Workplace death, major injury numbers for all companies to be published online

SINGAPORE - Rates of workplace deaths and major injuries for every company will be published online, in a move to hit errant companies where it hurts.

These are among the recommendations released on Friday by a group comprising government, employer and union representatives, which was tasked with coming up with 10-year strategies to help Singapore become a global leader in workplace safety and health practices. "Some employers are still convinced that WSH is a cost. They practice WSH from a compliance mindset and choose to do the bare minimum or only when told by officers from the MOM.

Singapore aims to reduce its workplace fatality rate to less than one death per 100,000 workers before 2028, a target set by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in 2017. Last year, the three-year average rate was 1.4 deaths per 100,000 workers.- Reduce workplace major injury rate to below 12 per 100,000 workers, down 30 per cent from a three-year average of 17.2 per 100,000 workers.

- In high-risk industries, at least three quarters of employees should be covered by progressive practices reflecting the Vision Zero culture, up from about 60 per cent in 2017. The tripartite committee released preliminary recommendations last August, and also took in feedback from an international advisory panel of experts which regularly critiques Singapore's WSH standards, practices and regulatory regime.
