Workplace Safety - Occupational Health and Safety
The Singapore Ministry of Manpower is the responsible authority for occupational safety and health in Singapore. The Workplace Safety and Health Act 2006 addresses requirements for safety and health in workplaces in Singapore.
ISO 45001 is an international standard that specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, which is intended to improve the safety and health of both employees and other personnel.
Introduced in March 2018, ISO 45001 marks a significant step forward to improve occupational health and safety (OHS) worldwide. Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
ISO 45001:2018 supersedes previous occupational health and safety standards, including OHSAS 18001. Organisations that currently hold OHSAS 18001 certification will need to transition to the ISO 45001 standard by March 2021.
