1.0 INTRODUCTION
The essential purpose of this research is to enable all the students to understand the importance
of safety and health measures at workplace. From this research, we will be able to critically
analyze each issue and provide conclusions and solutions where it is applicable. Besides, we also
can enhance the knowledge about occupational safety and health by studying the actual practice,
procedures and problems faced by the company itself. This might be too helpful for each and
every individual to create awareness in future when they are working in any organization.
Although this assignment has reached its objectives, there were some unavoidable limitations
that we have faced during conducting this research. Firstly, we were incapable to interview the
person who is in charge of occupational and safety health and we had difficulties to allocate time
for the interview when tried to reach them by calling more than one time. Secondly, we couldnt
identify the gaps or problems that the organization we chosen are facing in implementing the
safety and health where there is no any related information about gaps and employers and
employees have to follow according to the procedure in every task. Therefore, we were asked to
create and predict the future gaps of the company chosen which will be implement later on in
future. Lastly, we had a time constraint to finish up this assignment due to the deadline of other
assignment submission where all the submission dates fall at the same week.

2.0 BACKGROUND
Occupation Safety and Health (OSH) is the cross disciplinary area which is concerned with the
health and safety of people that engaged in the workings or are in employment. The main point
of this program is to cultivate a safe and health working environment for the workers. There are
some rules and regulations framed by the OSH related to the safety and health of the workers in
organization such as physical hazard, chemical hazard, mechanical and biological hazards. In
this study, we choose a organization to investigated about their safety and health in company
which is MFS Technology (M) Sdn Bhd.
MFS Technology (M) Sdn Bhd is an innovation leader and establish in printed circuit

Technology was established in 1988 in Singapore, in 1998 in Malaysia and 1991 & 2003 in
China.
Their vision is INNOVATIVE " Partner-of-Choice" for Printed Circuit Applications and
We Deliver More Than We Promise. When youre coming up with the concept for the business,
an important component of overall tactic plan is a mission. The MFS Technology mission is
"Passion For Our Customer" which is understand the customers need, deliver innovative solution

than that, the company provided that Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Policy.

Environment is the component of an organization with most important responsibility for these
functions as they relate purposely to the impact of an organization's processes, products and
services on the environment. MFS Technology is dedicated to conducting their business
activities in a responsible manner towards preserving the environment for all people and next

design the safety ways of the product that make sure can produce and perform properly, so the
workers can work in safety and healthy
5
In conclusion, the MFS Technology is very emphasizing to the OSH method to prevent
the hazards. The training program can give the employee can increase the knowledge of OSH.
Other than that, the company has the two plan to prevent hazards occur which is evidence plan
and emergency response team. Moreover, the company must worker follows all the rules and
regulations. If not, the company will give punishment to the worker. Have manage OSH properly
that can reduce the hazards and increase the image of the organization. It is because the company
have the good management of OSH can get the certificate for the outside parties. Furthermore,
the company already have the certificate on ISO 9001, TS16949, ISO 14001, ISO 13485 and
OHSAS 18001. The certificate is difficult to get, need to follow many standards. So, the
company needs to compulsory to follow rules and regulations and maintain the certificate.
First and foremost, MFS Technology (M) SdnBhd has faced few problems in their organization.
After we conduct interview with the Mohammad Rafizi Oni is the person who in charge the OSH
Department in the organization, we know that they have faced machine problem and worker
attitude in the organization. Mr. Rafizi told us the OSH method they use in the organization and
the problem that occur in their organization.

will find maintenance division to check the problem. The maintenance division will report to the
OSH department and let them to in charge this case. Thus, Mr. Rafizi says the wire just an
accident and they will take action to investigate how to avoid this problem occurs again and give
the worker knowledge about the Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) (Mohammad Rafizi,
personal communication, August 22, 2017).

machine cannot function, machine stuck and others. It is a dangerous behavior when their
working methods are improper way and it will have an accident in the working environment.
The workers should develops a sense of responsibility towards the organization by looking
that the organization is concerned towards their safety and health and their performance. The
employee also gets motivated by working in the health environment and performs better.

4.2 Improve workers attitude
Next, the employees attitude itself should be improvised. Employees should be more
responsible on their job when it comes to production line because a single error could lead to a
major problem. It is normal for employees in every organization to not focus more on their
responsibilities in work. It depends on the employers to either take negative or positive actions
against their employees. As for the negative action, employees who are not following the rules
and regulations should be taken into serious investigation such that the organization could deduct
their incentives and benefits given. This will eventually motivate the employees to work
responsibly and not to go against the rules. As for the positive actions, the employers itself could
make themselves as the roll modal for their employees in implementing safe and good behaviors
in work. The employers should consistently wear their PPE and apply those safety and health
procedures to show the employees on their responsibilities. These will influence and encourage
the employees to follow their employers footsteps.

4.4 Involve foreign employees in safety planning
The fourth solution is to involve foreign workers in safety planning because foreign
workers have their own different language and there will be lack of communication between
employers and employees. Employers should provide clear work instructions to their
employees. MFS companys safety officer should make sure that all safety instructions are clear
and understood. Review and confirm that their workers know what they are being asked to do.
Focus on how each employee performs his/her job. Safety officer should watch their employees
who are taking shortcuts that could reduce safety, but also look for employees who perform tasks
in an improved manner that could be adopted by the other employees.
5.0 CONCLUSION
In the conclusion, MFS Technology has been using the current OSH methods to reduce
the hazards depends on their workplace. The company will have compulsory training to their
employees once in a year to refresh their employees knowledge. MFS Technology provides
proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for their workers to prevent themselves from
injuries and illness. Moreover, the company have a solution to prevent from fire. They will be
using the evidence plan to solve the problem when the fire occurs. Next, the employees in MFS
Technology must strictly follow the rules and regulations of the company.
MFS Technology must follow safe work practices, provide protective equipment, and train all
employees regarding hazards and safety policies and procedures. Safety officers must have
proper training, the ability to oversee and enforce safety regulations, and understand how to
handle emergency incidents. Training employees and having a program in place can prevent
these costly incidents from occurring. Maintaining a safe environment for their workers rewards
the employer with increased productivity and higher morale as well.
