AS a further step towards improving occupational safety and health standards, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) calls on the respective industries to embark on an OSH transformation programme and make it an essential investment.
The concept of investment in safety and health not only involves training to understand safety procedures, the know-how to identify hazard, assess and control risks emanating from work, but it also takes into consideration the total health promotion programme and workplace wellness to secure the health and well-being of the employees.
