Under the above law and regulations, the industry is required to submit monitoring reports and SW inventory. Certainly, DOE cannot scrutinise every records, not to mention the amount of storage space required to keep the records.
The proposal: abolish these requirements. Let us keep the records in our premises. DOE, in their visits to the premises can examine the records to verify that the industry is fulfilling the requirements of the above regulations.
This is what DOSH is practising.

Yes, under the current law, industries are required to submit their monitoring reports and SW inventory. This is a part of the extended producer responsibility of industries to prove that they are fulfilling the requirement of the law. So your proposal to abolish the submission of the records to the DOE cannot be considered for the time being.
In the near future we might introduce a new system for data submission on line as what we have implemented for the e-consignment note and the Notification And Registration of EHS on-line.
