• Abstract This current study evaluates occupational safety and health (OSH) practices for 35 medium-and high-grade contractors in the state of Perlis by using structured questionnaires and interviews. Among the 70% of valid participants, majority (Scale Interval Index = 4.16) agreed that “ failure to comply with OSH Act ” is the main challenge to safety. They strongly believed that complying with OSH standards is beneficial to “ the elimination of injury and death ” and that “ providing the necessary safety gears ” at the construction site is among the effective methods to promote efficient OSH among the workers. Companies with adequate OSH management systems have a better record in terms of safety and performance than those that do not have such systems.
