NIOSH Boosts Malaysian Public Transport Safety with New Initiative

NIOSH's Safety Initiative for Malaysian Public Transport Malaysia is taking steps to bolster public transportation safety. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has announced a new initiative to provide expertise to public transport operators. This move aims to improve safety standards and create a healthier work environment for both passengers and employees. The initiative directly supports the goals of the National Road Safety Plan 2021-2025. The program includes training, safety audits, risk assessments, and public awareness campaigns. NIOSH director, Dr. V. Gangarajah, stated, "Continuous collaboration from all parties is vital to ensure the safety of all road users." This proactive approach underscores Malaysia's commitment to enhancing public transport safety and well-being. This comprehensive plan not only addresses immediate safety concerns but also fosters a culture of safety within the public transportation sector, paving the way for a safer and more reliable commute for all Malaysians.
