Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187) - Malaysia (Ratification: 2012)

The Committee welcomes the Government’s comprehensive first report.

Article 5(1) of the Convention. Formulation, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and periodical review of a national programme on occupational safety and health (OSH), in consultation with the social partners. The Committee notes the information in the Government’s report concerning the adoption and implementation of the Occupational Safety and Health Master Plan for Malaysia for 2009–15 (OSH-MP 15). It notes with interest that the OSH-MP 15 was developed on a tripartite basis and contains clear objectives and targets, with the overall aim of creating, cultivating and sustaining a safe and healthy work culture. The OSH-MP 15 is the middle stage of a series of three consecutive 5-year action plans that began in 2005, and another occupational safety and health programme is planned for 2015–20. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the measures taken, in consultation with the social partners, to review the OSH-MP 15 on the basis of the national situation and the national system for OSH, with a view to formulating the next five-year programme for 2015–20.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
