Malaysian Standards of PPE to safeguards employee exposure to hazards

Personal Protective Equipment or PPE as it is commonly known refers to protective clothing, safety helmets, googles (eye protector), or other garments or equipment designed to protect the user against health and safety risks.  In Malaysia, the approval of PPE is a requirement of the Factories and Machinery Act 1967 and Occupational Health and Safety Act 1994 And Regulations.  There are seven types of PPE that require the approval from the Department of Occupational Safety and Health Malaysia (DOSH), namely: head protection, sight protection, respiratory/ breathing protection, hand protection, body protection, feet protection, and hearing protection. 

At SIRIM QAS International, we provide full testing facilities, which recognized by DOSH against standards of MS 183 on Industrial Safety Helmets and MS ISO 20345 on Safety Footwear for Imported Products.  Among the benefits are:

• demonstrates products compliance with national or international standards, whereby purchasers of consumers need not carry out further tests.

• provides an independent assurance that products manufactured are under an effective system of testing, supervision and control thus, improve efficiency in production and reduce wastage and rejects.

• certified products enjoy the benefits of protection against competition from substandard products and misrepresentation.

• products bearing the Product Certification Mark provide an excellent marketing tool that could enhance the reputation of the manufacturer and thus, extend market confidence.
