PUTRAJAYA: The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has been tasked to check safety standards at all schools including tahfiz and state-run religious schools. It should not be shouldering the responsibility alone in ensuring high safety standards in schools," he said at the launch of 2017 Conference on Occupational Safety and Health (COSH). Zahid said similar to workplaces, schools too need to acquire world standard safety and health aspects. The government, Zahid said, want safety standards to be fully adopted at all schools. Meanwhile, Zahid also urged all workplaces to continuously uphold safety standards based on the Occupational Safety and Health Master Plan 2020.
