Web-based on Occupational Safety and Health (OSH)
are one of the primary areas in human resource Management that using the
information system. Nowadays, many organizations using this to promoted their safety
and health in workplace.
This web-based has their important function in the
organization. One of the functions is like as said before to promoting safety and
health in the community. Others is to educate them and training, consultancy
services and also to under going research and development. Information
dissemination is also one of the functions of this OSH web.
One of the important acts in organization is Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA). OSHA set the general standards, regulations and
procedures to the industry and commands the organization to keeping record
about occupational injuries and illness. OSHA also has the inspection
priorities. These inspections are important to imminent danger situations,
inspections of catastrophes, fatalities and accidents that have already
occurred, inspections that related to valid employee complaints and also
periodic and random inspections.
The employer and employee will get problems and get
into trouble if disregard this OSHA. Some of the ways to get into this trouble
if the employer ignore about safety issues, lies within the inspections, do not
correct the hazards, ignore safety rules and industrial hygiene issues.
Because of that problems can occurred, that why the
employer and employee must know their right and responsibility in OSHA. One of
the important responsibility of the employer is must provide a workplace that
free from hazard and to the employee is to follow all employer safety and
health rules and regulations. One of the rights that employer must have is to
seek advice and off site consultation from OSHA and one of the employee right
in OSHA is to demand safety and health on the job without fear of punishment.
For example, employer must carry their
responsibilities seriously about provide workplace that free from hazard such
as employer can put the sign “danger” in the danger place, or if doing cleaning
progress put sign “slippery floor”. Employer also put more information about
the important to stay health and safety in their web of OSH.
In this topic, I get more understand when read
through the case that Dr. Nur Naha attach “Employee involvement to improve
safety in the workplace: An ethical imperative”. This case showed that employer
must always update and care about the hazard in the workplace that can harm the
employee safety and health. When use the Employee Involvement model to do the
improvement, it can increased job satisfaction and greater health in the
organization.
