and serious injury on Malaysian construction sites. DOSH's Guidelines for the Prevention of Falls (2007) apply to work at 2 metres or more and call for training and instruction. Dedicated work-at-height regulations are expected but not yet gazetted (CDM FAQ Q25/Q27). Until then, general duties under the OSH Act and the CDM Regulations 2024 apply. Many sites rely on generic inductions that do not address the actual fall hazards of the specific structure being built.
A single fatal fall triggers immediate CIDB and DOSH investigations, potential stop-work orders under the OSH Act 1994 [Act 514], as amended by the OSH (Amendment) Act 2022 [A1648]; for example, up to RM500,000 or 2 years for breaching general duties (s.19), and massive insurance premium increases.
Survivors of falls from height often face permanent disability. The human and financial cost to workers and their families is devastating and entirely preventable with proper training and equipment.
A worker caught by their harness can suffer brain damage or death in under 10 minutes (DOSH Falls Guidelines 2007, s.9.1). Without a rescue plan, a survivable fall becomes a fatal event. Every WAH programme must include rescue planning.
We identify all fall hazards specific to your structure — edges, openings, ladder access points, and scaffold tie-back requirements.
Classroom theory covering fall physics, harness anatomy, anchor point selection, and MEWP safe operation — followed by hands-on practical assessment.
We inspect your existing fall arrest equipment for defects, expiry dates, and compliance with MS standards. Damaged equipment is tagged and removed.
A written rescue plan specific to your site — who responds, what equipment is used, and how a suspended worker is recovered. Brain damage or death can occur in under 10 minutes (DOSH Falls Guidelines 2007, s.9.1).
Successful candidates receive certificates of attendance. We maintain a training register for inspection.
On-site WAH training and rescue planning across Malaysia — including Sabah and Sarawak.
Hands-on WAH competency training with real equipment, real anchors, and site-specific rescue plans across Malaysia.
