May 2024 President’s Message
22ND EDITION OF MASTER BUILDERS ASSOCIATION MALAYSIA (MBAM) ANNUAL SAFETY AND HEALTH CONFERENCE 2024 LAUNCHED SUCCESSFULLY
The MBAM Annual Safety and Health Conference 2024 was launched successfully for the 22nd year on 14 May 2024 by Ir. Tuan Haji Mohd Hatta Bin Zakaria, Director General, DOSH Malaysia, representing YB Dato’ Sri Abdul Rahman Bin Mohamad, Deputy Minister of Human Resources Malaysia.
The 2-day Conference held at the Sime Darby Convention Centre, Kuala Lumpur with the theme “Beyond Compliance: Cultivating a Safety Culture for Sustainable Success” saw a total of 330 attendees and 8 paper presentations by industry experts.
During the Opening Ceremony, Ir. Tuan Haji Mohd Hatta Bin Zakaria also launched 2 training programmes namely the Trained Person in Excavation and the Working Safely at Height Training. It is hoped that these two programmes will produce construction personnel who are equipped with relevant technical knowledge, skills and Occupational Safety & Health (OSH) knowledge that will further develop the construction industry at large.
I also urge MBAM members to remain steadfast in your commitment towards safety and work hand-in-hand with the Government and all stakeholders to help raise OSH standards in the Malaysian construction sector. Our efforts will have limited effect without the conscious and collective efforts of everyone in the industry.

MBAM President
