What News, Events and OSH Resources Can I Find on the NIOSH Malaysia Website?

Updated

The NIOSH Malaysia website (niosh.com.my) publishes current news and highlights, information-dissemination resources, and details of its national training and consultation services. It is the official online presence of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), which describes itself as a partner in occupational safety and health (OSH) excellence in Malaysia. The site is most useful if you want to follow OSH conferences and collaborations, find publications and awareness material, or locate training, examination and laboratory services.

News and Highlights

The homepage carries a "Latest News" and "News and Highlights" section. Items visible on the site include:

  • COSH 2026 kicks off with 'Wellbeing at Work' focus and WiSP launch (September 14, 2026) — the Deputy Minister of Human Resources, YB Datuk Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan, officially opened the 26th Conference and Exhibition on Occupational Safety and Health.
  • NIOSH Inspires Future Talent at PM's Student Engagement Programme (May 10, 2026) — coverage of NIOSH joining a youth empowerment and future-ready workforce event in Kuala Lumpur.
  • NIOSH & Medivest Cipta Rekod Baharu Malaysia Book of Records (April 28, 2026) — NIOSH and Medivest Sdn. Bhd. set a Malaysia Book of Records entry through the NIOSH–Medivest Safety Passport Programme.
  • NIOSH & KPM Berganding Bahu Demi Sekolah Selamat (November 12, 2025) — a collaboration with the Ministry of Education (KPM) under the MADANI government's initiative to raise safety and health standards in schools.

These entries show the kind of updates the site carries: conference openings, government and industry partnerships, records and school-safety programmes. If you want to track OSH conferences, exhibitions or collaborations, the News and Highlights column is the place to check.

Information Dissemination and OSH Resources

NIOSH lists Information Dissemination as one of its four main service areas, describing it as "curated OSH publications, knowledge resources and awareness campaigns to build a strong safety culture." The site also links to AOSHRI.my (its research information resource) and offers Course Content and E-Certificate Downloads as quick links. Together these give you a route to publications, campaign material and course-related documents rather than only news posts.

Training, Examination and Other Services Referenced on the Site

The homepage groups NIOSH's work into four areas, each with an "Explore More" link:

Service area What the site says it covers
Training & Capacity Building Practical, industry-relevant OSH training programmes for employers, employees and OSH practitioners
Examination & Certificate Structured OSH skills or competency exams and a nationally recognised certificate
Research & Consultation Evidence-based OSH research and expert consultancy backed by accredited laboratories
Information Dissemination Curated OSH publications, knowledge resources and awareness campaigns

National Coverage

NIOSH states that it has 17 regional and state offices across Malaysia, and reports 200K+ participants trained annually, 100+ training programmes, and 1M+ participants trained in the last five years. These figures indicate the scale of its reach if you are looking for a training or consultation provider with a presence outside the Klang Valley.

Online Portals and Quick Links

The site's Quick Links section points to several online services: E-Payment, E-Daftar, Training Portal, E-Semakan, Consultation Services, E-Certificate Downloads, AOSHRI.my, SereniteStay, Lab Analysis Request and Course Content. The site also shows a "subscribe" signal, so you can look for a subscription option if you want updates delivered rather than checking the news column manually. Note that the presence of E-Payment indicates some transactions are handled online, but the site does not state that services are free.

How to Use the Site

  1. Start at the homepage and scan Latest News / News and Highlights for conferences, launches and partnerships.
  2. Use Quick Links to jump directly to registration (E-Daftar), the Training Portal, certificate downloads or a lab analysis request.
  3. For research-oriented material, follow the AOSHRI.my link or the Research & Consultation section.
  4. If you want ongoing updates, look for the subscribe option rather than relying on manual checks.

The main limitation is that the homepage is a summary layer: detailed programme dates, fees and eligibility sit behind the individual service pages, so treat the news column as a signpost and follow the relevant "Explore More" or portal link for specifics.
