0 Introduction
Safety and health are among the top concerns people have. These are some
of the factors that keep us striving for success. There are many concerns
among people when it comes to health and safety. In general, we want to
encourage others to drive safely and make healthy choices throughout their
lives. Usually, we think about our daily activities, traveling, staying active, and
so on. Our workplaces give little thought to the safety and health of our daily
lives. There are many different workplace accidents, life-altering injuries, and
even deaths. Incidents range from asbestos to building collapses. These
things should not be taken lightly. OSHA was founded to minimize these
incidents and injuries.
1|BRS20103
"OSHA" has been growing for over 50 years. They have a larger
workforce these days and unemployment is at an all-time low. With a larger
workforce and more workers, OSHA needs to increase its inspections and
rules and regulations. "OSHA" has a whopping 7 million workplaces under its
jurisdiction and has six different priorities when it comes to inspection. "1.
Imminent Dangerous Situations: These are workplace issues that can result
in death or serious physical or mental harm. Those are top priorities. 2.
Seriou’s injury or illness: A work-related fatality must be reported to him within
eight hours of the accident. All other related injuries are allowed within 24
hours from the time he was injured. 3. Worker Complaints: If there are
allegations of danger or violations, they will be treated with high priority and
employees may request that allegations be submitted anonymously. 4.
Recommendations: Inspection for hazards from other locations is permitted.
Five. Targeted testing:
Priority is given to these inspections if they cover high-risk industries with high
rates of injury and illness. 6. Follow-up checks: Check for defects and
changes in hazards in the workplace. "(U.S. Department of Labour) OSHA he
falls into four main categories. General industry, construction, shipping,
agriculture. “Of the 4,779 private industrial worker deaths in calendar year
2018, 1,008 or 21.1% were during construction, meaning one in five workers
died during construction last year. Falls, collisions with objects, electrocution
and entrapment are the leading causes of death (excluding traffic accidents)
for private sector workers in the construction industry.” (U.S. Department of
Justice) These four categories are: He emphasized OSHA's jurisdiction.
General industries are jurisdictions other than agriculture, marine, and
construction. "Slips, trips and falls on slippery floors Back and arm strain from
lifting heavy trays and boxes Burns from hot dishes and utensils Cuts during
cooking."
The Occupational Safety and Health Act is a law passed by the US Congress
in 1970 to ensure safe working conditions nationwide. We also established
the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to set and
enforce workplace health and safety standards. Signed into law by President
Richard Nixon in December 1970, the Occupational Safety and Health Act
(commonly called the Occupational Safety and Health Act) was enacted to
2|BRS20103
provide safe working conditions by permitting standard labour practices.
Congress has found that workplace injuries and illnesses contribute to lower
output and wages, higher medical costs and disability benefits. This law aims
to ensure that workers are protected from hazards that may affect their safety
and health, such as: B. Exposure to toxic chemicals, harmful noise, heat
stress, and unsanitary conditions.

2.0 Problem Statement
Malaysia's health and safety policies are very thorough and are regularly reinforced
with rigorous safety inspections and DOSH audits, but accidents on the factory floor
remain a concern. Establishing a workplace health and safety program is one of the
best ways to secure your most valuable asset: your employees. Health and safety
programs encourage a proactive approach to 'find and eliminate' workplace hazards
before they cause harm or illness. Instead of reacting to events, management and
employees work together to identify and resolve problems before they occur.

What is the health and safety management process at construction sites?
What are the issues faced by the construction companies?
How does it all affect the labourers‟ job performance?

3.0 Research Objectives
The target of this research is to maintain the outputs of the products, so the
production line won’t be affected by the problems that have been caused by the
company itself. The DOSH has been initiated to oversee the workers’ thinking,
groundworks and conveyance of the company’s services quality towards health,
safety, and environment. But this is not the major case here. The specific aims of
why this report is written are:

6.0 Conclusion or Summary of Chapter
A hazard is any cause of potential harm, harm, or adverse health effect to something
or someone, and a risk is the likelihood or likelihood that a person will be harmed or
adversely affected if exposed to the hazard. is. [8] A hazard is something that can
cause harm or adverse effects. B. For individuals as health effects, and for the
environment and organizations as damage to property and equipment. There is a six-
step risk assessment process that can be implemented with minimal guidance and
understanding. That is, identifying the hazard, identifying the risks associated with it,
hooding, assessing the risk, including severity levels, and assigning priorities for
remediation. Next is risk management. This includes removal, building barriers,
administrative controls, and personal protective equipment. In addition, process
documentation and process monitoring and checking.

database should be constructed in a structure that allows for full-spectrum exposure
to specific professional and industry conferences and links to collections of
information on population well-being. The database should be changed and updated
on a regular basis. The effects of these and different exposures on the direction of
proper maturation during life expectancy have not been studied. Thus, there are few
studies on how later-life exposure affects age-related processes that are currently
altered by a series of earlier word-associated exposures. These issues at and are
expected of employees who are explicitly exposed in their work environment.
Additional aspects that need research include how these combined and age-related
exposures affect physical, mental, and social functioning later in life, as well as more
important factors such as growth and development. Includes disease outbreaks and
characteristic histories that cause well-established major human disorders.
Osteoarthritis. Emphasizing the impact of workplace exposures on psychological
well-being and performance is particularly useful for those with social anxiety in their
work environment and those identified as having altered job demands and relevance.
is even more necessary for
These efforts are important because the only way to eliminate workplace
injuries, illnesses and deaths is to stay on this path of continuous improvement. The
release of this report marks an important milestone in our journey of change and
improvement. This is not the end of the process of improving mine health and safety.
There is much to be done. Health and safety are not static issues, they are constantly
changing as work and technology evolve. Only through partnership can we continue
to improve health and safety outcomes.
