PETALING JAYA: The amended Occupational Safety and Health Act, which will be enforced from June, has spelt out clearly the employers’ duty in ensuring workers’ safety, says the Malaysian Society for Occupational Safety and Health.

For example, this is seen in Section 18B of the Act, said its honorary secretary Daman Huri Mohammad.
