Myanmar Occupational health and safety law is under draft and only has Factory act 1959, Myanmar National Building Code (MNBC) and guidelines for construction. Myanmar also doesn‟t have experts and specialist for safety, and government and authority only have low level knowledge for safety. So, Myanmar urgently needs Occupational Health and Safety Law and safety training to birth experts in occupational health and safety.
