🌫️ HAZE AT WORK: WHAT SHOULD EMPLOYERS DO?
As air quality deteriorates, employers have a responsibility to protect their employees from haze-related health and safety risks.
DOSH Malaysia’s 2026 Guidelines for Protecting Employees Against Haze at Workplaces (2nd Edition) outline recommended workplace precautions based on the Air Pollutant Index (API/IPU).
From preparing a haze response plan to restricting outdoor activities and implementing stop-work measures, employers need to know when and how to respond.
⚠️ Important: A high API reading does not automatically mean every workplace must close. Decisions should be based on workplace risks, employee vulnerability and the effectiveness of protective measures.
Swipe through to understand the key precautions at each API level.
