To assist employers and workers in fulfilling the mandatory pre-employment and on-the-job safety and health education and training, the Ministry of Labor (MOL) established the Online Occupational Safety and Health Digital Learning Platform in 2021. The platform currently provides 40 courses and 9 short videos. To support foreign migrant workers, these materials are also translated into English, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, and Filipino, allowing workers to learn anytime, anywhere and earn certified training hours.
The MOL reported that the courses cover general occupational safety and health as well as specific industry sectors, such as construction, manufacturing, agriculture/forestry, transportation, and so on. As of June 2025, the platform has certified over 620,000 training completions, with more than 290,000 individuals registered as platform members, a clear indication of the platform’s acceptance and effectiveness. This year, new course materials will be introduced on topics such as hazard prevention in demolition work in high-risk construction projects, as well as case studies prevention measures of commonly seen occupational accidents to enhance workers' safety knowledge and prevent future incidents.
Additionally, to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) manage worker training, the platform introduced a group training feature earlier in September 2023. This feature allows SMEs with fewer than 30 employees, or those employing foreign migrant workers, to apply for a business account and conduct group training sessions. To date, 640 businesses have participated in facilitating training for over 15,000 workers collectively.
The MOL emphasizes that enhancing workers' knowledge of occupational safety and health is essential in preventing occupational hazards. Strengthening safety and health education and training remains the most fundamental and effective approach. The MOL will continue to expand digital learning resources and optimize the platform's features to offer a wider range of user-friendly digital learning resources for employers and workers.
