Public consultation for Guidelines on the Implementation of Workplace Safety and Health Management System for the Metalworking Industry

16 Mar 2021 Announcements

The Ministry of Manpower and the Metalworking Industry Safety Promotion Committee had jointly published the Guidelines on the Implementation of Safety Management System for the Metalworking Industry in 2001. With the launch of SS ISO 45001: 2018 (Occupational health and safety management systems – Requirements with guidance for use) framework in 2018, the WSH Council convened a working group comprising industry stakeholders to review the guidelines for alignment to ISO 45001: 2018. 

The working group has prepared a draft copy of the revised guidelines. All 15 elements of the Guidelines, published in 2001, have been integrated into the various sections of the revised guidelines. 

We would like to seek your inputs and suggestions prior to publication. The period of consultation is from 17 March to 16 April 2021.

Download the full draft guidelines for reference and submit your comments by using the public consultation form to contact@wshc.sg  by 16 April 2021.
