Occupational Accidents and Risk Management in Malaysian Manufacturing Industries: A DOSH Statistics Perspective (2022-2025)

This study presents a rigorous analysis of occupational accidents and risk management practices within the manufacturing sector of Malaysia, utilizing comprehensive data provided by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH). Focusing on the DOSH statistics, the study investigates accident frequency, severity, and underlying causes in the Malaysian manufacturing sector. By scrutinizing DOSH records, the research uncovers patterns and trends that inform our understanding of accident dynamics and risk mitigation strategies. The role of human factors, technological interventions, and regulatory frameworks are examined within the context of DOSH statistics, enabling a detailed assessment of their impact on accident prevention and overall workplace safety. Moreover, the manuscript underscores the socio-economic implications of accidents on workers and the environment, utilizing DOSH data to quantify the costs and consequences. The integration of advanced technologies such as data analytics and automation is explored through the lens of DOSH statistics, providing insights into their efficacy in bolstering safety protocols and emergency responses. Drawing from the DOSH statistics analysis, the manuscript concludes by offering practical recommendations for policymakers, industry practitioners, and relevant stakeholders to enhance safety standards and risk management practices in Malaysian manufacturing industries. The insights gleaned from this research contribute not only to the improvement of domestic manufacturing safety but also serve as a valuable reference for international counterparts seeking to elevate their own industry safeguards.
