ANNUAL REPORT2015/2016

Second Family

Second Family

In most workplaces, our co-workers are like our second family. We spend most of our working hours with them, forming bonds of mutual trust and friendships over time. We become team members, desk neighbours, lunch buddies, and even close friends. So when workplace accidents happen, it is not unexpected for co-workers to feel just as distressed as the affected individual and their loved ones.

How did they feel seeing their friend in a life-changing accident? Do they take more caution now when performing the same task? What would they do differently to prevent the accident from happening again?

In the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Council’s and WSH Institute’s Annual Report FY2015, we explore the emotional impact of workplace accidents on our co-workers. Here they share how accidents that happened in their workplace have since influenced the way they view WSH, and why it is always important to practise good WSH to prevent the next accident from happening.

One major outcome for the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Council is to bring about a mindset in both employers and employees that all incidents are preventable. Together with the strengthening of WSH capabilities, we can ensure that everyone goes home safe and healthy to their families.

To achieve these objectives, the WSH Council launched the Vision Zero movement in 2015 to get everyone to embrace a mindset that all accidents and ill health are preventable. Processes and regulations are important for good safety and health performance at the workplace. To prevent workplace accidents, we must first adopt the mindset that all workplace accidents can be prevented. The National Workplace Safety and Health (NWSH) Campaign message for 2015 “I can prevent all injuries and be healthy at work”, highlights the intent of the Vision Zero movement. Through the Campaign, we raised the awareness of the movement to over 100,000 workers in the past year.

Leadership is key to cultivate a culture of prevention. With this in mind, the WSH Council organised the inaugural Construction WSH Leadership Summit in 2015. Leaders from construction industry associations reaffirmed their commitment to reduce the sector’s workplace fatality rate to less than 1.8

per 100,000 workers by 2018. The industry also put together a set of WSH action plans on how it could work towards achieving better WSH outcomes. This example of industry ownership and partnership is a step in the right direction and we hope to see more of such collaborative efforts among stakeholders.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is a focus area of the WSH Council as they account for 65% of our total workforce based on a 2015 report. In 2015, we are pleased to collaborate with SPRING Singapore to further strengthen the WSH capabilities of SMEs. In October 2015, the WSH Council has been appointed as SPRING Singapore’s partner to drive WSH efforts in SMEs. Through this programme, SMEs, which have yet to embark on bizSAFE, can apply for SPRING’s Capability Development Grant (CDG) to achieve bizSAFE Level Star. The grant will enable SMEs to defray up to 70 per cent of the cost of completing the programme.

While we have made significant strides in WSH, more work remains to be done. In 2015, 66 individuals lost their lives due to workplace related accidents. These accidents could have been prevented.

Therefore, I would like to urge one and all to work together with WSH Council to prevent the next accident. WSH is everyone’s responsibility and fellow co-workers must keep each other safe from fatal or serious injury.

Our theme for this year’s Annual Report — “Second Family” aims to remind us of the emotional turmoil experienced by employees who saw their colleagues injured. In this report, we interviewed four individuals who shared their emotional struggle caused by workplace accidents. From Chong Wah, who witnessed how his friend’s life changed as a result of an accident, to Eldrick who saw his staff get hurt not long after starting his career in the manufacturing industry. All of them shared the same regret and sorrow. Amid the grim responses, we can also sense hope and determination by these individuals to prevent further injuries at the workplace.

I am convinced that through the commitment and concerted efforts from all our partners, we would be able to foster a safer work environment. Let us all adopt a mindset that all incidents are preventable and work towards strengthening WSH capabilities so that everyone may go home safe and healthy every day.

the monthly OWLinks newsletter to provide latest information on trends affecting WSH and strengthened the National Library Board-WSH Institute collection in our public libraries. All these products have helped to inform policymakers, and enabled enforcement and engagement officers and industries to prioritise their WSH prevention programmes.

Create Knowledge for Industry Application

In this fiscal year, 14 research projects were completed and work is on-going to translate the research findings into policies and practice. Industry and policymakers have already been updated on some of the research findings, such as during a Visiting Expert Series session in February 2016 to share on nanomaterial risks in the workplace. More will be shared over the coming months. To assist industry with solutions for complex multi-stakeholder WSH problems, the Institute introduced “Solutioning Suite” which was announced by the Minister for Manpower, Mr Lim Swee Say, during the 2015 National WSH Awards. Through the Solutioning Sessions, the Institute aims to understand WSH issues better and to co-create solutions with relevant stakeholders.

WSH Institute’s Plans for 2016

Moving forward to 2016, the WSH Institute will continue to conduct applied translational

research, focusing in a few key areas, whilst striving to further excel in business analytics and provision of timely and useful information and statistics. In view of the recent spate of fatal accidents, the Institute will focus on identifying potential root causes and to provide evidence to support initiatives, working in collaboration with WSH Council and MOM to halt the situation. Construction sector and work related traffic accidents would be key focal areas for research in FY2016. The Institute will continue to strengthen its collaboration and partnership with local and overseas research institutions, Institutions of Higher Learning, and experts, so as to build local expertise to manage WSH issues in Singapore and to be the think-tank on WSH for Singapore.

Thank you.

“The loss of his finger reminds him constantly of an injury that could have been prevented.”

Tan Chong Wah



A HAND IN KEEPING THEM SAFE

Tan Chong Wah is a warehouse assistant with over 30 years of industry experience. At work, he is in charge of manually moving heavy wooden planks weighing up to 50kg, in teams of two. As a result of pinch point hazards associated with his job, Chong Wah has grown accustomed to sustaining minor injuries, and accepts them as part and parcel of the job. It was not until 3 years ago, when Chong Wah witnessed his first major accident at work, did he fully understand the importance of adopting good safety practices in the workplace.

Together with another co-worker, Chong Wah was transporting a batch of heavy wooden planks when his co-worker’s hands slipped, causing the planks to fall and crush the latter’s finger. The crushed finger then had to be amputated, and the injury greatly affected his co-worker as the loss of a finger required him to make a few lifestyle changes such as using a different hand to hold chopsticks.

As he had worked closely with his co-worker, Chong Wah saw first-hand how the injury affected him emotionally. The permanent loss of his finger served as a daily reminder of an injury that could easily have been prevented, if only he had worn non-slip gloves.

Today, Chong Wah stresses the importance of workplace safety to his new trainees, and always makes the extra effort to ensure that all safety precautions are taken before work starts. He shared that safety is not something we should take for granted and the injuries suffered at work could potentially be life-changing.

ENGAGEMENT AND

OUTREACH

This section takes a look at the different ways we reach out and engage our diverse audience.

Here, we also share how we spread the WSH message to inspire everyone into taking greater ownership of their safety and health at work,

as well as those around them.

NATIONAL WSH (NWSH) CAMPAIGN 2015

The annual National WSH Campaign was launched on 24 April 2015 at the Playspace@SCAPE. The campaign theme “I can prevent all injuries and be healthy at work”, sets the stage for the year-long campaign. The Vision Zero movement, aimed at encouraging companies and individuals to adopt a mindset that all injuries and ill health at work are preventable, was also launched by Guest-of-Honour, then-Minister of Manpower, Mr Tan Chuan-Jin. Popular singing duo, Jack and Rai, also lent their creative talents to create the WSH promotional song “Safe and Sound” to inspire everyone to be safe at work, as part of the Vision Zero movement.

Throughout the year, the WSH Council created awareness of the Vision Zero movement through different channels, including digital and social media such as Facebook and YouTube, print media, and out-of-home platforms such as buses and MRT station wallscapes. 500 industry banners were also produced and given to the industry to help spread the message. The WSH Council also engaged the media on a regular basis to highlight the importance of WSH.

In November 2015, to emphasise the message on prevention, the WSH Council organised a campaign focusing on falls prevention. This was to remind everyone that seemingly small things such as poor housekeeping, could lead to major accidents. As part of the campaign, the WSH Council published a series of print advertisements, bus advertisements and developed a new webisode.


WSH AWARDS 2015

The annual WSH Awards celebrates the best in Workplace Safety and Health (WSH), and recognises companies and individuals for their commitment and outstanding performance in WSH. Jointly organised by the WSH Council and the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), and supported by the WSH Institute, 191 companies and individuals were honoured at the ceremony which was held on 18 July 2015 at Resorts World Sentosa. Guest-of-Honour, Minister for Manpower, Mr Lim Swee Say, congratulated the winners and highlighted the importance of inculcating a pervasive WSH culture to sustain outstanding WSH performance.

WSH SONG WRITING COMPETITION

On 18 September 2015, to promote the Vision Zero movement to the industry and the community at large, the WSH Council started the WSH Song Writing Competition. YouTube influencers, ShiLi and Adi, conducted a series of performances through the WSH promotional song “Safe and Sound” to the lunchtime crowd at China Square, before singing their way through AMK Hub, U-Town at the National University of Singapore, Tampines Mall, and finally ending their performance at The Leo — a foreign workers’ dormitory.

CRANE SAFETY SYMPOSIUM 2015

More than 300 industry partners and stakeholders from the crane industry attended the annual Crane Safety Symposium on 7 October 2015. Guest-of-Honour, Minister of State (MOS) for Prime Minister’s Office and MOM, Mr Sam Tan,

page 24


highlighted the importance of crane safety, pointed out the impact that crane accidents had on the safety and health of workers and people nearby, and how the true cost of workplace accidents was borne by workers, their families, and the public.

MOS Tan also shared upcoming initiatives by the WSH Council and MOM to raise crane safety standards such as enhanced medical examination requirements for crane operators to improve employability of crane operators, and raising the competency of mini crane operators with specialised training courses.

CEO LUNCH DIALOGUES

To garner top management’s commitment to WSH, the WSH Council embarked on a series of CEO lunch dialogues with Minister of State, Prime Minister’s Office and MOM, Mr Sam Tan. Feedback from the lunch dialogue sessions were collated, and where applicable, incorporated into action plans to improve WSH in the industry.

CONSTRUCTION WSH LEADERSHIP SUMMIT 2015

More than 300 leaders from the construction industry attended the Construction Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Leadership Summit 2015 organised by the WSH Council on 7 July 2015.

At the Summit, leaders from 8 construction industry associations, together with the Public Sector WSH Commitment Group and the Building Construction and Timber Industries Employees’ Union (BATU), reaffirmed their commitment to reduce the workplace fatality rate in the industry to less than 1.8 per 100,000 workers by 2018.

To achieve this goal, leaders from the construction industry put together the Construction Industry WSH Action Plans 2015 which focused on key areas of influence such as Leadership, Procurement, and Design for Safety (DfS). The industry associations would work with each other to improve the safety performance of the construction sector.

In his speech, Guest-of-Honour, Minister for Manpower, Mr Lim Swee Say, emphasised that MOM would support the action plans with government initiatives, including:

• WSH (DfS) Regulations that outline the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved in construction projects are now mandatory for projects of a contract value of $10 million and above;

• Working closely with the industry to train 1,000 DfS professionals by 2018 and reviewing existing DfS courses; and

• Implementing the Developer & Designer Early Engagement (D2E2) programme to engage developers and designers at the earlier stages of a construction project to achieve better WSH outcomes.

FOREIGN WORKERS’ PUBLIC AND DORMITORY ROADSHOWS

More than 1,200 workers attended the Foreign Workers’ Public Roadshow on 1 February 2015, which was organised by the WSH Council, in collaboration with MOM, National Environment Agency, and Singapore Police Force. Workers were taught about WSH hazards, and learned how they could keep themselves safe at work through skits.

The WSH Council also promoted WSH in non-commercial and private dormitories through 12 roadshows, reaching out to 30,000 workers. WSH messages were communicated to them in a fun and relaxed way through games, quizzes and skits.

MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS (MSD) SYMPOSIUM

More than 200 participants attended the Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) Symposium on 6 October 2015, co-organised by the WSH Council and MOM. The aim of the symposium was to raise awareness of the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD) at work. Participants were educated about the risk factors of WRMSD, as well as measures to prevent them.

SAFE HANDS FORUM

More than 300 participants from various industries attended the Safe Hands Forum organised by the WSH Council on 6 October 2015. The forum brought together industry players to learn about preventing hand and finger injuries in the food manufacturing and furniture manufacturing industries.

SAFETY STARTS WITH ME COMPETITION

The annual competition is a creative avenue for participants to express the importance of WSH artistically. The theme in 2015 was “How you work is how you live”. The competition reached a wide audience ranging from students to members of the workforce. 38 winners emerged from 1,058 entries. The winning entries were showcased at the launch of the National WSH Campaign 2015.

TOTAL WORKPLACE SAFETY AND HEALTH (TOTAL WSH) OUTREACH

On 30 March 2016, more than 50 union leaders from the house unions, omnibus unions, and industrial unions participated actively in a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on Total WSH conducted by the WSH Council. The participants were given customised analysis reports with practical recommendations to address the company’s existing gaps in implementing Total WSH after the discussion.

WSH FORUM ON GOOD HOUSEKEEPING IN THE WORKPLACE

On 3 September 2015, the WSH Council Logistic and Transport (L&T) Committee, with support from the Singapore Manufacturing Federation (SMF), organised a WSH forum on Good Housekeeping in the Workplace. Engaging over 250 participants mainly from the L&T sector, L&T Committee Chairman, Mr Tan Puay Hin, highlighted 3 key benefits of good housekeeping — preventing accidents, projecting a good business image, and improving business operations.

“When we work together, we have to support one another and care for each other. We are just like a family.”

Myat Thu



MORE LIKE A FAMILY

For Myat Thu, a supervisor with OHM Engineering Pte Ltd, the 20 workers under his charge are somewhat like an extended family to him. Although his workers are of different nationalities and backgrounds, they work together, share meals, and support each other, just like a family would.

As a part of this sprawling family, Myat Thu greatly cares for his workers and takes serious responsibility for their workplace safety and health (WSH). It is his honest wish to see every single one of his workers return home safe to their families when they complete their term of work in Singapore. While he is thankful that he has never had to experience a major workplace accident in all his years of working, he still does feel a sense of guilt for letting his workers down when they suffer minor injuries such as getting caught in pinch point hazards.

Whenever he receives a WSH Council bulletin on workplace fatalities, or hears of major accidents happening to other workers in the industry, Myat Thu will try to learn from the mistakes that led to those incidents and make sure that the mistakes are never repeated by his workers. To ensure their safety at the workplace, he will conduct toolbox meetings in the mornings and perform last-minute risk assessments with his workers to inform them of work hazards before they commence any work on sites.

BUILDING WSH

CAPABILITIES

We believe that building WSH capabilities will empower employers and organisations with the

knowledge to better protect themselves and their workers. This section highlights the various ways we work with the industry to improve

WSH capabilities across the board.

bizSAFE PROGRAMME

The bizSAFE programme was launched in 2007 to help small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) raise their WSH management capabilities through a 5-step approach. As of 31 March 2016, there were 24,317 bizSAFE Enterprises, 355 bizSAFE Partners, and 17 bizSAFE Mentors participating in the programme.

bizSAFE Convention 2016

More than 800 participants attended the 8th annual bizSAFE Convention on 17 February 2016 at Singapore Expo. Themed “bizSAFE — Prevent, Protect and Build Capabilities”, the Convention aims to encourage SMEs to embark on their WSH journey through the bizSAFE programme.

Guest-of-Honour, Minister of State (MOS) for Manpower, Mr Teo Ser Luck, highlighted the importance of good WSH management in saving and protecting employees’ lives at work, and how employers had a legal and moral obligation to provide safe and healthy workplaces for employees.

bizSAFE Service Provider (BSP) Forum 2015

More than 77 stakeholders from 47 BSPs attended the bizSAFE Service Provider Forum organised by the WSH Council on 18 June 2015. The participants learnt about the latest bizSAFE developments and were updated on the expectations and management of the bizSAFE programmes.

Capability Development Grant (CDG) for bizSAFE

The WSH Council has been appointed as SPRING Singapore’s partner in driving the adoption of Occupational Health and Safety (OSH)-related

standards. With effect from 1 October 2015, SMEs which have yet to embark on bizSAFE can apply for the CDG to achieve bizSAFE Level Star. The CDG defrays up to 70% of the cost of completing the project, capped at $6,000, and covers Level 1 workshop, Level 3 Risk Management Audit, Level Star audited to SS506, and consultancy works in preparation for both audits.

CultureSAFE PROGRAMME

The CultureSAFE programme was launched in September 2012 to guide companies in developing and sustaining a progressive and pervasive WSH culture. The programme comprises a WSH culture model and index system, specific diagnostics instruments, to appraise the WSH culture developmental status of the organisation. With the results, organisations could then formulate appropriate plans and implement suitable initiatives to enhance their respective WSH culture’s attributes and dimensions. As of 31 March 2016, 251 non-SMEs and 420 SMEs had participated in the programme.

SAFETY COMPLIANCE ASSISTANCE VISITS (SCAV)

Safety Compliance Assistance Visits (SCAV) is a complimentary on-site WSH advisory service specially designed to assist SMEs in enhancing their WSH management. SCAV assigns a WSH professional to conduct a joint workplace assessment with the management of the participant company. During the visit, the WSH professional will highlight WSH lapses observed and recommend appropriate control measures to management. The WSH professional will also share WSH resources and programmes that could help the company on their WSH journey. The WSH Council reached out to 5,884 SMEs in FY2015.

WSH FORUM ON ENHANCING SAFE USE OF CRANES

More than 250 crane owners and occupiers attended the WSH Forum for Enhancing Safe Use of Cranes on 10 June 2015 organised by the WSH Council and MOM, with support from the Association of Singapore Marine Industries (ASMI), Singapore Crane Association (SCA), and Singapore Contractors Association Limited (SCAL). Attendees were informed about MOM’s requirements for data-loggers in new and existing mobile cranes, and how they could apply for data-logger funding.

WORKPLACE BEHAVIOURAL OBSERVATION AND INTERVENTION (BO&I) WORKSHOP FOR CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES

The WSH Council and MOM organised a Workplace BO&I Workshop held on 27 October 2015. The workshop focused on guiding chemical companies into

“We must all take responsibility for WSH at work. Even the smallest mistake can lead to an accident.”

Eldrick Saw



BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY

At just a young 22 years of age, Eldrick Saw witnessed his first workplace accident. Fresh out of university and in his first assignment as a supervisor in the manufacturing industry, he saw one of his workers suffer an injury by getting his hand caught in a machine at the workshop. The incident proved difficult for Eldrick to witness as a leader of his team, and left a significant impact on him.

Today, as a Machine Shop Supervisor with Halliburton managing more than 50 workers, Eldrick has made workplace safety a top priority for his team. His previous experience with a workplace accident has taught him that safety should never be taken for granted, and even the smallest mistakes can lead to major consequences. To ensure that his team is working safely, he encourages open communication on workplace safety and health (WSH) issues among his workers.

Eldrick is also inspired by his company’s commitment to safety and advocacy of a bottom-up approach to safety, where even the most junior worker is able to stop work if they feel that the activity is unsafe. It is such initiatives that help to build a positive WSH culture in the industry, with safety always being on the top of everyone’s mind.

We continually raise WSH standards in Singapore through our guides, guidelines and Codes of

Practices. These publications guide and shape WSH policies and push WSH trainers towards

meeting higher WSH standards. Our publications can be found on the WSH Council website at

www.wshc.sg/resources

COMPETENCY AND QUALITY ASSURANCE AUDIT

In FY2015, the WSH Council stepped up its enforcement efforts on errant Accredited Training Providers (ATPs) that have breached the MOM ATP terms and conditions. 8 errant ATPs had their ATP status revoked because of fraudulent practices.

NEW AND UPDATED CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT ADVISORIES

The Curriculum Development Advisory (CDA) are documents to assist MOM Accredited Training Providers (ATPs) with the instructions needed for a competency-based training course. In 2015, the WSH Council developed the Managing of Work at Heights (WAH) course; Lifting Supervisor Safety course; Rigger and Signalman course; Boom-Lift Operator course; Scissor Lift Operator course; and Vertical Work Platform Operator course. In addition, the existing CDA for Formwork Safety Course for Supervisor and the Design for Safety Course for Professionals were enhanced and updated according to the relevant legislation and requirements.

ASSISTANCE ON DESIGN FOR SAFETY (DfS) —GUIDELINES AND VIDEO

A draft of the DfS Guidelines was made available for public comments in February 2016. The DfS video provides an overview of the responsibilities of stakeholders under the WSH (DfS) Regulations.

e-LEARNING — SAFETY FIRST WITH KEN AND FRIENDS

The e-learning module allows users to learn about safety and health through online courses. Safety First with Ken and Friends provides upper Primary and Secondary students with basic knowledge on spotting safety and health hazards, and its preventive measures.

GUIDE TO GOOD WSH PRACTICES PICTOGRAMS

This publication standardises the pictograms for good WSH practices. Comprising WSH-related messages, these pictograms serve as reminders for workers before they begin work. Good and bad practices are shown as pictograms so that workers can understand the intended messages better.

iWSH NEWSLETTERS

The iWSH newsletter was created by the WSH Council to reach out to workers on the ground and educate them on what they can do to keep themselves safe and healthy at work. Each issue, which reaches out to almost 120,000 workers, is published in easy-to-read English, Mandarin, Tamil, and Bengali. It highlights safety tips and the importance of WSH in case studies, quizzes, and interviews with workers. The newsletters are distributed to Accredited Training Providers, foreign workers dormitories, shipyards, construction sites, and other public venues.

ENHANCED RM VIDEO

The video highlights the changes on the Risk Management (RM) framework. The enhanced RM places emphasis on pragmatic approach to effective upstream risk control through elimination, substitution and engineering controls.

ROVING WSH EXHIBITS

The mobile WSH exhibits that the WSH Council produced have been travelling to companies and organisations for safety campaigns. Featuring interactive stations and games on WSH issues that affect employees, these exhibits highlight to viewers what they need to do to protect themselves at work. In 2015, the roving WSH exhibits reached out to over 55,000 workers at 79 locations.

SHINE NEWSLETTER

SHINE is the WSH Council’s corporate newsletter that reaches out to over 20,000 subscribers. The newsletter targets management and WSH professionals who are involved in making decisions on the behalf of their employees. Each issue features current WSH news, interviews, business and productivity matters relating to WSH, past case studies and best practices. The newsletter is also a useful resource to be updated on policy changes, WSH statistics, new publications and other resources.

WORK AT HEIGHTS (WAH) TOOL KIT

To raise awareness of Work At Heights (WAH) issues, a pocket-sized Teaching Aid with daily pointers on WAH safety was produced to help supervisors enhance their communication with workers during their daily safety meetings.

WSH BULLETIN

The WSH Bulletin is an e-newsletter that keeps over 64,000 subscribers up-to-date on WSH-related news and developments in Singapore and overseas. The bulletin features case studies and learning points, best practices, statistics on WSH matters, and articles on safety and health. Subscribers are also informed of upcoming and past events organised by the WSH Council and its partners.

In addition, the WSH Council also publishes the WSH Alert, which keeps readers informed of recent WSH incidents, highlights learning points and provide recommendations on how similar incidents can be prevented.

WSH GUIDELINES FOR FLAMMABLE MATERIALS

Fires can cause extensive damage to property, serious injuries and the loss of lives. The use of flammable materials at workplaces increases the risk of a fire outbreak. The WSH Guidelines for Flammable Materials provides practical guidance on risk control measures that can be implemented to ensure the safety and health of workers who handle flammable materials daily.

WSH GUIDELINES FOR HEALTHCARE

The healthcare industry in Singapore is growing and adapting to new challenges in order to meet the growing healthcare demand. The WSH Guidelines for Healthcare highlights information on the potential and common hazards faced by healthcare employees, and good industry WSH practices that prevent and control these hazards.

WSH GUIDELINES FOR TENT-RELATED WORKS

The WSH Guidelines for Tent-Related Works was published in both English and Mandarin versions to address all tent-related hazards in a holistic, safe and healthy manner. It was drafted in consultation with the WSH Council (Tentage Safety) Working Group and included views gathered from public consultation. Some of the key work activities covered are warehouse storage, transportation of materials, erecting and dismantling of tent structures, and handling of electrical installations.

WSH TRAINING RECORDS SYSTEM

The Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Training Records System (TRS) was launched on 29 January 2016. The TRS allows training providers to easily mark and upload assessment reports to MOM, for the issuance and renewal of workers’ work permit. The TRS also captures and stores all WSH training records conducted by the training providers to facilitate management of WSH training in Singapore.

“Accidents at work affects everyone. From other workers to his family at home. We must all work safely, so that everyone can go home safely after work.”

Hossain Md Zakir



WSH, EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBILITY

In 2011, Hossain Md Zakir experienced first-hand how a major injury could affect one’s life when a co-worker had an accident with the machine he was working on. His co-worker was distracted while using the machine to cut metal plates when the machine’s blade rebounded and hit his leg, leaving a deep 4-inch wound.

Seeing his co-worker get injured led Hossain to immediately think of his co-worker’s family back in his home country, and how this injury could possibly impact their livelihood. As he watched his co-worker suffer from both physical pain and emotional trauma caused by the accident, Hossain made a promise to be an advocate for workplace safety, so that such accidents would not happen again.

As a WSH Supervisor with Progressive Builders Pte Ltd, Hossain emphasises on work and safety coming together as one. He takes it upon himself to be kept constantly up-to-date on WSH matters by attending courses that would help him be better able to identify and prevent WSH issues at work. Hossain also tries to understand his workers’ strengths and weaknesses, and then advise them accordingly on working safe. He feels proud when each and every one of his workers go home safe at the end of the day, and points out that all the WSH initiatives he has rolled out would not have been possible without the management’s support.
