Workplace safety code of practice on directors unveiled: Tan

It will boost workplace safety and health standards (WSH).

Minister for Manpower Tan See Leng said the government will unveil a code of practice (COP) and Board of Directors’ WSH Duties, which seeks to distil management principles and safe company practices.

In a speech, he stressed that for a WSH culture to grow, the chief executive and company directors should implement WSH improvements as they control over budget and priority.

The COP will be based into these practices:

• Ensure that WSH is integrated into business decisions and have clear roles and

responsibilities of a Chief Executive and individual members of the Board of Directors in

leading WSH;

• Continuously build a strong WSH culture, set the tone and demonstrate visible

leadership in embodying and communicating effective WSH standards;

• Ensure that WSH management systems are effective and reviewed regularly; and

• Empower workers to be actively engaged in WSH.

More on this topic will be discussed during Plenary 4 of The Singapore WSH Conference 2022.

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.
