MyCSP Pilot Project: UNISEL Staff Lead Training for Safer Courier Operations
Two dedicated academic staff members from the Faculty of Health Sciences, Universiti Selangor (UNISEL) — Puan Noormaliza Hamdan and Puan Fauzana Mustaffa both from Bachelor of Occupational Safety and Health Programme — proudly represented the university as trainers in the Pilot Test for the Courier Safety Passport (MyCSP) Module.
The MyCSP initiative marks a significant step toward improving occupational safety and health (OSH) standards across Malaysia’s postal and courier industry. By integrating expertise from academia, industry, and research, this program aims to create safer working conditions for thousands of courier workers nationwide.
About the MyCSP Pilot Project
The MyCSP (Courier Safety Passport) is a collaborative effort between:
- Postal Forum Malaysia
- Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS)
- Universiti Selangor (UNISEL)
- Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM)
This partnership aims to develop a comprehensive, relevant, and high-impact training module that enhances safety practices among courier and delivery personnel. The MyCSP module focuses on risk management, defensive driving, ergonomics, and workplace safety awareness — ensuring couriers are better equipped to face real-world challenges.
MyCSP Pilot Training Session
The pilot session brought together two major courier companies with a total of 53 participants. During the session, trainers and participants engaged in practical learning, discussions, and module testing to identify areas for improvement.
By testing the MyCSP module in a real-world environment, the team was able to refine the content to ensure it meets the actual needs of the industry. This process plays a crucial role in ensuring that the final module is effective, engaging, and relevant to daily courier operations.
UNISEL’s Contribution to National Occupational Safety
UNISEL’s participation in the MyCSP Pilot Project reflects the university’s continuous commitment to advancing occupational safety and health (OSH) education and practice in Malaysia. The Faculty of Health Sciences takes pride in the achievements of its lecturers who contributed their expertise to this national-level initiative.
Dean of the Faculty, in acknowledging their contribution, emphasized that UNISEL’s involvement in the MyCSP project not only strengthens collaboration between academia and industry but also supports Malaysia’s aspiration for safer workplaces.
“Our staff’s participation demonstrates UNISEL’s active role in supporting national efforts toward a safer and more sustainable workforce,” she said.
Building a Safer Future for the Courier Industry
With the increasing demand for delivery services, especially in the e-commerce sector, ensuring courier safety has become more important than ever. The MyCSP initiative addresses crucial safety gaps and provides workers with the necessary skills and knowledge to reduce accidents and improve productivity.
The Faculty of Health Sciences at UNISEL hopes that this collaboration with MIROS and UTHM will pave the way for more innovative safety programs in Malaysia’s logistics sector.
Acknowledgment and Appreciation
UNISEL extends sincere appreciation to MIROS for the opportunity to collaborate in the MyCSP Pilot Project. The university also congratulates Puan Noormaliza Hamdan and Puan Fauzana Mustaffa for their dedication and contribution.
Their efforts reflect UNISEL’s vision to be a center of excellence in occupational safety and health, aligning with national goals to create a safe, healthy, and sustainable working environment for all.
Congratulations once again to both lecturers! May this milestone inspire continued collaboration between academic institutions and industry stakeholders in advancing Malaysia’s OSH standards.
