New sectors targetted for workplace safety and health

The Workplace Safety and Health campaign for 2011 was launched with new sectors coming under its radar.

The construction sector accounts for the bulk of workplace injuries and fatalities in Singapore. But sectors deemed as less risky -

such as retail, entertainment, administrative services and finance - still account for 30% of work injuries and 6% of fatalities.

The WSH Advocate and Messenger programmes aim to prepare some additional 100,000 companies in these new sectors for the expanded WSH Act from this September.

In 2010, the workplace fatality rate in Singapore stood at 2.2 per 100,000 workers – an all-time low. The national target is 1.8 fatalities per 100,000 workers by year 2018.

To achieve this target, the Ministry of Manpower and the WSH Council will focus on 3 areas: cultivating leadership, raising professionalism, and increasing knowledge of WSH among companies.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
