Empowering workers and members of public to raise WSH issues

Workers and members of public can alert MOM on unsafe workplace practices.

To ensure workplace safety, and as part of the Reporting Saves Lives campaign, employers are encouraged to set up an internal reporting framework to encourage workers to report unsafe practices.

Workers should:

  • Alert supervisors of WSH issues they encounter.
  • Be empowered to stop work if they feel that working conditions are unsafe.

Supervisors should:

  • Remove risky conditions for WSH issues raised, and ensure proper controls are implemented.​
  • Alert company management of resources required such as equipment, materials or protective equipment.​

Members of public can also alert MOM on unsafe workplace conditions or an unsafe act.
