Workplace fatality rate declines in 1H23

Construction and manufacturing sectors are the biggest contributors to fatal and major injuries.

The annualised fatality rate per 100,000 workers dropped by half to 0.8 in 1H23, data from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) showed.

The 1H23 fatality rate per 100,000 workers was also lower than the 1H22 and 2H22 record of 1.6 and 1.3, respectively.

“The improvements reflect the positive outcomes from the Heightened Safety Period (HSP), which ended on 31 May 2023,” said MOM.

“This also places Singapore back on track towards meeting our WSH2028 aspirations of a fatality rate below 1.0 per 100,000 workers,” added MOM.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
