About this Course
On 5 February, at the bizSAFE Convention 2015 themed “A Safer and Healthier Workplace for Everyone”, Minister for Manpower Mr Tan Chuan-Jin announced that the national workplace fatal injury rate for 2014 has been reduced to 1.8 per 100,000 employees from 2.3 in 2013. He highlighted that while the WSH 2018 target has been met, 60 lives were still lost at work last year and one life lost is one too many.
In this regard, it is important that all stakeholders at the workplaces need to fully understand their statutory duties under the WSH regulatory framework and the risk management process in order for them to manage the workplace risk effectively to further reduce the workplace accident rate to as close to zero as possible.
Objective
