SINGAPORE - A public database of company safety records has been expanded to include those outside of the construction sector, to help real estate developers here better choose contractors for their projects.
Introduced in January last year, CheckSafe allows industry players and the public to look up a company's safety statistics, such as workplace fatalities, details of stop-work orders issued over a three-year period, and accolades a firm has received, such as MOM's WSH Award or bizSAFE Award. "As developers, you play a critical role in raising safety standards. You also have tremendous influence as service buyers," he added.
Composition fines for each infringement found during these inspections have also been doubled from $1,000 to $2,000 on average.
