SINGAPORE — Amid a spate of eight worker deaths in November, the Ministry of Manpower will be stepping up enforcement and inspection efforts in high-risk workplaces over the next two months.

“I urge all stakeholders to stay vigilant especially as the festive season approaches and work activities may be increased to meet production schedules. Companies should carry out thorough risk assessments and put in place mitigating measures to reduce risks to workers.” “We urge construction firms to heed the Singapore Contractors Association Limited’s call to conduct a safety timeout and take stock of safety procedures at project sites,” Zaqy added.
