This course provides an overview of the important issues in Occupational Safety and Health (OSH). It is a cross-disciplinary area that protects the safety, health, and welfare of the people engaged in employment. All its programs aim to foster a safe work environment. The development of OSH must be aligned with vast development in all industry sectors, including Small and Medium Industries (SME). Industrial hygiene is challenging and yet it is a very important issue in demand for providing safe and healthy workplaces in the context of a market economy and global competition that produces pressure for low-cost production This course will not only focus on the Occupational Safety and Health standards in Malaysia, but on the larger political agenda of the global economy and how it impacts on the safety and health of workers around the world. The class style will be participatory, including small group discussions and activities. Related videos will complement the class or tutorial discussion. Students will learn major types of workplace health and safety problems, review existing public policy in the area, learn how to conduct a workplace audit, and consider how employers, unions, and public policy might improve health and safety outcomes. Issues are addressed using multiple disciplines, namely history, industrial hygiene, and employment relations.
