Workplace safety code of practice on directors unveiled: Tan

It will boost workplace safety and health standards (WSH).

Minister for Manpower Tan See Leng said the government will unveil a code of practice (COP) and Board of Directors’ WSH Duties, which seeks to distil management principles and safe company practices.

In a speech, he stressed that for a WSH culture to grow, the chief executive and company directors should implement WSH improvements as they control over budget and priority.

The COP will be based into these practices:

• Ensure that WSH is integrated into business decisions and have clear roles and

responsibilities of a Chief Executive and individual members of the Board of Directors in

leading WSH;

• Continuously build a strong WSH culture, set the tone and demonstrate visible

leadership in embodying and communicating effective WSH standards;

• Ensure that WSH management systems are effective and reviewed regularly; and

• Empower workers to be actively engaged in WSH.

More on this topic will be discussed during Plenary 4 of The Singapore WSH Conference 2022.

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.
