Abstract

This chapter focuses on the development and implementation of an effective safety and health management system model tailored for Malaysian small, micro, and medium enterprises (SMEs). It begins with an introduction to the significance of SMEs in economic growth and the challenges they face in adopting safety and health management systems. The literature review section examines the role of safety training and communication in promoting safe behaviors among workers. The methodology outlines the use of surveys and interviews to gather data from SMEs in various industries. The results and discussion highlight the importance of management commitment, safety training, and employee engagement in achieving the benefits of occupational safety and health (OSH) implementation. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the need for increased safety awareness and investment in SMEs to improve workplace safety and health.
