SINGAPORE — The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) will be extending the heightened safety period and will impose higher fines on errant companies found to have serious safety breaches.
In a press release on Friday , MOM said the extension will be for three months starting from March 1.
"Based on past trends, periods post-Chinese New Year have had higher workplace injury numbers as companies rush to compensate for workdays lost," said MOM. This is in addition to existing measures where companies may be barred from employing new foreign employees for up to three months. On the other hand, the monthly average number of fatalities for the transportation and storage sector did not improve and the major injuries worsened during the same period.
