LETTER | However, the department's other functions may be privatised or outsourced.
While we laud the idea to privatise the enforcement of the functions under the Human Resource Ministry agencies including the Department of Occupational Safety and Health , an in-depth study and consideration on its practicability must be carried out thoroughly by the stakeholders.
Certificates of Competency are issued to qualified and accredited personnel that include but not limited to Electric Lift Competent Persons, Steam Engineers and Engine Drivers, Crane Operators, SHO , SSS , CHRA and Noise Assessor etc. prescribing their roles and responsibilities in their line of duty.
The writer's preconceived idea of a privatised, unified enforcement of the Human Resources Ministry's agencies should be clarified. Whilst the inspection activity could be outsourced to a service provider, a plausible explanation could not be applied to the enforcement of the laws. The laws upheld by the authority will ultimately guarantee the protection of the safety and health of workers.
The idea to privatise and create a unified enforcement agency will require a detailed study of the multitasking skills of the unified enforcement agents. Perhaps enforcement of other agencies in the ministry could be unified as their nature of work is complementary such as the enforcement of labour minimum age and wages, workers' welfare and social security, unions and industrial relations, skills training development, etc which are non-technical subject to job types.
