Title: The Effectives of OSH in School Program

Problem Statement:-
Currently there are lots of reports have been received related to school accident. Sekaran (2019) had reported that 17 students hurt in school due to chemical explosion while 70 affected by fumes. The accident was happen in a school in Bayan Lepas. At least 21 students have been killed after a fire broke out at a school in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur have been reported in CNN International (2017). This case have been open the eyes of the community and the safety officer together to enhance the level of safety among students and the school. There was another factor of accident happen related to human irresponsible to nature that effect the school students as reported in June 2019. All school in Pasir Gudang, Johor have been closed as hit by toxic fumes.

The OSH in School program first have been established by DOSH in 2013. The programme then being introduce as pilot project of corporate social responsibility in 2016 to decrease the accident happen in school by giving the awareness and education among teachers, school administrator and students. The ex-chairman of National Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye (N.D, 2013) noted that very little is known about `OSH In School’ programme which covers another dimension and views school as a workplace, in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) 1994.

It is wondering that on how the school implement the safety and health knowledge to raise the awareness as the occupational safety and health is not a formal syllabus that have been include in education syllabus. Folmer (2002) state that the average person on the street is not aware of the risks. Likewise, most students, teachers, school administrators, and parents are not aware of the problem associated in school students (Folmer, 2002.) This has been support by statement from Tan Sri Lee Lam Thy (Richburg, 2011) that the OSHA standards do not cover school, farming, and recreational settings common to adolescent.

It is a search and evaluation of the available literature in your given subject or chosen topic area. It documents the state of the art with respect to the subject or topic you are writing about. Basically, there are 4 components of a literature review includes: - •a description of the source; •a summary of the source’s main points; •a discussion of gaps in research; •an evaluation of the source’s contribution to the topic. picture source: Koons et al (2019) To systematize this multifaceted process, we present the “why, when, who, what, how, and where” of composing a literature review article. The current work provides structures and guidance for this fundamental effort which can establi

The chapter 1 have been started with the the introduction of research proposal. My mind started to stuck at the research objectives. However, the research objective is not the core of the subject for the overall study. Someone ever said to me, "the maturity of a thesis is based on the research gap, not the research objectives. From the research gap, we can think how to conduct the research, finding the solutions for the research gap". It is like we want to solve the world problem. The feel of reasoning in problem statement is like, the half of the thesis's heart have been complete. By starting the chapter 1, I can find several problems that related to my study. And of course because of my interest in occupational safety and health field, I do several reading to find the problem present to be investigate. Regarding to the readings, I could see that the implementation is not yet become our culture or in other word, I can say, the OSH Culture in our society. The knowl
