Read the guideQuestions safety officers ask us
Is a noise risk assessment mandatory in Malaysia?
Yes, where employees may be exposed to noise at work. The Occupational Safety and Health (Noise Exposure) Regulations 2019 require the employer to have a noise risk assessment carried out by a DOSH-registered noise risk assessor, and to review it at intervals of not more than 5 years.
When is a CHRA required?
Before any work that may expose employees to chemicals hazardous to health. USECHH Regulations 2000 require a written assessment by a DOSH-registered CHRA assessor, reviewed under regulation 10 when the work changes significantly, when 5 years have passed, or when DOSH directs it.
Who can carry out audiometric testing for our workers?
Only a DOSH-approved audiometric testing centre, with audiograms interpreted by a registered occupational health doctor. OSHMed is not a testing centre: testing is arranged through our partner, Nova Care Sdn Bhd, an approved audiometric testing centre in Kajang.
Does a company with 5 employees need an OSH coordinator?
Act 514 as amended in 2022 (in force 1 June 2024) requires employers with 5 or more employees to appoint an OSH coordinator where no safety and health officer is employed (section 29A). The coordinator course must be attended at a DOSH-recognised training centre.
Is the Factories and Machinery Act still in force?
No. The Factories and Machinery Act 1967 was repealed by Act 835 with effect from 1 June 2024. Duties on noise, chemicals and training now come under Act 514 and its regulations.
