Compliance With Government Regulations
• Compliance with government regulations in accordance with workplace safety and health
(WSH) in Singapore is of paramount importance for several reasons:
Worker Safety and Well- Global Business

Financial Implications
being Opportunities
Reduction in Workplace Reputation and Brand

Preventive Approach
Accidents Image
Productivity and Employee Morale and

Workforce Engagement
Efficiency Retention
Legal Compliance Competitive Advantage Continuous Improvement
www.petreltech.com
1.Worker Safety and Well-being: The
primary and most critical reason for WSH
compliance is to ensure the safety and
well-being of all workers. Adhering to
regulations helps prevent accidents,
injuries, and illnesses in the workplace,
ultimately protecting the lives and health
of employees.
2.Reduction in Workplace Accidents:

Compliance with WSH regulations leads
to a safer work environment, which, in
turn, reduces the likelihood of workplace
accidents. Fewer accidents mean fewer
injuries, lower healthcare costs, and less
downtime due to work-related injuries.
www.petreltech.com
3.Productivity and Efficiency: Safe
and healthy workers are more
productive and efficient. When
employees feel secure in their
workplace, they can focus better on
their tasks and perform their duties
without the fear of accidents or
illnesses.
4.Legal Compliance: Failure to

comply with WSH regulations can
lead to severe legal consequences,
including fines, penalties, and legal
action against the employer.
Compliance helps organizations
avoid legal liabilities and maintain a
good reputation.
www.petreltech.com
5.Financial Implications: Workplace
accidents and injuries can result in
significant financial burdens for
employers. Compliance with WSH
regulations can help reduce insurance
premiums and compensation costs
associated with workplace incidents.
6.Reputation and Brand Image:

Companies that prioritize WSH
compliance tend to have a better
reputation in the market. A strong
commitment to safety can enhance a
company's brand image and attract both
customers and talent.
www.petreltech.com
7.Employee Morale and Retention:
Employees are more likely to stay with an
organization that demonstrates a genuine
concern for their safety and health.
Compliance with WSH regulations can
improve employee morale and reduce
turnover.
8.Competitive Advantage: In industries

where safety is a key concern, compliance
with WSH regulations can provide a
competitive advantage. It can be a selling
point when attracting clients or partners
who prioritize safety standards.
www.petreltech.com
9.Global Business Opportunities:
Companies that adhere to WSH
regulations in Singapore are better
positioned to expand their business
globally. Many international clients and
partners require suppliers and
collaborators to meet certain safety
standards.
10.Preventive Approach: WSH

regulations often require organizations to
adopt a preventive approach to safety,
identifying hazards and implementing
measures to mitigate them before
accidents occur. This proactive stance
helps prevent incidents rather than
reacting to them.
www.petreltech.com
11.Workforce Engagement: Involving
employees in safety initiatives and complying
with WSH regulations fosters a culture of
safety within the organization. Engaged
employees are more likely to contribute to
safety improvements and report potential
hazards.
12.Continuous Improvement: Compliance

with WSH regulations encourages
organizations to continuously review and
enhance their safety practices. This ongoing
commitment to improvement can lead to
better safety outcomes over time.

Major Hazard Installations
• Safety Case Regime for MHIs
• How Safety Case Regime applies to MHIs in accordance with the Workplace Safety and
Health (MHI) Regulations.
• Workplace Safety and Health (MHI) Regulations

• MHIs are covered by the Workplace Safety and Health (MHI) Regulations.
• What are MHIs

• MHIs comprise:
• Petroleum refining facilities.
• Petrochemical manufacturing facilities.
• Chemical processing plants.
• Installations where large quantities of toxic and flammable substances are stored or
used.
• The definition of a workplace as an MHI depends on:
• The nature of work activities.
• The inventory levels of the dangerous substances (present, or likely to be present)
meeting or exceeding threshold quantities.
www.petreltech.com
• Safety Case Regime
• While the likelihood of a major accident is low for MHIs, their complex operating
environment and large volumes of highly hazardous chemicals mean that any accident
can potentially result in catastrophic consequences.
• The core feature of the WSH (MHI) Regulations is the Safety Case Regime. This regime
allows flexibility for MHIs to tailor their risk mitigating measures, enabling MHIs to
address their risk in a more holistic manner.
• Under the Safety Case Regime, MHIs are expected to:
• Take on greater responsibilities.

• Proactively identify and manage Safety Health and Environment (SHE) risks through
integration of all SHE protocols.
• Demonstrate to regulators that their risks are as low as reasonably practicable.
www.petreltech.com
• What is a Safety Case
• A Safety Case is commonly presented using (and communicated through) a structured set of
documentation that focuses on how major accidents are prevented at MHIs, and how the
consequences to people and the vicinity are limited.
• MHIs must keep and maintain Safety Cases for their installations.

Provision of information
• As an MHI, you are required to provide and share information with other workplaces within the
affected area.
• Why share
• In accordance with the WSH (MHI) Regulations, you are required to share information with
workplaces in the affected area.
• This is because these workplaces could be impacted by major accidents that occur at your
MHI.
• Sharing information enables affected workplaces to plan accordingly for their major accident
prevention policy and emergency response.
• Who to share with

• After assessing your safety case, MHD will inform you the workplaces in the affected area that
you are required to share information with.
• Affected workplaces can be:
• Designated groups of MHI
• Non-MHI workplaces
www.petreltech.com
• What to share
• As an MHI, you must share the information listed in the
Fifth Schedule of WSH (MHI) Regulations with the affected workplaces.
• The information must:
• Be suitable, updated and relevant.
• Focus on the consequences due to the inherent nature and presence of dangerous
substances onsite. Causes of the potential major accidents are not required.
• Help affected parties to:
• Identify hazards.
• Understand potential hazards and nature of major accidents.
• Estimate consquences of major accidents.
• Take measures to mitigate risks, where reasonably practicable.
• Assess suitability of existing evacuation routes or mustering points.
• Assess impact on infrastructure, equipment and buildings.
• These are the key information to be shared with affected workplaces:
• Nature of major accident hazards
• How affected workplaces will be alerted
• Recommended actions for affected workplaces
www.petreltech.com
• When to review
• You must review and, where necessary, revise the information provided to affected
workplaces if there’re any changes in critical information. For example, a change in contact
person, new harm footprints, etc.
• The information should be shared every five years or when it is revised.
• This ensures that affected workplaces are updated when there are any changes.
• How to share
• You need to meet with other MHIs in your designated group to exchange information. You
need to document the information shared and received.
• When sharing information with non-MHIs, you could use one-way communication media,
such as pamphlets, letters, etc.
• However, you should still be prepared to receive and answer queries raised by non-MHIs.
This will allow non-MHIs to better understand major accident hazards and risks.

Workplace Safety And Health Training
• Apply Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points
• The CPD programme and its underlying SDU framework aims to help workplace safety and
health (WSH) officers stay up to date with changing industry needs and remain competent in
the evolving environment. If you are a WSH officer, you are required to take part in the CPD
programme.
• What is the CPD programme
• The CPD programme requires WSH officers (WSHOs) to participate in activities to get
Safety Development Units (SDUs) to renew their certificate.
www.petreltech.com
• From 1 January 2023, the revised SDU framework will take effect.
• Key Changes
• The revised SDU framework will be based on three categories:
1. WSH in-employment practice
2. Attending accredited training such as workshops, seminars, conferences, and formal
studies
3. Other WSH contributions or attending unaccredited WSH training
• For category 2 - attending accredited training, SDUs will be awarded to training courses
approved by the CPD Board based on two tiers, and training courses that award SDUs will
be expanded to include selected soft skills, WSH technology, and non-WSH related courses
assessed by the CPD Board to contribute to WSHOs’ professionalism.
• The previous practice of allowing up to 10 structured SDUs to be carried over to the next
renewal period will cease, to simplify the process of renewal and to encourage continuous
learning for WSHOs as WSH professionals.
• Find out more about the revised SDU framework or read more on the FAQs.
www.petreltech.com
• Apply SDU points for training or events organized
• If you organise WSH training or events, you can

apply for your activities to be approved for SDU points under the CPD programme.
• Applications are processed by the SISO Secretariat.
• Find out more about the guidelines, criteria and application process.
• Applications that do not meet the criteria will be rejected. You can appeal for
reconsideration; for example, if the application is beneficial to the WSH community but does
not meet the existing criteria.
• Appeals will be referred to the Board for evaluation and decision.
www.petreltech.com
Check A Worker's Training Records
• You can view a worker’s past training records online to check if they have met their
training requirements.
• To check a worker’s training records, you need the worker’s NRIC, FIN or Work Permit
number (for Work Permit holders).

workers and others affected by work.
What is the Workplace Safety and Health Act
The Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Act is an essential part of a framework to cultivate
good safety habits in all individuals, so as to create a strong safety culture in workplaces.

create.
• Encourage industries to adopt greater ownership of safety and health outcomes.
• Impose higher penalties for poor safety management and outcomes.
