Abstract

A guideline on Basic Occupational Health Services (BOHS) has been established in response to poor achievements of the Occupational Health Services (OHS), especially among workers in small and medium enterprises at the global and local levels, including Malaysia. The international guidelines describe competent and skilled human resources as an essential strategy for BOHS implementation. This commentary will discuss the challenges of current occupational health personnel providing OHS in Malaysia and will propose human resource development for future BOHS in Malaysia to ensure fair and better OHS coverage for Malaysian workers.
