What is OSH Star Enterprise?
The OSHC ensures that “OSH Star Enterprise” meet high safety standards through three main initiatives: subsidy on safety equipment, providing safety training, and offering free consultancy services.
Subsidy on Safety Equipment: Participating RMAA enterprises involved in erecting, dismantling, or using truss-out bamboo scaffolds must provide workers with full-body safety harnesses and anchorage systems. Enterprises can apply for subsidy from OSHC to purchase safety-compliant equipment.
Providing Safety Training: OSHC offers safety training (Safety at Work for Repair, Maintenance, Alteration and Addition Works) for supervisors, and provides safety training (Safe Use of Transportable Temporary Anchor Devices) for workers. Enterprise’s employees who complete the courses receive training allowances. Additionally, OSHC offers the Safety and Health for Supervisor (Construction) course.
Free Consultancy Services: OSHC provides free consultancy services to help enterprises establish safety management systems. OSHC also arrange for accredited safety auditors to conduct assessments to determine if the enterprise's safety standards meet the certification criteria. Successful enterprises can become “OSH Star Enterprise”.
