Overview

The Occupational Safety and Health (Amendment) Act 2022 (Act A1648), enacted on June 1, 2024, introduces significant changes to occupational safety legislation in Malaysia. This new act integrates the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (OSHA) with the now-repealed Factories and Machinery Act 1967 (FMA), creating a more comprehensive and streamlined framework for safety and health across all industries. 

This presentation will overview the key provisions of the new Occupational Safety And Health Regulations (Construction Work) (Design And Management) 2024. Participants will learn about duty-holder responsibilities and the importance of incorporating safety and health considerations. Proactively addressing safety risks is more effective than waiting for hazards to arise.
