Prior to the establishment of the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994, there was no single legislation focusing on the occupational safety and welfare at workplaces and moreover the numbers of accidents at workplaces are really worrying. In the year 1994, the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 has been enacted by Malaysian parliament to deal with these problems. This brings a question, whether this legislation is capable to control the industrial accidents in Malaysia. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to observe on how this legislation may be used as means to handle and entertain accidents problems at workplaces. The most important thing is that every stakeholder is required to understand the provisions stipulated in the prescribed legislation.
