Malaysian Manufacturers are once again engaging MSDS Translation Services for their imports of materials. This demand for MSDS Translation Services follows after US President Donald Trump had granted zero percent tariffs for three major Malaysian export sectors—rubber gloves, semiconductors, and electrical and electronics products to US.

Why is it important for material imports to Malaysia to have to undergo MSDS Translation Services to get the Malay translation of the MSDS?

This is because Malay is Malaysia’s National language, Malay Translation of MSDS is necessary as most emergency and safety personnel, production and inventory workers can only read or prefer to read Malay. Secondly, Malay Translation of MSDS is mandatory for regulatory compliance with OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration). Therefore, for all material imports, Malaysia’s requirements for Malay Translation of MSDS remained unchanged, especially for chemicals.

Apart from being a compulsory requirement, engaging MSDS Translation Services provider for all MSDS that are originally not written in the local language brings tremendous benefits to both the company, the management and its workers.

Engaging an MSDS Translation Services provider that provides fast and accurate Malay Translation of the MSDS allows the management to disseminate the comprehensive MSDS hazard information on the chemicals or materials information very quickly to the workers in their own familiar local language.

Receiving a Malay Translation from a MSDS Translation services provider enables local supervisors to provide proper safety awareness and training to the workers on proper handling of the chemicals relating to their job scope.

From the Malay Translation via a MSDS Translation services provider, supervisors are also able to raise proposal for investing in safety equipment to management. For example, the Malay Translation from a MSDS Translation services provider would have highlighted possible emissions from soldering flux in the electronics factory, thereby raising the need for a fume extractor to prevent respiratory irritation and other health hazards. In some cases, the MSDS would require personal protection equipment and the Malay Translation of MSDS would make it easier for workers to read and quickly identify the need without being told what to do.

In Inventory Management, the Malay Translation of MSDS derived from a MSDS Translation services provider would help warehouse personnel to implement best storage conditions in terms of temperature control, ventilation, locations away from goods with high risk in flammability, etc. During the production process or warehouse inventory stock take, the guidelines from the Malay Translation of MSDS also helps workers to apply proper procedures in disposing the degraded material or chemicals in a safe manner.

By engaging an independent MSDS Translation services provider for the Malay Translation of MSDS with certification, a distributor company of materials imported into Malaysia can submit and apply for approval from SIRIM (Standard and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia) with other necessary documents to distribute the products within Malaysia for sale.

Not only is the act of filing and updating the Malay Translation of MSDS in ISO Procedures and Company Safety Manual important, making these Malay Translation of MSDS easily accessible to relevant local personnels is more important to the company. It allows the company to run in an efficient and effective manner. For a listed company in Bursa Malaysia, this act also shows that the company has some level of Corporate Social Responsibility.

Indeed, the benefits of engaging an independent MSDS Translation services provider for the Malay Translation of MSDS is wide ranging for all importers of materials, especially chemicals. Therefore and hopefully more companies would engage an independent MSDS Translation services provider to avoid any unnecessary mishaps and reap the overall benefits.
