AT a time when Malaysia is emphasising industrial growth to provide more employment opportunities, greater attention must be given to safety at work and the use of the correct and good quality personal protective equipment (PPE).
While efforts are being made to improve the lives of the rakyat, let us take a moment to appreciate the backbone of our nation: our workers. Toiling throughout the day, these men and women take many risks to build a better future for all of us. As such, their safety and wellbeing are a national responsibility.
