The Act also stipulates every registered medical practitioner or medical officer attending to, or called in to visit, a patient whom he believes to be suffering from an occupational disease or poisoning to report the matter to the Director General. The Occupational Safety and Health (Notification of Accident, Dangerous Occurrence, Occupational Poisoning and Occupational Disease) Regulations 2004 [NADOPOD] provides further requirement and information on the notification method, procedure and process to be followed by the employer and the medical practitioner in pursuant to the requirements of section 32 of Act 514.

The main purpose of reporting the incidences stated under section 32 of Act 514 is for the authority (DOSH) to determine the underlying causes of the incidences in order for remedial actions to be taken to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
