Improve workplace safety at smaller construction firms and projects to prevent deaths

Smaller construction firms and projects need to improve workplace safety standards, amid a worrying spike" in workplace fatalities, said Manpower Minister Tan See Leng on Thursday (Jun 23).

เว็บวอเลท สล็อต As for choosing a website to bet on, it is very important that all players take it into account at the top, not just with slot games, but also with slot games.

Speaking at the launch of a workplace safety and health (WSH) campaign by the Singapore Contractors Association Limited (SCAL), Dr Tan said that there have been 27 workplace deaths in 2022 so far.

This is very troubling because it is close to double that of the same period in 2019, he said.

This is of great concern. Every life lost to a workplace accident is one life too many.

Among the 27 deaths, 10 were in construction. And of the 10, six were from smaller construction firms or projects.

The latest death occurred on Wednesday, after a migrant worker was crushed between parts of a mobile crane.

My exhortation to everyone is that we must not leave out such firms and must work hard to engage them to improve their WSH standards too, said Dr Tan.

We must make sure we do everything we can to prevent the loss of lives and make sure that our workers can return home safely to their loved ones.

But he also noted that the safety standards in the construction industry has improved in the past decade.

The fatality rate in construction has dropped from 5.9 in 2012, to 3.3 in 2021.
