WSH Council revokes SHARP award from recipient over undisclosed workplace injuries

The council also banned the company from participating in the WSH Awards for three years.

The Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Council has revoked the Safety and Health Award Recognition for Projects (SHARP) award from a recipient this year after an investigation into the company’s workplace injury history.

The council also imposed a three-year ban on the company from participating in the WSH Awards.

The investigation revealed that the recipient failed to disclose two minor injuries that occurred during their project in 2023.

Following these findings, the WSH Council referred the matter to the Ministry of Manpower to determine whether the company had breached injury reporting laws.

“We remain committed to upholding the integrity of the WSH Awards, and action will be taken against applicants found to have submitted inaccurate, false, or misleading information,” the council said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
