Budget2019 debate: New app for NSmen to report safety issues Singapore
A new app that allows National Servicemen to report workplace hazards and instantly share them with other servicemen will go on trial at naval bases from this month, said Senior Minister of State for Defence Heng Chee How on Friday .
“So when you are in camp, and if you notice sharp wire fittings that could cause injury, you can take a photo of it using the app, and ‘SafeGuardian’ will inform relevant SAF safety officers so that action can be taken to remove the hazard,” said Heng.SafeGuardian can also provide access to safety checklists on-the-go. These checklists are currently only available on terminals in camps. The app will be implemented in phases to the rest of the SAF as soon as possible.
Training safety in the SAFTraining safety in the SAF has come under close scrutiny following the death of local actor Aloysius Pang during a training exercise in New Zealand in January. Pang, 28, suffered crush injuries when he was unable to avoid a descending gun barrel while servicing a Singapore Self-Propelled Howitzer at Waiouru Training Area.
