LAWS OF MALAYSIA - Act 514

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT
1994

An Act to make further provisions for securing the

safety, health and welfare of persons at work, for
protecting others against risks to safety or health in
connection with the activities of persons at work, to
establish the National Council for Occupational Safety
and Health and for matters connected therewith.
 DEFINITION
• Human/machine/workplace interaction
• Maximizes quality and efficiency of work
• Maximizes human values such as safety,
satisfaction, comfort, learning
• These two normally conflict – the need for
juggling skill
• Safety - judgment of the acceptability of danger
(hazard & risk) where
• Hazard – injury producer
• Risk – probability that an injury will occur
• 85 % of accidents caused by human: training is
extremely important – to recognize hazard & to
work safely
 DO’S & DON’TS (1)
• Occupational Safety & Health Act 1994
– Control of Industrial Major Accident
Hazards – Regulations 1995
• Control of occupational hazards
• Elimination
• Substitution
• Isolation
• Engineering controls
• Personal protective equipment (PPE)
 DO’S & DON’TS (2)
• Do’s and Don’ts to prevent accidents
¬ Wear proper attire i.e., workshop jacket &
proper shoes. Loose clothing, finger rings
and other accessories are some possible
sources of accident.
¬ Footwear must be worn all the time to
prevent injury – molten aluminum, hot
metal chips, slip
¬ Be attentive while you are in the workshop.
Never put your hands in your trousers lest
you may be caught in the state of non-
readiness
 DO’S & DON’TS (3)
• Do’s and Don’ts to prevent accidents
¬ Do not run in the workshop. Be calm but
serious.
¬ Pay attention to details. Always think before
you carry out any step.

clean & clear from oils, obstructions and
debris.
 DO’S & DON’TS (4)
• Do’s and Don’ts to prevent accidents
¬ Locate the Emergency button or foot pedal.
In the event of any accident, switch off the

for you.
¬ Ensure work-pieces are properly clamped or
secured to the machine. Remove any loose
parts such as chuck key, vice handle, etc. –
flying chuck key (faint) & flying work-piece
¬ Always wear goggles where fine chips are
produced – bloated eye.
 DO’S & DON’TS (5)
• Do’s and Don’ts to prevent accidents
¬ Use machine guards all the time.
¬ When you are operating any machine, stand
at a proper distance.
¬ Do not use hand(s) or finger(s) to stop
moving or rotating machines or parts of
machines – legs between rollers
¬ Do not set the tools when the machine is
running. You may break the tool and worse
still, you may injure yourself.
¬ Never handle machines or work-pieces
during running. Stop the machine first…
 DO’S & DON’TS (6)
• Do’s and Don’ts to prevent accidents
¬ Do not distract a person while he or she is
operating a machine. Wait till he or she
completes the operation & stop the machine
before doing so – Do not be playful – NO
PRACTICAL JOKES
¬ Do not use hands to clear metal chips – 600
~ 700OC (chip-tool interface)
¬ Do not take measurement while machine or
work-piece is moving
¬ Do not blow chips, dust from vices, etc. lest
they may get into your eyes.
 DO’S & DON’TS (7)
• Do’s and Don’ts to prevent accidents
¬ When facing with problems or uncertainty,
stop the machine & get clarification and
help.
¬ Stop any machine before leaving it. Never
leave any machine running unattended.
¬ Beware of high temperatures associated with
metal chips, welding, heat treatment &
casting activities
¬ Beware of high voltages. Ensure all
machines are properly earthed. Do not
interfere with electrical equipment or
connections.
 DO’S & DON’TS (8)
• Do’s and Don’ts to prevent accidents
¬ Protect your eyes from bright lights & ears from
loud sounds
¬ Plan your time properly. Working under
unnecessary pressure may lead to accidents
¬ Grinding tools must be set up by experienced
personnel. Grinding tools rotate at great
circumferential speed
¬ Damaged grinding tools & wheels must not be
used
¬ Do not run any machining exceeding the
maximum allowable speeds
¬
 DO’S & DON’TS (9)
• Do’s and Don’ts to prevent accidents
¬ Report any injury, cut or scratch, no matter
how trivial it may be to your instructor
¬ Clean the tools, cutters, machines &
surrounding area from debris, metal chips,
oils, grease & coolants whenever necessary
and after completing your work
Clean working + good order = safety
¬ Return all tools to store or original cabinet
¬ Never handle heavy objects unaided.
• The above list is not exhaustive. Good
understanding, calmness and common sense
