The manufacturing sector is the backbone of Malaysia's economy. However, accident statistics for this sector show levels of hazard in the workplace that may reduce the operating ability and efficiency of a firm and consequently lead to a decrease in performance. Meanwhile, OSH practices are acknowledged as an important factor in terms of reducing interruptions to production and eliminating non-added value to business.
