SINGAPORE’S workplace safety demerit point system will be extended to the manufacturing sector, and stricter safety requirements will be added to government tenders, among several moves to improve workplace safety and health (WSH). The new Safety Accountability, Focus and Empowerment (Safe) measures were announced on Tuesday (May 23) at the launch of the National WSH Campaign 2023. Some measures from the ongoing heightened safety period (HSP) will be retained, even after this period ends on May 31. For instance, if companies have WSH lapses after serious and fatal incidents, their chief executives must attend a half-day in-person programme – and, in selected cases, personally account for the lapses.   https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/singapore/demerit-system-manufacturing-stricter-criteria-public-tenders-among-workplace-safety   (ICE SINGAPORE)
