In his remarks, Secretary-General of ASEAN Dato Lim Jock Hoi congratulated the awardees for their commitments to the promotion of workers’ resilience by adopting high standards of safety and health in the workplace, which is critical to sustaining ASEAN’s post-pandemic recovery.

The ASEAN-OSHNET Excellence Awards were presented to seven enterprises which performed good Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) management systems. They are from Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore and Thailand.
