" YOUR SAFETY, YOUR HEALTH -
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY"
We have a choice : To be or not to be Safe

*
The reasons for establishing good
occupational safety and health standards are
frequently identified as:

*
- the absence of risk to injury.
- a state of complete physical, mental and social
well-being and not merely the absence of disease.
- provision of first aid, drinking
water, canteen, washing facilities and toilets for men and
women.
*
a person who is employed for wages under a
contract of service on or in connection with the work of an
industry.
In Malaysia apprentices are to be considered as employees
but trainee is not considered as employee. Trainee can be
considered as other persons at the work place.
- the immediate employer or the principal employer
or both.
- a person who has the management or control of
the place of work
- premises where persons work or premises
used for the storage of plant or substance
