The management of employee mental health in the workplace is essential. Good leadership by employers can increase employees' productivity and directly improve their quality of life. This study explores the use of more objective evaluators in formulating employers' action plans on workplace psychosocial risks. This survey was conducted using an employer practice evaluation form (Amalan Majikan: AM). Seventy-seven employers have filled out this survey voluntarily. Seven employers (9.1%) received an excellent result equivalent to five stars rating. This rating can be used as a reference for employers' practice managing psychosocial risk in the workplace.

Daily work activities are among the sources of stress to humans. Typically, each individual will spend 1/3 of their day at work. It is no exaggeration to say that 1/3 affects the other 2/3. Appropriate assessments should be conducted to assess what employment factors and the work environment contribute to this. This study explains the development process and the use of the Environmental & Occupational Probability Scale screening form on mental health status or known as SKiPP. This assessment can be used to measure both of these factors on the mental health status of employees based on the DASS21 score.

Exposure to certain solvents in the workplace can cause hearing loss. This study aims to bring attention to the existing literature on the adverse effects of solvents on workers' auditory function in a diverse Asia occupational setting. The literature search used in this study is PubMed and Web of Science. 87% of the selected studies reported that the highest prevalence of hearing loss was from solvents plus noise-exposed group. Evidence shows that interaction between the solvent and the noise could be both additive and synergistic. More epidemiology studies on solvent-induced hearing loss using diverse approaches are warranted in Asia region.
