NADOPOD stands for NOTIFICATION OF ACCIDENT, DANGEROUS OCCURENCE, POISONING AND OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE. (Scroll below to report!)
It's a mandatory regulation in Malaysia under the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994. Its main purpose is to require employers and medical practitioners to report specific safety and health incidents that happen in the workplace to JKKP/DOSH (The Department of Occupational Safety and Health).
The Main Goals of NADOPOD
- Collect Data: To gather accurate information and statistics on accidents, diseases, and dangerous incidents nationwide.
- Find Causes: This data helps DOSH investigate and understand *why* incidents are happening, allowing them to pinpoint the root problems.
- Prevent Future Incidents: By understanding the causes, DOSH can create better safety regulations and preventive measures to stop similar incidents from recurring.
- Enforce the Law: It ensures that employers comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 and related regulations.
Incidents That Must Be Reported
Employers must report four main types of incidents:
- Accident: An injury that occurs during work, including serious injuries or death.
- Dangerous Occurrence: An incident that almost caused serious injury or death, even if no one was hurt (e.g., a structural collapse, a major fire, or machinery failure).
- Occupational Poisoning: Poisoning that happens due to exposure to chemicals or hazardous substances in the workplace.
- Occupational Disease: An illness developed because of the work environment (e.g., hearing loss from loud noise, respiratory problems from dust).
