The Manpower and Transmigration Ministry has awarded 512 companies in the country for recording “zero accidents” in their operations this year.
That figure is an increase from the 287 companies that received similar awards last year.
“This indicates improved awareness among employers and workers on applying K3 [safety precautions] in their work environments,” Manpower and Transmigration Minister Muhaimin Iskandar said in a press statement released on Saturday.
Applying K3, he said, helped minimize possible accidents at the workplace, most of which occurred in construction, transportation and mining sectors.
Muhaimin said K3 needed to be continually campaigned on to further reduce work accidents.
“It is part of efforts to draw investment and support national economic development,” he added.
