THE recent publication of the Garis Panduan Industri Robotik (Guidelines for Work in the Robotics Industry) 2025 by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) marks a proactive commitment by the government to manage workplace risks, especially the complex interaction between humans and advanced robotic systems.
The industrial landscape is shifting from conventional robots to autonomous and intelligent systems. Historically, robotics safety relied on physical isolation, where machines were confined within safety guards. Today, modern productivity requires humans and robots to share workspaces.
