About Us

SOSHPA’s roots originated during the era of COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 when an effective platform to organise donation and aid for frontline healthcare workers in Sarawak General Hospital was needed. The Occupational Safety & Health Association of Sarawak General Hospital (OSHAS) was then established by the working committee from the then members of Occupational Safety & Health Unit.

OSHAS gained recognition for its pioneering drive to provide a platform for OSH professionals in Sarawak to network and gain new knowledge, not only from those in the healthcare field but also from the industry. Due to the positive response, SOSHPA is thus formed as a post-pandemic vehicle to take OSH development forward and elevate the professionalism of practitioners in Sarawak and beyond.

SOSHPA aims to be the leading occupational safety and health non-governmental organisation from East Malaysia and aspires to channel the best-in-class networking opportunities for OSH practitioners in Southeast Asia, leveraging on Sarawak's rapid rise as a niche industrial player in the region.
