OSH Coordinator
Statutory Compliance Training
Since the OSH (Amendment) Act 2022 took effect on 1 June 2024, the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 now applies to virtually every Malaysian workplace — not just the original 10 gazetted industries. Any employer with 5 or more employees must designate an OSH Coordinator, and DOSH requires that person to complete recognised, in-person training before they can be certified a "Trained Person."
A Compliance Gap Most Employers Don't See Coming
The Law Now Covers Almost Everyone
Since 1 June 2024, OSHA 1994 reaches virtually every Malaysian workplace, not just factories and the original 10 gazetted industries.
A 5-Employee Threshold, Not a Factory Threshold
Any employer with 5 or more staff must designate an OSH Coordinator — offices, retail outlets and service businesses included.
Real Penalty Exposure
Reported penalties run up to RM500,000, with certain provisions carrying personal liability at director level.
A Statutory, Not Optional, Qualification
Only DOSH, or a training institute registered with DOSH, can certify a "Trained Person" — this cannot be treated as a generic soft-skills course.
Any Malaysian employer with 5 or more employees needs a designated OSH Coordinator, across every industry:
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
- Explain the employer and coordinator duties introduced by the OSH (Amendment) Act 2022.
- Run a basic hazard identification and risk assessment across office, retail or service settings.
- Meet the training component required to be certified a DOSH "Trained Person."
Why This Course Cannot Be Delivered Online
DOSH requires OSH Coordinator training to be run by DOSH itself, or by a training institute registered with DOSH, and requires physical, in-person classes only before a participant can be certified a "Trained Person." This is a statutory requirement of the certifying body — Prime Orator sources delivery accordingly through our compliance training network.
Physical Attendance Is Mandatory
There is no recognised online or hybrid pathway to "Trained Person" certification under current DOSH rules.
Delivered by DOSH-Registered Trainers
Facilitated through our compliance training network of appropriately accredited trainers, not by Prime Orator's in-house consultancy team.
Scheduling & Paperwork Handled
We coordinate venue, scheduling, enrolment and HRD Corp claim documentation so your team only needs to attend.
Built for Non-Factory Workplaces Too
Case studies and hazard examples are drawn from offices, retail and service settings, reflecting OSHA's now near-universal reach.
