SOP for Safe@Work for Manufacturing and its Related Services Sector 19 March 2021
Objectives
  The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the healthcare capacity of many countries including
  Malaysia. In Malaysia, this has impacted the business community where 29.3% of clusters originated
  from the manufacturing sector between 23 September 2020 and 18 February 2021. Hence, there is
  an urgent need to implement an action plan to secure safe working and living environment for
  workers in the manufacturing sector. Thus, MITI would implement:

          The development of new comprehensive SOP to create enhanced Public Health
           Measures @Work (Safe@Work) to empower employers to be accountable for
                           containing the pandemic among workers.

                                                                                                       2

    SOPs for MCO; and
ii. The implementation of this SOP is strongly
    advocated.
