Hence, the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 in Malaysia plays a pivotal role in ensuring workplace safety and health, profoundly impacting both employers and employees alike.

Between the years of 2024 to 2026, the ‘Just Transition’ phase aims to support industries to embark on the ESG journey by providing guidelines, capacity building and outreach programmes, mentoring and financing.
