SINGAPORE - The number of major injuries has risen despite the six-month heightened safety period introduced by the Ministry of Manpower in September 2022, which suggests that safety issues continue to be prevalent here.
There were 1.6 workplace deaths per 100,000 workers prior to the imposition of the stricter safety measures, during which firms with serious lapses that led to severe or fatal accidents will be barred from hiring new foreign workers for up to three moths. The HSP has led to improvements in the construction industry, which saw a drop in its death and major injury rate even though the sector was still the largest contributor in 2022 with 160 out of 603 such incidents.
The period of heightened measures saw companies in higher-risk sectors conduct a mandatory safety time-out. These included the construction, manufacturing, marine, process or transport and storage industries, as well as firms in other industries which use heavy or industrial vehicles, such as lorries and forklifts.
This is in contrast with mid-2022, when Manpower Minister Tan See Leng said most of those who had died at workplaces or were in accidents were experienced staff.Painter dies after falling 4 storeys at Bedok condo in first workplace death of 2023 MOM is watching workplace safety indicators closely, and will let industries and the public know when it has decided whether to extend the HSP, he said.
