3. What is SoHELP? A systematic intervention programme:
to help industries to enhance industrial hygiene standard in the workplaces
Meet regulatory requirements on industrial hygiene related regulations

4. Why SoHELP?
Increasing trend on reported occupational diseases in Malaysia mainly due to exposure to excessive noise, chemical and ergonomic risk factor
Relatively low compliance to industrial hygiene related regulations in Malaysia
Industrial hygiene related regulations seems as difficult and costly to comply

Around 13,000 ( 98.9%) fatalities per year due to lung and occupational cancer Vs 144 ( 1.10%) fatalities due to workplace accident.
Estimated 1.3 million workers believed they suffer from occupational realted diseases
80% of self reporting report of occupational realted diseases due to musculoskelaetal disorder (MSD), stress, depression and anxiety
25.9 ( %) loss time due to work related diseases compare with 4.5 (14.80%) million days due to workplace accident.
