Star: KUALA LUMPUR: The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (Niosh) has drawn up the Niosh Safety Passport Programme to provide safety induction courses to contractors and their workers.
Its chairman, Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, said the latest programme was initiated last month with Telekom Malaysia (TM).
The safety induction course is for workers who are hired by TM's contractors to do maintenance work and other non-routine work in a confined space or that involved heights.
He said in a statement issued here yesterday that the safety programme had a steering committee comprising representatives from TM and Niosh to oversee its implementation and co-ordination.
He said TM contractors who were awarded the passports could renew them after successfully attending a refresher course.
