 Join the Safety@Work Creative Awards 2012.
Jointly organised by the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Council and Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd (ST Engineering) in collaboration with Ministry of Manpower (MOM), the Safety@Work Creative Awards showcases local students’ creative talents in advocating the importance of safety at the workplace. Accidents at work (especially in factories and heavy industries) affect not only workers, but their families, employers and society at large. Yet, with good safety habits, work-related accidents can be avoided. This competition aims to promote safety at work among the employees, general public and encourage everyone to adopt a safety mindset. The theme for 2012 competition is Safety @ Work, with specific focus on Falls from Height. Falls from Height (or also known as FFH) is seen across all sectors, workplaces and in various types of work. While traditional sectors such as construction, marine and manufacturing, contribute to more severe falls, they are also a common cause of injury in sectors such as logistics, wholesale, retail, administrative and support services. Any work that involves an employee working at height, whether it is reaching up to the top shelf in an office, changing a light bulb or using a ladder to retrieve files, can lead to falls. The competition opens NOW. Competition closes on Thursday 15 March 2012. For more information, please contact:
