Greetings and Greetings from Malaysia Madani.

Protocol List

  1. Alhamdulillah, it is with great gratitude and honor that I stand here today to deliver the keynote address in conjunction with 'AGING PLANT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (APMS) AWARD CEREMONY DOSH – FGV'. This prestigious event, which was held for the first time in the state of Johor Darul Takzim, recorded important achievements towards improve occupational safety and health aspects.
  1. I would like to express my congratulations and highest appreciation to the FGV Holdings Berhad who is willing to collaborate with Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) and National Council for Occupational Safety and Health (MNKKP) in organizing Appreciation Ceremony APMS (DOSH-FGV) This collaboration is important in ensuring the smooth implementation of this program, and in setting benchmarks to achieve shared objectives.
  1. I would also like to express my congratulations and appreciation to all parties involved, especially the hosts. FGV Palm Industries Sdn Bhd, Freshwater Palm Oil Mill, Kota Tinggi, Johor for their commitment to fostering a safer and healthier workplace environment.

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen,

  1. The organization of this event is very significant because it coincides with the annual celebration of Occupational Safety and Health Week. (OSH Week), which is celebrated every year on the second week of July. 
  1. Nevertheless, the reception OSH Week This year is quite special because apart from starting as early as June, in conjunction with the enforcement date of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (Amendment) 2022, the theme OSH Week This year is also related to the AKKP (Amendment) 2022, namely OSH Landscape Revolution: Post Occupational Safety and Health (Amendment) Act 2022 and Factories and Machinery (Repeal) Act 2022. Symbolically, this awards ceremony is the Department's official ceremony to celebrate OSH Week year 2024.  
  1. This awards ceremony is an ongoing effort aimed at increasing awareness and levels of occupational safety and health in the workplace based on the concept of tripartism. 

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen,

  1. The Ministry of Human Resources (KESUMA) through the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOH), is a government agency responsible for administering, managing and enforcing laws relating to occupational safety and health in the workplace and plays an important role in maintaining the well-being of the workforce. 
  1. This huge task requires unwavering cooperation and commitment from all stakeholders including the government, employers and employees.
  1. In this context, I would like to emphasize the great responsibility and trust placed on FGV Holdings Berhad as one of the major players in the Malaysian palm oil industry. 
  1. The unique occupational safety and health risks in this sector require a flexible and adaptive approach to management. Effective risk management not only ensures the safety and health of our workers but also serves as a testament to the growth and excellence of our country's economy.

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen,

  1. Since 2023, FGV Holdings Berhad (FGV) has taken its own initiative to involve plants under FGV's control by participating in conducting a self-assessment of the asset integrity management system at their plants. 
  1. The self-assessment uses a system Aging Plant Information System (APIS) which has been developed by DOKKP. This system is designed to assist its users in asset integrity management by assessing the aging factors of a plant. It is hoped that this APIS system can assist FGV plants in assessing the aging factors of the plants under their control. 
  1. This self-initiative implemented by FGV is indeed worthy of being used as an example and given appreciation. At the initial stage, DOKKP has only introduced this system to all installations subject to the CIMAH Regulation 1996 and has not yet been extended to other installations. 
  1. However, FGV Holding Berhad has gone a step further by taking a decision to have all plants under FGV's control undergo a self-assessment of their asset integrity management using the APIS system, even though these plants are not installations subject to the CIMAH Regulations 1996. 
  1. The initiative and efforts of 86 plants under the supervision of FGV Holding Berhad that voluntarily participated in APIS are able to instill enthusiasm and increase awareness of self-regulation among the industry as well as foster the highest standards of safety and health in the workplace.

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen,

  1. The Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) has developed a system to assess plant aging factors in asset integrity management, namely Ageing Plant Management System (APMS). 
  1. This management system aims to help workplaces conduct self-assessments of their plant's asset integrity management systems through a system 'Ageing Plant Information System' (APIS)Monitoring the integrity of this asset aims to assess whether the plant is experiencing deterioration or obsolescence which could trigger plant aging issues regardless of its age, integrity or functional performance.
  1. The deterioration or obsolescence of this plant, if not monitored, maintained and managed properly and efficiently, can lead to unplanned plant shutdowns and subsequently cause losses to the company.
  1. The objective of the self-assessment through the APIS system is to assess asset integrity management which includes:
  1. Workplace management awareness and commitment to issues related to plant aging;
  2. Plant integrity monitoring methods used by the installation to ensure safety throughout the plant's operational period; and
  3. Plant maintenance programs practiced by workplaces to address plant aging issues.
  1. These initiatives are important in the effort to creating a safer and more efficient work environment through technology integration, also in line with the country's OSH landscape which will evolve in line with the enforcement of the Occupational Safety and Health (Amendment) Act 2022 which has come into force since June 1, 2024. 

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen,

  1. In conclusion, this self-initiative within the industry is very much in line with the objectives and call for all stakeholders to work together and collaborate according to the concept of tripartism, as well as strengthen the commitment to achieving the goal of a safer and more efficient work environment for all Malaysians. 
  1. Let us realize this mission with full dedication and responsibility in an effort to create a safer, healthier and more conducive workplace.
  1. Finally, with the words IN THE NAME OF GOD,

I am pleased to inaugurate 'AGING PLANT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (APMS) AWARD CEREMONY DOSH – FGV'

That's it, Wabillahi Taufik Walhidayah, Wassalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Thank you.

Assalamualaikum WBT and Best Wishes,

Ladies and gentlemen and friends of the media,

  1. The government is committed to ensuring that all workers in this country can work in a safe, healthy, conducive and productive work environment. This commitment is expressed through several approaches, including reviewing existing legislation involving Acts, Regulations and Guidelines.
  1. This includes the gazettement of the Occupational Safety and Health (Amendment) Act 2022 which was implemented in line with the country's economic development with the emergence of various new job sectors that expose workers to various occupational safety and health (OSH) hazards.
  1. This Amendment Act came into effect on 1 June 2024. The initiative to publicise this Act was actively carried out through the National OSH New Legislation Publicisation programme, in six (6) zones nationwide, starting on 20 May 2024 in Penang (Northern Zone) and ending on 29 May 2024 in Selangor (Central Zone). A total of 1,103 participants were physically present and 6,281 participants were online throughout the publicisation programme.
  1. Operation SPARK took place for ten (10) days starting on 12 June 2024 until 27 June 2024 simultaneously throughout the country. Operation SPARK, which involved 1,241 workplaces, was carried out by DOSH officers through enforcement activities in various industrial sectors (a total of 40%), inspections of certified machinery (a total of 40%) and enforcement of construction sites (a total of 15%).  
  1. The purpose of Operation SPARK was to publicize the coming into force of the Occupational Safety and Health (Amendment) Act 2022, and the repeal of the Factories and Machinery Act 1967. This operation also aimed to determine the effectiveness of the DOSH publicity strategy regarding the new National Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) legislation. As a result of this operation, 70% workplaces responded positively and informed them that they were aware of the latest amendments to the OSH Act.
  1. In terms of dissemination methods, 43% respondents from the workplace stated that organizing roadshows and seminars had successfully provided information regarding the latest amendments to the OSH Act. While 20% industry members agreed that social media platforms such as DOKKP's Facebook and DOKKP's TikTok played an important role in disseminating information and 37% industry members learned about this legislative amendment through MyKKP.  
  1. Among the significant changes in this Amendment Act are the introduction of new provisions relating to the responsibility of conducting risk assessments, the appointment of a Safety and Health Coordinator (OSH Coordinator) and increased penalties (deterrent effect) which is ten (10) times the existing one, i.e. the maximum penalty is increased from RM50,000 to RM500,000.
  1. With the increase in penalty rates for each violation under this Amendment Act, indirectly the issue of worker safety, health and welfare will be given attention by making the workplace free from accidents and occupational diseases.
  1. DOSH always emphasizes the importance of enforcing existing laws as well as the need to adapt to new challenges in OSH to ensure that the workplace is safe, healthy, conducive and prosperous.

That's it, thank you.

Distinguished guests,

(Introduction)

  1. Chemicals are widely used throughout the world, including Malaysia. The use of chemicals can help improve daily life and provide various benefits to humans.
  1. However, some chemicals can affect the environment and human health by causing acute or chronic effects.

Distinguished guests,

(Function of Chemical Management Division)

  1. The Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSHA) through the Chemical Management Division plays an important role as a leader in addressing current issues related to chemical management, including: Globally Harmonized System (GHS) on Classification and Labeling of Chemicals, Chemical Health Risk Assessment, Chemical Weapon Convention (CWC), Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and International Conventions related to chemicals.  
  1. The Chemical Management Division also acts as a coordinator for the implementation of the enforcement of the Occupational Safety and Health (Classification, Labelling and Safety Data Sheets of Hazardous Chemicals) Regulations 2013 or known as the CLASS Regulations 2013. Among the important elements outlined in the CLASS Regulations 2013 are the classification of chemicals and the submission of an annual inventory of hazardous chemicals through Chemical Information Management System (CIMS).
  1. Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals, or known as GHS, is a system of classification and labeling of chemicals developed by the United Nations (UN) in 2003. 
  1. The main purpose of developing the GHS is to strengthen communication of chemical hazards and promote trade in chemicals at the national and international levels. 
  1. In 2009, GHS was implemented in legislation enforced by DOSH through the gazettement of the CLASS Regulations 2013 and the Industry Code of Practice on the Classification of Hazardous Communication Chemicals (ICOP CHC) 2014.

Distinguished guests,

(Chemical Information Management System (CIMS))

  1. Regulation 14 under the CLASS Regulations 2013 stipulates the requirement for major suppliers to submit an inventory of hazardous chemicals to DOSH. This inventory covers hazardous chemicals imported or supplied in quantities of one (1) metric ton and more per calendar year. It must also be submitted to the Director General of DOSH no later than 31 March of the following year. 
  1. Therefore, CIMS developed by DOSH to enable suppliers to submit inventories of hazardous chemicals online.
  1. This has a positive impact on the industry, especially in terms of saving costs and time used to complete the obligation to submit an inventory of hazardous chemicals. 
  1. For your information, as of December 2023, a total of 1664 user accounts have been registered in CIMSAn increase of 166% was recorded in 2022 for the quantity of chemicals imported and manufactured compared to 2021, namely 803 million tonnes of chemicals in 2022 compared to 301 million tonnes of chemicals in 2021. 
  1. This trend of increasing quantities of hazardous chemicals clearly demonstrates the need for major suppliers to classify chemicals correctly and submit accurate inventories of hazardous chemicals through CIMS.

Distinguished guests,

(CATCH Development by MITI in Collaboration with UKM)

  1. Compliance with the CLASS 2013 Regulations among industries is challenging because it requires input from trained people or people with expertise in the fields of classification and toxicology, in addition to the limited inventory submission period set by DOSH.
  1. The industry, especially from the small and medium enterprise sector (SMEs), facing difficulties in classifying the chemical mixtures produced. This can affect the health of workers and at the same time have implications for the chemical trade.
  2. In this regard, in 2016, the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) under the initiative High Value-added and Complex Product Development Program, has launched a project known as 'Globally Harmonized System of Classification – Chemical Industry' and led by the National University of Malaysia (UKM). 
  1. The main goal of the project is to help the industry comply with the CLASS Regulations 2013, while at the same time promoting the trade of chemicals at the national and international levels.
  1. As a result of the project study, an online system known as CATCH (Classification Tool for Chemical Mixtures) was developed in 2017. 
  1. There are no fees charged for use. CATCH, however, registration is required before using CATCH. 
  1. On 8 March 2023, a title agreement was signed between MITI and UKM, whereby MITI transferred the title CATCH entirely to UKM, and UKM is responsible for maintaining CATCH. Based on usage trends CATCH, found to be the main user CATCH consists of industry.

Distinguished guests, 

(Hope and Recommendation)

  1. It is my hope that the organization of this workshop can assist the industry, especially from the small and medium industry (SME) sector, in improving knowledge and skills in classifying hazardous chemicals through the platform. CIMS and CATCH.
  1. It is also hoped that all participants will be able to take the opportunity to learn about the requirements for chemical classification and inventory submission as stipulated under the CLASS Regulations 2013.
  1. As you are aware, the Occupational Safety and Health (Amendment) Act 2022 will come into effect on 1 June 2024. In this regard, I would like to inform you that DOSH is also in the process of amending regulations related to chemical management, particularly the CLASS Regulations 2013 and the Occupational Safety and Health (Use and Exposure Standards of Chemicals Hazardous to Health) Regulations 2000 or known as the USECHH Regulations 2000. 
  1. The amendments to these two Regulations are in the final stages of drafting. If there are no obstacles, they are expected to be implemented this year or next year. Therefore, I hope that the industry can take note and be prepared for any changes involving the amendments to these two Regulations.
  1. Finally, I would like to express my deepest gratitude and congratulations to the Organizing Committee, namely the Chemical Management and LESTARI Division, UKM, for their high commitment in ensuring that this workshop can be carried out successfully.

With words IN THE NAME OF GOD, RAHMANIRRAHIM, 

I am pleased to inaugurate Workshop Chemical Information Management System (CIMS) and System Classification Tool for Chemical Mixture (CATCH) Year 2024 Central Zone Level.

That's it, Wabillahi Taufik Walhidayah, Wassalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

  1. Therefore, the Government, through KESUMA and the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health, as well as the Department of Occupational Safety and Health, which is given the responsibility to administer and enforce legislation relating to Occupational Safety and Health (OSH), will continue to be committed to ensuring that workers in Malaysia can improve their quality of life while working through the formation of a safe and healthy work culture.

Distinguished guests,

  1. The celebration of World Day for Safety and Health at Work aims to remember the victims of accidents and occupational diseases at work. 
  1. However, in line with the change in direction and objectives to be achieved in ensuring that worker safety and health can be improved, World Health Organization Day is also welcomed for the purpose of promoting a culture of prevention of accidents and occupational diseases in the workplace.
  1. For your information, ladies and gentlemen, the World Day for Safety and Health at Work program is not only celebrated here but is celebrated throughout the premises and workplaces in our country with the support and cooperation of various parties such as the OSH Practitioners Association, NGOs, employers and employees. 
  1. This means that the message on Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) issues can be delivered directly to employers and employees in our country. I congratulate you on this effort.

Distinguished guests,

  1. I also understand the reception World Health Organization Day This year, it has successfully brought together a total of 2,500 participants consisting of OSH practitioners.
  1. This is the largest gathering of OSH practitioners from across the country, where the reading of the Integrity Pledge that will be recited by all participants will shortly be recorded as "The Largest Integrity Pledge by OSH Practitioners in Malaysia" in Malaysian Book of Records.

[Refer to protocol list]

In the name of God, my God, my God.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Greetings of Peace and Greetings to Malaysia Madani.

  1. Alhamdulillah, first of all, I would like to express my gratitude to Allah SWT and am very honored to be invited and able to attend with you ladies and gentlemen at Occupational Safety and Health Seminar in the 5G Mobile Technology Industry Sector which was held today.
  1. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate and congratulate Strategic Core Technical Committee 7 OSHMP25 – Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSHA)), Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB), Ericsson Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. and consultants from Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) for the cooperation given to ensure the smooth running of today's seminar. Congratulations on the commitment shown.
  1. I also hope that by organizing this seminar, I can provide an opportunity for all participants to improve and update knowledge in aspects of occupational safety and health (OSH) to face current and future challenges that are always dynamic with changes in infrastructure and the latest technology, especially in Fifth Generation Mobile Industry sector or known as 5G.

Ladies and gentlemen, whom I respect.

  1. The Ministry of Human Resources, through the Department of Occupational Safety and Health, is strongly committed to ensuring that workers in this country can work in a safe, healthy, conducive and productive work environment. 
  1. Various programs have been planned to promote occupational safety and health in this country so that Safe and Healthy Work Culture can be practiced in all industrial sectors and all workplaces. Among the high-impact programs currently being implemented are: Occupational Safety and Health Master Plan 2025 (OSHMP25) which this year is the 4th year of its implementation.
  1. Occupational Safety and Health Master Plan 2025 (OSHMP25) This targets achievements by 2026, namely:
  1. The fatal injury rate is 2.93 for every 100,000 workers;
  2. Occupational injury rates are 2.13 for every 1,000 employees; and
  3.  Improvement of 30% reporting of occupational diseases and occupational poisoning.

Ladies and gentlemen, whom I respect.

  1. For your information, the seminar held today is a continuation of the findings of a study conducted by an external consultant appointed by the Department, namely UTHM, in the Department's efforts to identify industrial sectors that are capable of expanding more widely in the future in our country or better known as Future Jobs.
  1. From the study, 5G industry sector is one of the sectors that will continue to grow more widely in the future. 5G will also bring changes to society with a smarter and more efficient lifestyle, for example better communication to make work easier. 
  1. This more effective communication allows robotic technology, drones and equipment using 5G technology to be used to replace work that has been carried out using human energy.
  1. Although there are positive impacts from 5G technology, such as creating new job opportunities, new hazards will also emerge and this requires different risk assessments and risk controls. 

Ladies and gentlemen, whom I respect.

  1. This seminar is one of the activities carried out under Strategic Core 7, Program 1, OSHMP25 namely Strengthening Awareness and Sensitivity of OSH Practices for Future Jobs. 
  1. This is also in line with the action plan JENDELA (National Digital Network), which is part of 12th Malaysia Plan (2021-2025)  which was announced by the former Prime Minister on August 29, 2020,  and also one of the initiatives 'AI (Artificial Intelligence) for the People' which was launched by Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia on
    January 16, 2024 related to artificial intelligence (Artificial Intelligence) to face new job challenges. 
  1. In addition, the Department is also actively preparing to enforce the Occupational Safety and Health (Amendment) Act 2022 (Act A1648). Through the enforcement of this Amendment Act, it is expected that the country's OSH landscape will change significantly and become more holistic and New job challenges can be addressed. 
  1. The Department is confident that if we make sufficient preparations, the use of technology can actually improve OSH levels and help prevent accidents and illnesses in the workplace in the coming years and improve the overall Well-being Index of Malaysians. 

Ladies and gentlemen, whom I respect.

  1. Before ending my speech, I would like to once again take this opportunity to congratulate the organizing committee for making this 5G seminar a success. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended today's program. Hopefully, programs like this can continue in the future.
  1. With those words and the words IN THE NAME OF GOD, HIRRAHMAN, IRRAHIM, I hereby inaugurate OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH SEMINAR FOR WORKERS IN THE 5G MOBILE TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY SECTOR IN 2024.

So much, Wabillahi Taufik Wal Hidayah, Wassalam Mualaikum Warah Matullahi Wabarakatuh.
