Workplace fatality rate declines in 1H23

Construction and manufacturing sectors are the biggest contributors to fatal and major injuries.

The annualised fatality rate per 100,000 workers dropped by half to 0.8 in 1H23, data from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) showed.

The 1H23 fatality rate per 100,000 workers was also lower than the 1H22 and 2H22 record of 1.6 and 1.3, respectively.

“The improvements reflect the positive outcomes from the Heightened Safety Period (HSP), which ended on 31 May 2023,” said MOM.

“This also places Singapore back on track towards meeting our WSH2028 aspirations of a fatality rate below 1.0 per 100,000 workers,” added MOM.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
