 TOWARDS VISION ZERO – AN IMPOSSIBLE JOURNEY? by MR CHAN YEW KWONG
TheVision Zero(VZ)movement wasstarted in 2015 at the launch of the national WSHCampaign
2015. The Campaign’s message was “I can prevent all injuries and be healthy at work”. Through the
movement, MOM, WSHC and strategic industry stakeholders aim to bring all employers and
employees together to embrace the mindset that all injuries and ill health at work can be prevented
and abelief that zeroharm ispossible.

VZ was started from Sweden. In 1997, the Swedish Parliament introduced a VZ policy that requires
fatalities and serious injuries on its roads be reduced to zero. Its VZ’s concept changes the focus,
from the prevention of accidents, to inculcating the view that no one should lose their lives or be
seriously injured on theroad.

Is VZ at workplaces an impossible journey? This paper shares the ongoing VZ journey for WSH in
Singapore.

EMBRACING VISION ZERO WITH TECHNOLOGY AND GOOD JUDGMENT by MR STANLEY JOSEPH
Work environments should be predictable places where people are risk-conscious and
trained to apply functional precautions without compromises - employers have an obligation
to ensure safe work environment for employees.

While Functional Safety standards define Safety as the absence of unacceptable or

unreasonable risk, it might sound idealistic to base strategy-selection for protective systems,
on the core principle of Vision Zero that "it can never be ethically acceptable that people are
killed or seriously injured while working". The collective aim is to make possible, a world of
work without accidents and serious injury through a transformational approach to
Prevention.

The advent of the Industry 4.0 and IIoT is propelling new capabilities and approach, which
focuses heavily on interconnectivity, automation, machine learning, and real-time data, but
the challenge is to use these capabilities (and information) in the best possible way.
Likewise, it is important to realize that the need for tried and tested visual and physical
means to prevent harm still holds true even today. Some examples of use of Technology in
the Machinery space as well as simple yet highly effective traditional Safety Solution will be
discussed.
Mr. Stanley Joseph is with Rockwell Automation as Consulting Manager (Functional Safety), Asia-Pacific. His main area of
involvement is in Failure Analysis, Asset Integrity Management, IDMS; Risk-Reduction, Failsafe design and Fault-tolerance
in engineered hardware and software control systems (Safety IS). He has experience in Auditing conformity to International

safety and local regulation in basis-of-design (BoD), procedures, worker and public safety. Stanley is a Functional Safety
Expert, SIS (TUV Rheinland).
