OSH LEGISLATIONS
PART 1

The concept of “so far as is practicable” is widely used in the occupational

safety and health mainly when assessing the extend of employer compliance to the
OSH regulations. In the court case of Edwards v National Coal Board 1949 implied
that for an employer to exercise “so far as is practicable” or “reasonable practicable”,
they must conducted proportionate analysis between the quality and quantity of a
certain risk against to the effort of mitigating the risk in term of money, time and
trouble (Edwards V National Coal Board, n.d.). In accordance to the Malaysian
Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994, the word “practicable” is referring to the
four main criteria which are severity of the hazard, state of current knowledge on the
hazard including the current knowledge of removing it, the availability and suitability
of ways removing the hazard and lastly the cost of removing the hazard (Occupational
Safety and Health Act 1994, 2020). The employer must consider all the facts about
the hazard related to these four criteria in order to manage an excellence OSH
program in their workplace.

1. Severity of the hazard

Severity of the hazard is referring to magnitude of the consequences if the
hazard materialised. In managing excellence OSH at workplace, an employer must
show that they have as best as possible reduce or eliminate the hazard that will
cause significant consequences such as fatality compare to hazard that cause
minor consequences such as minor cut injury. In view of this, an employer should
weight the benefit of reducing the impact of the hazard against the cost of
mitigating it.
For example, an employer of a shipbuilding company assessing trip hazard for
their worker in administration office and in the workshop. They have concluded
that trip hazard occurred in the office floor, the possible consequences might be
minor injury such as sprained ankle while trip hazard occurred in the workshop
might cause significant injury because of the tight arrangement of machinery and
sharp protruding objects. As a result, the employer has established cheaper
measure to prevent trip hazard if the office by providing non slip mat and
instructed all employer to clean any spill as soon as it happens. Meanwhile, for the

1
 workshop, the employer has decided to spend more money to install engineering
control such protective guard around the machinery and on any sharp protruding
installation. In both cases, the employer had as far as is practicable providing the
best protection to both workplace location.

2. State of current knowledge on the hazard including the current knowledge of

removing it
State of current knowledge is referring to the availability of current
information on the hazard and availability of technology or process in mitigating
the hazard. An employer can obtain the availability of current necessary
information from conducting research on the relevant industry standard, published
papers and journals, consulting their employee which facing the hazard on daily
basis, rules and regulation, industry code of practice, guidelines or past incident
report. The employer needs to demonstrate their proactive measure by conducting
risk assessment on their business operation before starting a specific operation.
The result of the risk assessment will provide them the list of hazards that might
be occurred and based on the list, detailed study can be done to collect all
necessary information on the hazard and way of mitigating it.
For example, an employer of a shipping company owned a chemical tanker
ship which mainly chartered for the carriage of palm oil from Asia to Europe and
voyage back to Asia under ballast voyage without any cargo carried. There is
opportunity from a new charterer in Europe which would like to transport
Phosphoric Acid from Europe to Asia. The employer realize this as good
opportunity since the ship will be on hired for the return journey which provide
additional income to the company. Before agreeing with the shipment, the
employer have conducted hazard study on Phosphoric Acid by referring to the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), specific regulatory requirement for carriage
of Phosphoric Acid imposed by International Maritime Organization and past
incident report involving Phosphoric Acid. As a result, the employer decided that
certain measure need to be added such as new tank cleaning and handling
procedure, cargo tank monitoring procedure and additional protective equipment
to be used by the ship’s crew when handling the Phosphoric Acid. By conducting
the study, the employer had as far as is practicable managing the excellence OSH

2
 at their asset by identifying the current knowledge on the hazard and way of
mitigating it.

3. The availability and suitability of ways removing the hazard

The are many ways to remove or mitigating a hazard. The employer either can
eliminate the hazard and substituting the hazard, establishing engineering control,
enforcing administrative control and providing personal protective equipment
(Department of Occupational Safety and Health [DOSH], 2008) The employer
needs to search every available way in the current practice relevant to their
industry. Although not all available way is suitable for each company because
every company have different work process or operation. The employer needs to
adopt the best available way in the market that suitable to their process or
operation.
For example, an employer for certain oil and gas company required to conduct
yearly internal inspection on their flow assurance tanks which contain crude oil.
After further investigation, they have found the crude oil contains high level of
mercury more than threshold level safe to human. Elimination is necessary when
the consequences so severe and there is no available or suitability ways to remove
the hazard. In the beginning, they have decided to eliminate the hazard of human
entering the tanks for inspection and instead substituting it with thickness gauging
by ultrasonic test from outside to verify there is no diminution on the plating. It is
considered an equivalent means of verifying the integrity of the tanks. As new
inspection technology emerged utilizing inspection drone to carry out internal
inspection, the company decided to adopt and implement in their inspection
program. In this situation, the employer had exercised as far as is practicable
substituting the hazard for something than would provide reduce impact and as
new way emerged, they have decided to embrace it.

4. The cost of removing the hazard

Financial cost is a critical issue that greatly influence on the employer effort of
removing a hazard. Argument can be made either the employer needs to consider
severity of the hazard without taking account of the cost removing it or the
employer need to consider their own financial limitation before choosing the way
to remove it. In order to manage excellence OSH with “as far as is practicable”,
3
the employer should weight the severity of the risk against the benefit that they
will received (ALARP “at a glance”, n.d.). In view of this, the employer should
consider spending more money on the hazard which causing big consequences.
Although, it is not necessary that every solution will involve significant financial
cost because some measure might be less in financial cost but efficient in
eliminating or mitigating the hazard.
For example, there is two manufacturing company, company A and B
producing the same product. Company A is a small-scale production company
while company B is a large-scale production company. Both companies using a
certain hazardous chemical in their process which might causing health hazard to
the employee if expose to a certain period of time. Company B decided to replace
the usage of the chemical to organic chemical which does not causing any health
condition to human. However, the cost of purchasing such organic chemical much
more expensive but due to their large output production, the cost of changing the
chemical is insignificant for the employer of company B. Company A, due to their
limited financial capacity decided to impose administrative control by limiting the
working time of their employee based on the threshold level as required by the
regulatory body. In addition, company A also providing awareness training on the
chemical and lastly providing suitable personal protective equipment to their
employee. The employer for both companies considered as far as is practicable
providing the best way in their capacity in removing the hazard.
As conclusion, detailed analysis on the four main criteria mentioned above
must be conducted by the employer. The analysis will provide them various
options in which they can weigh between the benefit and sacrifice to be done. A
certain large capacity employer in the industry might consider the need to reduce
the hazard as low as possible no matter what the cost because once the hazard
occurred, it might tarnish their reputation. Other employer might choose the
reduce hazard as low as possible while taking account their financial capacity.
There is no correct or wrong because each company have different matter they
need to consider. As long as the employer show that they have consider every
possible way and adopt whichever the best strategies then it has shown that so far
as practicable they have manage the occupational safety and health in their
workplace as best as possible to their current capacity.
