INTRODUCTION
The collapse of a building during demolition that left 7 indonesian workers dead, The fire and explosion at a LPG facility and many other accidents seem to dominate the Malaysian media today.

Workplaces MUST have an Occupational Health and Safety Committee, The Committee can have between 10 to 12 members who are made up of both Management and Employees and it must meet regularly but not less then once in three months.
