The Workplace Safety and Health Act (Risk Management Regulations) was
introduced by MOM in September 2006. Under the law, all employers, the self-employed
and principal (including contractors and sub-contractors) to conduct risk assessments

November 2008 are required to conduct risk assessments and implement risk management at

New SGSecure Component : the threat of terrorism in Singapore is real. When a terror
attack occurs in a workplace, business operations will be disrupted, employees may stop
reporting to work, and lives may be lost. Security agencies have stepped up efforts to
better protect Singapore, but every stakeholder needs to play a part. Companies need to
prepare the workforce, protect the workplace and partner the community. The SGSecure
national movement is our community and workforce's response to terror threats. It aims
to sensitise, train and mobilise the workforce to play a part to prevent and deal with a
terrorist attack. In the aftermath, we need to ensure the workforce remains cohesive,
businesses recover quickly, and return to normalcy as soon as possible. With effect from
26 September 2017, managing of terror threats will be part of requirements in the bizSAFE
1, bizSAFE 2 and bizSAFE 3 Risk Management Audit.
