Introduction:

On 16 March 2022, the Federal Legislation had gazetted the Occupational Safety and Health (Amendment) Act 2022 (Act) by introducing new sections, amending certain sections, and deleting certain sections of the principal Act. The amendments are aimed at providing workers with a better quality of safe and healthy environment and also welfare. Directors must be aware of their individual, joint and several liabilities for occupational health violations.
