Invisible issues in safety at work

AFTER reading the report “DOSH wraps up checks, building sites to face action” (Sunday Star, March 31), I would like to share my current working experience in a construction site.

I believe site safety officers are licensed by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) to ensure safety and occupational health at construction sites. But I regret to say that they emphasise more on visible “physical” safety features and practices compared to occupational health.
