Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 13 of 2025 (Permenaker 13/2025) on the safety and health committee (P2K3) was enacted on 17 November 2025 and took effect on 19 November 2025. Article 16 revoked PER.04/MEN/1987, the rule that had governed P2K3 committees since 1987. If your committee was set up under the old rule, here is what changed and what to check. For the full setup guide, see P2K3 committee requirements under Permenaker 13/2025.
The trigger
- 1987 rule. A P2K3 was required at workplaces with 100 or more workers, or with fewer than 100 workers but using materials, processes or installations with a major risk of explosion, fire, poisoning or radiation (PER.04/MEN/1987 Article 2).
- 2025 rule. A P2K3 is required at workplaces that employ at least 100 workers or have a high risk level (Article 3 paragraph (2)). The high risk level now follows the business licensing rules (Article 3 paragraph (3)), today Government Regulation No. 28 of 2025.
What this means: the risk test is no longer a description of hazards. It is tied to the risk classification of your licensed business activity. A site that was outside the old wording may be inside the new one, and the reverse is possible.
Membership
- 1987 rule. The committee consisted of employer and worker representatives, with an Ahli K3 from the company as secretary.
- 2025 rule. The chair is the top leader or pengurus, the secretary is an appointed Ahli K3, and members come from the employer and worker sides (Article 5). Article 6 sets minimums: 3 and 3 for a high-risk workplace with up to 100 workers, and 6 and 6 for a workplace with at least 100 workers.
What this means: count your members. Many older committees have a large employer side and two or three worker names.
Ratification
- 1987 rule. The committee was ratified by the Minister or an appointed official, on the proposal of the employer or pengurus.
- 2025 rule. The committee is determined by the head of the provincial manpower office on behalf of the Minister, on the employer's proposal, with the membership, a copy of the Ahli K3 appointment and a description of each member's duties attached (Article 7).
What this means: the provincial manpower office is now your counterpart for P2K3 determination and for reporting.
Changes to the committee
- 2025 rule. A change of chair or secretary needs a renewed determination, applied for within 2 working days after the change (Article 8 paragraph (5)). Other member changes are set by the chair and notified to the provincial office.
What this means: your HR exit process for the chair and the Ahli K3 now has a regulatory deadline attached.
Reporting
- 1987 rule. Reports to the Minister through the local manpower office at least every three months (PER.04/MEN/1987 Article 12).
- 2025 rule. Reports by the chair to the head of the provincial manpower office, with a copy to the Minister, once every six months or whenever needed, submitted electronically through the Ministry's information system (Article 11). Article 15 requires that system to be established within one year of promulgation.
What this means: fewer reports, but electronic, signed by the chair, and easier for the authorities to cross-check.
Duties and programme
The 2025 rule sets out the committee's duties in Article 9, centred on giving advice and considerations to the employer on OHS, and requires a work programme that fits actual conditions at the workplace. A committee that only meets and signs minutes will struggle to show this.
Ahli K3 appointment
The 1987 regulation also covered the procedure for appointing safety experts. Permenaker 13/2025 deals only with the P2K3, and Ahli K3 appointments follow PER.02/MEN/1992, which remains in force.
Sanctions
Permenaker 13/2025 contains its own provisions on sanctions for employers or pengurus that do not meet their obligations, and Law No. 1 of 1970 remains the underlying statute. A missing or dormant committee should not be treated as a minor administrative gap.
What to do now
- Check whether each workplace meets the new trigger, including the risk test under licensing rules.
- Recount members against the Article 6 minimums and rebalance the worker side.
- Confirm that the secretary holds a current Ahli K3 appointment issued for your company.
- Ask the provincial manpower office whether your existing determination needs to be renewed under the new rule.
- Move to a six-month reporting calendar and set a 2 working day trigger for chair or secretary changes.
