What Is OSH Coordinator Training?
Occupational safety and health is an important responsibility for organisations of all sizes in Malaysia. Employers need effective workplace arrangements to identify hazards, manage occupational safety and health risks, prevent accidents and occupational diseases, and promote a positive safety culture among employees.
The OSH Coordinator plays an important role in supporting and coordinating occupational safety and health activities at the workplace. The role is particularly relevant to workplaces that are not required to appoint a Safety and Health Officer (SHO) but are subject to the applicable requirements for appointment of an Occupational Safety and Health Coordinator under Malaysian OSH legislation.
The introduction of the OSH Coordinator requirement strengthens workplace self-regulation by enabling organisations to have a trained person who can assist in coordinating safety and health matters. Through proper training, an OSH Coordinator can support employers in hazard identification, risk assessment, OSH documentation, workplace safety activities and the development of a stronger safety and health culture.
MySHEQA provides OSH Coordinator Training in Malaysia through a structured 3-day programme delivered in accordance with the applicable training requirements.
