The MSOSH OSH Award program began in 1982. The annual MSOSH awards are intended to give due recognition to all organisations which have achieved commendable safety and health records and have shown improvement in occupational safety and health processes through sound safety and health management systems.
Companies are subjected to stringent document and site verification audits by a MSOSH panel of qualified and dedicated auditors in order to be considered by the MSOSH Technical Committee for the respective awards. MSOSH OSH Award auditors include representatives from Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH); Pertubuhan Keselamatan Sosial (PERKESO); Malaysian Society for Occupational Safety and Health (MSOSH); National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH); SIRIM Berhad; Malaysian Employer Federation (MEF); and Federation of Malaysia Manufacturers (FMM).
MSOSH congratulated Lynas’ dedicated employees for successfully achieving this prestigious award and expressed confidence that Lynas will continue to maintain the high level of Safety and Health standards at our worksites. MSOSH also stated its hope and aspiration that Lynas Malaysia’s achievement will encourage others to proactively manage safety and health programs in their respective businesses.
