Abstract
The accident rate in metalworking industries does show a slight reduction over the years, but still so much higher compared to the other industries. The government of Malaysia has provided various incentives to improve this situation, however the problems still remain. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the commitment and implementation of occupational safety and health (OSH) aspect in the metal working industry. Thus, a survey has been carried out by posting 550 questionnaires to metal manufacturing companies throughout Malaysia. As many as 131 questionnaires have been returned and statistical analysis has been done. Analysis shows that the employer commitment for safety operation is high but its implementation is poor due to lack of resources and OSH knowledge.
