The WSH Council is pleased to support the Advanced Manufacturing Employees' Union (AMEU) at its recent event under the Work Safe Initiative.

The event brought together employers, workers, WSH practitioners, union leaders and technology providers to explore how robotics and technology can help reduce workplace risks, improve ergonomics, and strengthen worker safety and well-being in the advanced manufacturing sector.

We applaud AMEU for its continued efforts to raise WSH awareness and encourage the adoption of practical, deployable solutions, and look forward to working with industry stakeholders to build safer, smarter and more resilient workplaces. 💪

Ahead of July, when the construction, manufacturing and transport & storage industries typically experience seasonally higher injury rates, the WSH Council urges all companies to remain vigilant and step up measures to safeguard workers’ safety and health.

Companies should strengthen efforts to prevent the common factors contributing to workplace incidents, such as:

💦 Slips, trips, and falls (STF);
⚠️ Falls from height (FFH);
🔧 Failure of structures and equipment;
⚙️ Machine-related incidents; and
🚚 Vehicle-related incidents.

Warmer and drier months may be ahead for Singapore. According to the Meteorological Service Singapore, such conditions are expected from June to October, alongside an increased risk of transboundary haze.

As temperatures rise, so do risks. In hot working environments, pushing through fatigue may seem productive, but it can increase the risk of mistakes, impaired judgement, and heat stress.

🎙️ In Part 1 of our “Let's Talk: Changing Skies, Changing Risks at Work” episode, our guests discuss why rest breaks matter, common misconceptions about productivity, and what organisations can do to better protect workers in a warming climate.

Every day, officers at the Workplace Safety and Health Council work behind the scenes to support safer and healthier workplaces in Singapore. While their responsibilities vary, they share a common commitment to ensuring that workers return home safe and healthy at the end of each day.

Officers such as Jasper, Hafiz and Melissa contribute to this effort through different aspects of the Council’s work. Their roles include engaging industry partners, supporting outreach programmes, and recognising organisations that demonstrate good workplace safety and health practices.

Together, their work supports stronger workplace safety and health practices across Singapore.
