In conclusion , laws are developed by the Government to protect fellow citizens . The amendments introduced by the “ Occupational Safety and Health ( Amendment ) Act 2022 ” and the “ Factories and Machinery ( Repeal ) Act 2022 ” which were gazetted by Parliament on March 16 , 2022 are yet to be enforced . Nonetheless , it is wise for employers to play proactive role and be prepared for the upcoming changes . This new OSHA may subsequently influence the revision of other affiliated written law such as Regulation , Order , Guidelines that are under DOSH custodian . Furthermore , risk assessment is not limited to JSA and HIRARC , there are other approaches like “ Hazard and Operability study ( HAZOP )” which ought to be considered if relevant to the workplace and we Engineers can act as a bridge to close any existing gap .
