This course covers statutory medical practices in the workplace, helping participants understand the full range of workplace-related diseases, including both occupational and work-related diseases. By the end, participants will know how to identify, prevent, and manage these health risks effectively.

Participants will first learn about their statutory duties and responsibilities under the Workplace Safety and Health Act (WSH Act) and its subsidiary regulations. This knowledge is essential for ensuring a safe and healthy working environment.

The course also addresses ethical considerations in occupational health practice, such as confidentiality, non-maleficence (do no harm), and accountability. These ethical principles are key when managing worker health and maintaining trust in the workplace.

Next, participants will explore Safety and Health Management Systems (SHMS). This includes understanding how these systems work in different industries like construction, shipyards, and confined spaces. By implementing SHMS, companies can improve safety standards and minimize health risks.

The course covers effective risk management strategies, focusing on risk assessments, control measures, and clear communication. These measures ensure that potential hazards are identified early and properly managed.

An important part of the course is learning how to conduct workplace and biological monitoring. This involves assessing risks from airborne chemicals, noise, and biological agents that could affect worker health.

Participants will also be trained on identifying hazards that require statutory medical examinations. These include exposures to asbestos, benzene, lead, and noise. The course explains how to assess these risks and the need for regular medical checks.

A step-by-step guide will explain how to conduct statutory medical examinations. This includes proper documentation, reporting, and the importance of accurate records for compliance and monitoring health.

The course also emphasizes respiratory and hearing protection measures. It covers the proper selection, usage, and maintenance programs for protective equipment. Participants will understand how to ensure that workers are adequately protected from airborne hazards and noise exposure.

Finally, the course discusses reporting and compensation for occupational diseases under the Work Injury Compensation Act (WICA). Participants will learn how to navigate the reporting process and ensure workers receive fair compensation when occupational diseases occur.

By the end of the course, participants will have a thorough understanding of statutory medical practices, risk management, and the steps needed to protect workers from occupational diseases.
