MoM ramps up fight vs driver fatigue

This is in response to concerns about vehicular accidents being the top cause of workplace deaths.

The Ministry of Manpower (MoM) has outlined its plans to address a critical rise in vehicular accidents, focusing on driver fatigue.

This is in response to concerns about vehicular accidents being the top cause of workplace deaths in the first half of 2025.

The Ministry said it will continue to engage with employers and industry associations to provide guidelines, including the importance of scheduled rest breaks and effective shift work management.

In addition, MoM is encouraging the use of in-vehicle cameras and sensors that can improve a driver's situational awareness, provide warnings about collision risks, and detect early signs of driver fatigue or distraction.

Furthermore, companies that experience major injuries are now required to engage appointed auditors.

These auditors must carry out safety audits to identify and address systemic gaps, ensuring measures are put in place to prevent the recurrence of similar accidents.

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.
