MSOSH

MSOSH, the oldest OSH NGO in Malaysia, was established back in 1971. In the 1970s, Malaysia initiated the National Industrialization Policy, which expedited the growth and development of the manufacturing industry in Malaysia.

On August 19, 1970, a meeting was held to develop the society’s constitution, and Dr. Chan Jee Swee was appointed as the Protem Chairman of the Malaysian Society for Industrial Safety (MSIS). The Malaysian Society for Industrial Safety was registered on April 27th, 1971. The Malaysian Society for Industrial Safety was registered on April 27th, 1971.

In 1989, MSIS members discussed a potential draft of an Occupational Safety and Health Act that would be enforced in the near future. This wind of change has moved MSIS to make a significant decision and its direction in order to maintain its relevancy to the needs of the industry.

Hence, MSIS decided to change its name to the Malaysian Society on Occupational Safety and Health (MSOSH). In 1994, the government published the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
