COURSE INTRODUCTION
This course introduces learners to the

requirements of the OSH legislations in
Malaysia. It will guide students on the
scope of application of the law as well
as how to interpret the requirements of
the law, to comply with its provisions
and to differentiate the requirements of
various OSH legislations. In addition,
learners will be able to identify the
requirements that are applicable to their
workplaces and to suggest the
necessary action to be taken to comply
with the said requirements. At the end
of the course, learners will be required
to demonstrate their understanding on
OSH legislations by preparing a
workplace assignment relevant to this
subject.
Course Synopsis
In Malaysia, the two main legal references for OSH are the Factories and
Machinery Act (FMA) 1967 (Act 139) and the Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA) 1994 (Act 514). The implementation and application of the Acts
may differ between organisation due to the different work tasks and hazards
faced in the various industries. This module explores on the application of
Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) laws and Regulations at workplace.
Course aims
The course aims of this module are as follows:
1. Introduce learners to the OSH legislations;
2. Develop understanding amongst learners on the difference between
OSHA 1994 and FMA 1967;
3. Equip them with sufficient information related to the provisions of
OSHA
1994 and FMA 1967; and
4. Ensure learners can demonstrate the required knowledge gained on
OSH.
5. legislations at workplaces.

Course Outcomes
At the completion of this course, it is expected that you will be able to:
1. Explain the legislative requirement in OSH. (C2, PLO1);
2. Develop legal register for an organisation in accordance to
professional, ethical and legal practices. (A3, PLO11); and
3. Analyse the legislative requirement and its liabilities under
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA 1994 & Its Regulations,
Factories and Machinery Act (FMA) 1967 & Its Regulations for an
organisation. (C4, PLO2)
Course Load
It is a standard OUM practice that learners accumulate 40 study hours for
every credit hour. As such, for a three-credit hour course, you are expected to
spend at least 120 hours of learning. Table 1 gives an estimation of how the
120 hours could be accumulated.

It is important to know that this STUDY GUIDE is organised around a number

of TOPICS, LEARNING OUTCOMES, FOCUS AREAS and ASSIGNED
READINGS. This is illustrated in the Figure below.
STUDY GUIDE
TOPICS
LEARNING FOCUS ASSIGNED

OUTCOMES AREAS READINGS
Figure 1: Organisation of the Study Guide
First, to enable you to achieve the three learning outcomes for the course, ten
(10) different TOPICS are included in the Study Guide. Each of these topics is
to be covered in depth, based on readings from the assigned textbook and
supplementary materials for the course. You are expected to spend about 12
hours of learning time on each topic. Ideally, two (2) topics should be covered
during each seminar.
Second, each topic comprises a number of LEARNING OUTCOMES, FOCUS

AREAS and ASSIGNED READINGS. Each topic is guided by topic-related
learning outcomes which essentially tell you what ought to be achieved at the
end of a topic. The focus areas demonstrate sub-topics that are to be learnt,
understood, applied and evaluated through deliberation. Additionally, these
focus areas will be covered in the assignment and the examination for the
course.
Finally, assigned readings cover the core content for each topic: you will have
to read all of what is assigned not only to learn more about various models
and strategies recommended by researchers, but also to make important
decisions about which model applies to your own teaching-learning context.
An important point to be raised here is that while the selected topics for the
course XBLR3103 covers a substantial amount of information, your readings
and deliberations should not be limited to these topics or to the assigned
readings. The assigned readings and the focus areas merely tell you about
core content, representing the minimum amount of information to cover. As in
all graduate courses, a wide selection of readings is recommended for a full
understanding of the area, which is in this case, models and strategies of
instruction used by teachers all over the world. It would be worth your while to
read the recommended texts and to search OUM’s digital library for other
books and articles related to the course.
The pages that follow outline a list of topics and related learning outcomes,
focus areas as well as assigned readings for the course. Throughout the
duration of the course, your course facilitator will use these topics as a guide
for all face-to-face interaction, class participation and group or online
5
discussion. At the end of the course, your knowledge and comprehension of

the areas under these topics will be assessed.

Case Study
Company profile
ABC is one of the Malaysia’s leading suppliers of chemicals. Total number of
staff is 85 staff.
The problem
Back in 2015 the company was struggling to survive, work was sparse and
morale was low. Management had to concentrate solely on winning business
and generating cash. As a result, the company was facing several claims from
members of staff regarding safety and health issues. The company
recognised that if they were to go forward they had to develop a strategic plan.
The outcome of the plan was:
• The generation of more sales;
• A reduction in the number of manual tasks on their production system;
• An improvement in their machinery; and
• The establishment of a comprehensive health and safety strategy.

Assesment Guide
Refer to myInspire.
Assignments
There is one assignment in this course. Commonly, the assignment will be

focusing on the application of the OSH legal requirements for the purpose of
organisation’s relevant legal compliance. The assignment questions will be
assessed from OUM`s myInspire. It is your responsibility to make sure that
your assignment reaches the course coordinator within the time frame.
The objective of the assignment is mainly to give you an opportunity to explore

and analyse the OSH legal requirements in depth. You are encouraged to use
critical thinking in your assignment especially for the application of theories
into practice. The assignment is guided by the contents of the recommended
textbook and recent journals.
As mentioned earlier, graduate students must demonstrate that they have

read widely and researched their topic well. It is will NOT suffice to rely on
information in the assigned textbook or in the Course Guide to complete your
assignment. Using a variety of references will give you a broader perspective
on the various topics and will provide a deeper understanding of the subject.
The criteria for the assessment of this assignment cover content, structure and
thinking skills. In general, you are required to write clearly, using correct
spelling and grammar. You also have to submit a paper that shows evidence
of the following:
(a) Reflection: Reflect critically on issues raised in the course.
(b) Deliberation: Consider and appreciated a range of points of view,
including those included in the course material.
(c) Application: Develop your own view with regards to application of the
concepts and focus areas covered in the course.
(d) Argument: State your argument clearly with supporting evidence from
related research and demonstrated appropriate referencing of sources.
(e) Integration: Draw on your own experiences and integrated the
information in the course assignment.
43
Do Not Plagiarise
As a graduate student, remember that your own thinking and the knowledge
you construct as a participant in a course is integral to learning. To succeed in
the course, you should never resort to plagiarism or copying at any level
whatsoever. Plagiarism refers to any form of deception in a written paper
(such as assignments or essays) by a student. It is intended to deceive the
instructor about the student’s abilities or knowledge or the amount of work that
is actually contributed by the student. Here are some examples sourced from
a local site ( www.ppl.upm.edu.my).
1. Copying large sections of a paper from the internet or print sources and
not acknowledging these sections as quotations.
2. Paraphrasing or restating someone’s argument without acknowledging
the author. Remember that detailed arguments from clearly identifiable
sources must always be acknowledged.
3. Purchasing or buying essays or papers written by other students.
4. Taking credit for work produced by someone else. This includes
photographs, charts, graphs, drawings, statistics, video-clips, audio-clips,
verbal exchanges such as interviews or lectures, performances on
television and texts printed on the web.
5. Taking double credit by submitting the same essay for two or more
courses.
Avoiding Plagiarism
Here are some ideas from www.ppl.upm.edu.my for avoiding plagiarism in

your assignments and essays.
1. Insert quotation marks around ‘copy and paste’ clauses, phrases,
sentences or paragraphs and cite the original source
2. Paraphrase clauses, phrases, sentences or paragraphs in your own
words and cite your source.
3. Adhere to the APA (American Psychological Association) stylistic format,
when citing a source and when writing out the bibliography or reference
page
4. Write independently without being overly dependent of information from
another’s
5. original work. Read a text, put it away and then write about what your
have read in your own words.
6. Educate yourself on what may be considered common knowledge (no
copyright necessary), public domain (copyright has expired or not
protected under copyright law), or copyright (legally protected).
Documenting Sources
Remember that when you quote, paraphrase, summarise or refer to
someone’s work you are required to cite the source. Here are some of the
most commonly cited forms of material (See www.jfklibrary.org,
library.duke.edu/research/citing and www.ppl. upm.edu.my).
44
Direct citation Simply having a list of thinking skills is no assurance that

using quotation children will use it. In order for such skills to become part
marks of day-to-day behaviour, they must be cultivated in an
environment that value and sustains them. “Just as
children’s musical skills will likely lay fallow in an
environment that doesn’t encourage music, learner’s
thinking skills tend to languish in a culture that doesn’t
encourage thinking” (Tishman, Perkins and Jay, 1995,
p.5).
Indirect Citation According to Wurman (1988), the new disease of the

using referential 21st century will be information anxiety, which has been
defined as the ever-widening gap between what one
understands and what one thinks one should
understand.
Referencing
All sources that you cite in your paper should be listed in the REFERENCE
section at the end of your paper. Below are some suggestions, as listed in

Learning Support
XBLR3103 OSH LEGISLATION
Seminars
There are 8 hours of face-to-face facilitation provided for the course. There will
be FOUR seminars of 2 hours each. You will be notified of the dates, times
and location of these seminars, together with the name and e-mail address of
your facilitator, as soon as you are allocated a group.
Discussion and Participation

Besides the face-to-face seminars, you have the support of online discussions
in myInspire with your facilitator and your coursemates. Your contributions to
the online discussion will greatly enhance your understanding of course
content, and help you do the assignment and prepare for the examination.
Feedback and Input from Facilitator

As you work on the activities and the assigned text, your course facilitator will
provide assistance to you throughout the duration of the course. The facilitator
will also mark your assignment and give you feedback on your performance.
At any time that you need assistance, do not hesitate to discuss your
problems with your facilitator. The seminars and the online forum can also be
used for any of the following situations:
• When you have difficulty with the contents of the textbook or if you do not
understand the assigned readings.
• When you have a question or problem with the assignment.
Bear in mind that communication is important for you to be able to get the
most out of this course. Therefore, you should, at all times, be in touch with
your facilitator and coursemates, and be aware of all the requirements for
successful completion of a course.
47
Appendix C
Study Paths for Success in the Course
Time Commitments for Study

You should plan to spend about 6 hours of study time on each topic, which
includes the time spent doing all assigned readings and activities. You must
schedule your time to discuss the work online and spend enough time on each
topic for this course. It is often more effective to distribute the study hours
over a number of days rather than spending the whole day studying one topic.
You have some flexibility as there are 10 topics spread over a period of 12
weeks.
Study Strategy
The following is a proposed strategy for working through the course. If you
have difficulty following the strategy, discuss your problems with your
facilitator either through the online forum or during the seminars.
(i) The most important step is to read the contents of this Course Guide
thoroughly.
(ii) Organise a study schedule. Take note of the amount of time you spend
on each topic, as well as the dates for submission of the assignments
and seminars.
(iii) Once you have created a study schedule, make every effort to ‘stick to
it.’ One reason students are unable to cope with post-graduate courses
is that they delay their course work.
(iv) To understand the various dimensions of the course, do the following:

• Study the Course Overview and the entire list of topics. Then
examine the relationship of a topic to other topics.
• Complete all assigned readings and go through the supplementary
texts to get a broad understanding of course content.
• Do all activities and read the Scenarios in the assigned textbook to
understand the various concepts and facts presented in a topic.
• Draw ideas from a large number of readings as you prepare for the
assignment. Work on the assignment as the semester progresses so
that you are able to systematically produce a commendable portfolio
or paper.
(v) When you have completed a topic, review the Learning Outcomes for
the topic to confirm that you have achieved them and are able to do what
is required.
(vi) After completing all topics, review the course content to prepare for the
final examination. Review the Learning Outcomes of the course to see if
you have covered all the relevant parts of the course.
