Tripartite partners open call for workplace safety solutions
Chosen participants may receive up to $200,000 per prototype under AfA-SHEL.
Singapore’s tripartite partners have launched an open call to develop workplace safety and health solutions under the Alliance for Action on Safety and Health for Employment Longevity (AfA-SHEL).
The initiative will focus on injury prevention beyond high-risk workplaces and helping workers return after serious injury or illness.
Another key area is workplace adaptation and job redesign for employees with different physical and health needs.
Around 30 organisations are expected to be selected for a 14-month innovation programme beginning in August and may receive up to $200,000 in funding for each prototype.
Participants will also have access to resource persons and support from an assigned account manager.
Applications are open to Singapore-registered organisations until 31 August.
AfA-SHEL is jointly led by the Ministry of Manpower, the National Trades Union Congress, and the Singapore National Employers Federation.
