Beware the long arm of revised OSHA


DESPITE the enforcement of the amended Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (Act 514) since June 1, 2024, many companies, NGOs, volunteer organisations and religious institutions remain unaware of their obligations under this law.

The amended OSHA requires all workplaces with five or more employees to have a designated occupational safety and health coordinator (OSH-C) who must have undergone the mandatory three-day training programme.
