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.
