EMPLOYMENT OF SHO BY SMIs Big industries have no problems employing SHOs

SMI have budget constraints. Therefore, they tendto accept those potential SHOs who have passed

the SHO exam, but have not registered withDOSH

Normally these people have not registered withDOSH because they have not completed the 3

years experience imposed by DOSH

Lack of Reporting of Accidents Many accidents are not reported

Too minor to report; Dont know have to report

Management did not encourage reporting

Affects safety target & business reputation

To avoid having to deal with DOSH Dont provide SHO with investigation tools

Cooperation from victims & witnesses

Refusal to cooperate

As a result Cant do accident trend analysis

Cant do investigation

Reporting to DOSH is incomplete

However, the result of the study has raised other

issues related to public relations, human relationsand administration. Obviously the Starter Packneed be designed to solve these issues byincluding hard skill and softskil.
