7.1. OSH Management System and Policy

10 Oct 2014

The Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Management System includes the organizational structure, planning, responsibility, implementation, procedures, processes and resources that are required for developing, implementing, achieving, reviewing and maintaining the safety and health policies in order to control the risks associated with activities working and to establish a workplace that is safe, efficient and productive.

Enterprises that employ 100 people or more and/or having potential danger posed by the characteristics of the material process of production that can lead to accidents such as explosions, fires, pollution and work-related diseases are required to apply an OSH Management System.

The initial steps to implement SMK3 are to demonstrate the commitment and establish an OSH policy, which is a written statement signed by the employer or management that includes the overall vision and goals, commitment and determination implement OSH, the framework and work program that includes the enterprise’s general and/or operational activities.

OSH policy is made through a process of consultation between management and workers representatives which then must be explained and disseminated to all workers, suppliers and customers. OSH policy is dynamic and will always be reviewed in order to improve the OSH performance.

7.1.1. OSH Committee

Enterprises that are required to establish an OSH Committee are:

  • Enterprises that employ 100 people or more; or
  • Enterprises that employ less than 100 people but use materials, process and have installations that have a high risk of explosion, fire, poisoning and radioactive radiation

The OSH Committee consists of both workers and management representatives and is responsible to monitor and implement the OSH policy.

The head of the OSH Committee is required to be a high-level management representative. The OSH Committee Secretary must be a certified General OSH expert. In order to be appointed, he or she must undertake a two week General OSH training course organized by the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration and receive an appointment letter from the Ministry.

The OSH Committee must submit a report on the activities of the OSH committee to Local Manpower Office addressed to the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration every 3 months.

Case Study: An OSH Committee was established at a garment factory. The General Manager felt that he was too busy to be involved, so he appointed the Compliance Officer who was a certified OSH General Expert as head of the committee. This is not permitted practice. The General Manager or a high-level manager should take responsibility as Head of the OSH Committee and the Compliance Officer who is a certified OSH General Expert should be the OSH Committee Secretary.
