    The document compares and contrasts the Factories and Machinery Act 1967 (FMA 1967) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (OSHA 1994) in Malaysia. FMA 1967 focused on prescriptive regulations and was too reliant on the government, while OSHA 1994 emphasizes self-regulation and responsibilities of employers and employees. OSHA 1994 supersedes FMA 1967 in the event of conflicts. While FMA 1967 covered factories and machinery, OSHA 1994 expanded coverage to a broader range of industries and aims to promote occupational safety, health, and welfare.
