WEB-BASED OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH

            The employers are responsible to providing a safe and healthy work place for their employees. It is also the responsibility of all employee to comply with safety rules and regulation that were decide by the organization to ensure their safety and health. Most of the countries have their own laws about the occupational safety and health to ensure that the work place is safe. Accident can happen anywhere and anytime. However some accident can be prevented by reducing accident-causing conditions and accident-causing act. And also identifying some danger zone in the workplace. ( Dessler & Tan Chwee Huat 2010)

            The organization should prepare basic perquisite  for crime prevention plan. The organization also should implement policies and program that involve employees in protecting against identified risk and threats. A comprehensive corporate anticrime program should start with the company philosophy and policy on crime by ensure that employees understand that no crime are acceptable and employer will not tolerate to the worker aho commit crime. Other than that investigation of job applicants by checking their background. Conducting crime awareness training like during the training and orientation program. And also crisis management by establishing and communicate the procedure employees should follow in the event of a bomb threat, fire, or other emergency. (Dessler, 2011)

            Beside that according to Dessler (2011), in today business environment, the company should utilize the internet-based system that can help the organization in managing their safety program much more efficiency.  For example the worker who handling hazardous chemical must familiar with those chemical Material Safety Data Sheets ( MSDS). Managing the MSDS can cost millions of dollars each year especially for the large company. So the employers need to distribute the appropriate MSDS to each employee, ensure that the employee study and learn their contents. The information should continually update in data sheet based on new OSHA information. Web-based system now provide a platform upon which the employer can mount all its relevant MSDS, and make these all available to the employer who need them, monitor and test employees on the sheets use, and update the MSDS as required. Other example is web-based training tools on occupational safety and health topics. They are highly illustrated and used graphical menus, and also use expert system module, which enable the user to answer question and receive reliable advice on how OSHA regulation apply on work site ( York, 2009)
