Responsibilities of Safety and Health Officer

In order to help the employer fulfilling his statutory responsibilities, the safety and health officer
(SHO) has been created by the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). The general duties
of an SHO are to ensure compliance and to promote a safe conduct of work. Regulatory
responsibilities of an SHO are specifically prescribed in the Occupational Safety and Health
(Safety and Health Officer) Regulations.

The SHO should be able to advise his employer so to achieve the objective of protecting fellow
workers from construction works hazards. An SHO has specific knowledge on:

a. OSH legislations;
b. Occupational risk assessment;
c. Preparation of safe operating procedure;
d. Monitoring the effectiveness of control measures;
e. Encouraging worker’s participation; and
f. Continuously improving to ensure sustained compliance to OSH law.

Appointment of an SHO is encouraged among the client and designer, but mandatory to the
constructor if the total contract price exceeds RM20 million.

to comply with the law.

What SHO Need to Do

SHO should fill up the indicators achieved every month, except the Total Received Notice (items
