Objective - This study intends to identify the post-COVID-19 safe working practices that have been established and to investigate how the workplace's culture of safety practices has evolved due to the pandemic.
Methodology/Technique - The study used a conceptual development framework that used two data sources: journal publications (secondary data) and field interviews (primary data). The secondary data analysis of the literature review revealed seven post-pandemic workplace practices that are being employed in this study. These practices include workplace hazard control factors and preparedness plan factors.
Findings – Based on the interviews with the 22 companies (safety personnel and practitioners) in the various industries, it was discovered that only three aspects of post-pandemic workplace safety culture were totally actual practices and adopted by all the companies, namely: following guidance from the federal state and Ministry of Health (MOH), monitor hazard control and safe work, and introduce new methods of work. On the other hand, the remaining four elements are seen as not being as crucial to several major industrial sectors.
Novelty - It is seen to have a positive significance if viewed comprehensively. Disclosing the results of a study can provide a benchmark for other companies to compare their own practices and performance against. Additionally, it is necessary to conduct more comprehensive research, particularly regarding the employees' perspectives and their involvement in implementing and improving workplace safety practices. The current study only considered the employer’s viewpoint, as the safety personnel represents their interests.

Human Resource Information System (FBM-HRIS) was developed to manage information of human resource training, conferences, workshops and any activities through Internet. FBM-HRIS aims to provide paperless up to 90% and to provide low cost and reliable automation of the existing systems. FBM-HRIS also provides excellent security data at every level of user-system interaction and also provides robust and reliable storage and backup facilities. Using action research technique, several categories of user participated in this study to get their feedbacks regarding service quality of submitting and managing human resource activity application before and after FBM-HRIS development. The e-survey was constructed and distributed to all selected participants. The results found that FBM-HRIS has several modules which provide many benefits to the faculty such as the ability to support tracking day-to-day human resource activities (staff training information, conferences activities etc.), improving faculty strategic planning in an organized and systematic way, and among others.
