Abstract

This current study evaluates occupational safety and health (OSH) practices for 35 medium-and high-grade contractors in the state of Perlis by using structured questionnaires and interviews. Among the 70% of valid participants, majority (Scale Interval Index = 4.16) agreed that “failure to comply with OSH Act” is the main challenge to safety. They strongly believed that complying with OSH standards is beneficial to “the elimination of injury and death” and that “providing the necessary safety gears” at the construction site is among the effective methods to promote efficient OSH among the workers. Companies with adequate OSH management systems have a better record in terms of safety and performance than those that do not have such systems.
