Some small businesses say they’re unaware of Osha


PETALING JAYA: Some small businesses are claiming that they were unaware of the amended Occupational Safety and Health Act (Osha) until the recent announcement of its impending enforcement in June.

Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) president Datuk Dr Syed Hussain Syed Husman said that although the amended Act was already gazetted in 2022, a general lack of awareness has resulted in small businesses being caught unawares.
