MOM discovers 486 breaches in inspection of workplaces

Seven stop-work orders have been issued since mid-December.

The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) have discovered 486 safety breaches since mid-December 2020.

In a speech on 3 March, Senior Minister Zaqy Mohamad said the 486 contraventions have been uncovered from the 510 inspections conducted since mid-December 2020. This has led to the issuance of seven stop-work orders.

“No company should be complacent,” Zaqy said.

He also expressed concern for the explosion of a building in Tuas on 26 February, which killed three workers and injured five.

In response, MOM inspectors have inspected almost 500 companies to assess combustible dust hazards and minise risk.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
