Bosses seek ‘Off’ switch

PETALING JAYA: Following the implementation of the amendments to the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), employers suggest establishing a Stop Work Policy to ensure only competent personnel perform tasks as stipulated in relevant schedules.

The policy, proposed by Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) president Datuk Dr Syed Hussain Syed Husman, aims to empower employees to cease work in the face of imminent danger, while also incorporating specific procedural steps to verify the legitimacy of their claims.
