MoM simplifies lifting equipment tests for businesses

This will provide flexibility by allowing occupiers to appoint competent persons.

The Ministry of Manpower (MoM) will remove periodic overload testing requirements after lifting equipment registration to strengthen workplace safety and health standards, whilst reducing costs.

This will provide flexibility by allowing occupiers to appoint competent persons or continue with Authorised Examiners to conduct periodic Lifting Gear re-examinations.

Authorised Examiners will still be required for critical inspections such as before first use and after major repairs.

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.
