| Abstract |
Competencies of occupational safety and health (OSH) professionals have become a concern due to the significance of safety management in the field of safety engineering. The purpose of this study was to identify competencies needed by OSH professionals for administrating and enforcing regulations related to OSH in Malaysia. It used a Delphi technique in three rounds of data collection. The results highlight 25 generic competencies with combinations of cognitive, interpersonal and intrapersonal competencies and 33 functional or specific competencies including knowledge and skills needed by OSH professionals. Both generic and functional competencies are also divided into threshold and differentiating competencies that would be used to differentiate average and excellent performance of OSH professionals. |
