The leadership and structure that ensure work is done in a consistent manner over time to include organisational strategy for the use of information, for the purpose of managing specific potential loss issues through the Deming P-D-C-A management cycle. 5 The need for a Management System To follow global trends and practices in managing any loss potential issues such as quality, environment, health & safety, security, etc. To maintain consistency on OSH practices and controlling work place hazards To take advantage of the opportunity for continual improvement initiatives To integrate several issues into a single system that includes quality, security, environment, health & safety, etc. Accident statistics has reached a plateau 6 INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS STATISTICS REPORTED TO SOCSO 1993-2002 140,000 Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Mining 120,000 Manufacturing 100,000 Electrical, gas and cleaning services construction services 80,000 Commerce 60,000 Transportation Finance & Insurance 40,000 Public Services 20,000 Other services Total 0 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 7 FATAL ACCIDENTS REPORTED TO SOCSO 1994-2002 1,400 Pertanian, Perhutanan dan Perikanan Perlombongan dan Kuari 1,200 Perkilangan 1,000 Perkhidmatan elektrik, gas, air & kebersihan Pembinaan 800 Perdangan 600 Pengangkutan 400 Institusi Kewangan & Insuran Perkhidmatan 200 Perkhidmatan Awam - Jumlah 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 8 Evolution in OSHMS Development UK Certifying Organizations In 1996, the British Standards Institution (BSI) announced BS 8800, which later became the basis of OSH MS In April 1999, the major European certifying organizations led by BSI played the central role in the formulation of OHSAS 18001 ISO Integration of OSH MS into ISO management system standards were twice considered but voted down ILO ILO announced its OSHMS guidelines in December 2001 Malaysia Malaysia has MS-OSHMS guidelines in 2003 9 Objectives of OSHMS Introduction of an OSHMS Integration of Management Establishment of a company-wide promotion system Preemptive Safety and Health Measures Elimination or reduction of potential hazards Promotion of Voluntary Responses Enforce/reinforce system and effective autonomous activities Further Decline in Industrial Accidents Elevate standard of Safety and Health 10 Characteristics of OSHMS 1.

In other words, most of the industries are still dependant on government or regulators in managing their safety and health The OSH-MS assists industries to manage safety and health at the workplace based on the system approach (Plan-Do-Check-Act concept) with the OSH legal requirements forming the framework of the OSH-MS 14 OSHMS VS Legal Requirements in Malaysia The systematic OSH approach for continual improvement with the commitment and leadership of top management and active participation of employees provide the basis for ‘self-regulation’ embraced by the OSH Act 1994 There is an increasing demand from developed countries to incorporate safety and health as part of business/trade requirements 15 OSHMS VS Legal Requirements in Malaysia OSH Program Approach e.g. machinery inspection Safety Committee CHRA Medical surveillance System Approach – OSHMS System approach is holistic in the sense that it helps to identify all relevant input and requirements, and then creates a framework of procedures to ensure that compliance is comprehensive and consistently achieved. 16 OSHMS VS Legal Requirements in Malaysia FMA 1967 OSHA 1994 Other Business Processes Quality Environment Productivity 17 OSH MS : the holistic approach • Behaviour Based safety MAN • Kiken Yochi Training • Safe design • Guarding • Chemicals • Noise OSH MS MACHINE P O P E A WORKING ENVIRONMENT (MEDIA) 18 Status of OSHMS Efforts Results from survey on 310 businesses – 2004. To date – more than 150 organisations have voluntarily established OSHMS in Malaysia according to several standards such as OHSAS 18001 and MS-1722. 7.10% Under Implementation/ Operation Under construction 14.20% 13.90% 29.70% 5.50% Construction planned Introduction under consideration No plans for introduction 30% Other 19 Requirements that Help Facilitate Introduction Incentives for workplaces that have completed introduction 29.00% Guidance and support from specialists 18.70% Outside services such as training courses 22.30% 12.30% Certification services Publication of statistics that show accident reductions, etc. 22.30% Statistical charts on the state of introductions 11.90% Provision of examples of introduction results at other companies 52.30% 20.70% Other Source : Survey 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 20 Results from OSHMS Introduction Responses from 44 companies that had completed introduction Heightened safety and health levels 79.50% Reduced dangers and hazards at workplaces 65.90% Reduced industrial accidents and near misses 22.70% Continuous and consecutive health and safety management 75.00% Increased external credibility 15.90% Easier business dealings 0.00% Improved relationship with labor union 0.00% Other 9.10% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 21 National Construction Safety Masterplan Provide a comprehensive framework for to enhance safety and health at the construction site This plan was developed based on tripartite involvement One of the thrust of the framework is for the construction industry to implement OSH MS system at the workplace with emphasis on DIY approach. Companies that has successfully implemented the OSH MS will be given recognition, and given priority in securing government projects for the start. 22 Voluntary Initiatives in Promoting OSH MS Mentor-mentee program NGOs e.g. MSOSH, CICM, MTUC, MEF creating awareness for OSH MS implementation Contractor Safety Passport System OSH in Schools 23 Critical Success Factors (CSF) VISION + URGENCY + CAPABILITY + INCENTIVE + RESOURCES + ACTION PLAN = Mission, Vision OBJECTIVES SUCCESS But Health and Safety is a Journey. You may pass some milestones, but you never arrive at a destination. 24 Obstacles in OSHMS Introduction 1. Perspective There is high resistance to the effort to introduce OSH MS due to the perception of OSH MS being completely new and untested. 2. System/Costs Difficulty in developing the system. Difficulty in educating/securing personnel to start the system. Inability to secure a budget. High costs, such as for training. 3. Method of Introduction Few examples/information about companies already implementing the system. Not knowing the proper approach on how to introduce the system. Need for guidelines that small and medium sized companies can use. Few training courses on system implementation/operation available. 4. Effects & Motivation Current management system is deemed sufficiently effective. Top management lack intention to introduce the system. Top management not convinced whether OSH MS will be effective. 25 Benefits of OSHMS 1. Prevention of industrial incidents through elimination of potential hazards. 2. Elevating the level of health and safety awareness with continual improvement in the implementation of OSHMS. 3. Effective management of health and safety through clarification of roles and responsibilities, procedures and documentation. 4. Creation of a workplace where employees can work without anxiety, with the establishment of a safer and healthier work environment. 5. Recognition by society as a company that is free of industrial incidents. 6. Reduction of unnecessary losses through reduction of industrial incidents. 26 27
