 Change in philosophy:
Modify the job to fit the worker rather than
changing the worker to fit the job.
 OHS implementation is a culture if conducted through
multi-stakeholders between government, companies,
workers, families, NGOs, labor union, education,
professional organizations.
 Ultimate challenge is presence of a government that
has adequate capacity and commitment and
consistency to apply the law of OHS.
 The company is required awareness and compliance
with legal and humanitarian feelings towards workers
 Workers should also be aware that safety and health
of workers protected by the Law.
