3.05 The OSH Standards
Standards generally outline acceptable minimum requirements in a system or engineered manufacture. Standards can cover such areas as construction, quality and performance (including endurance, strength and wear-and- tear) and tolerances. Though we may exceed the expectations of any prescribed Standards, we must not deliver anything less.
Standards apply to many parts of a business operation, and include fire and pressure vessel standards, personal protective equipment minimum requirements, plumbing and electrical requirements and so forth.
A standard highly recommended for reference is the Malaysia Standard for Occupational Safety and Health Management System.
Standards are available from Standards Malaysia, and incur a fee. Apply to Standards Malaysia, Century Square, Level 1 & 2, Block 2300, Jalan Usahawan,63000 Cyberjaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan, MALAYSIA (Phone: +603-8318 0002).
