🚛 Safety is everyone's responsibility! From safe driving and vehicle maintenance to loading and unloading operations, every precaution counts. Let's use this Safety Time-Out to identify risks, prevent accidents and keep our roads and workplaces safe! 🦺

The recent workplace fatalities in the Construction and Transportation & Storage industries are a grave reminder that workplace safety and health (WSH) cannot be taken for granted.

To reinforce WSH, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) is calling on companies in both industries to conduct a voluntary Safety Time-Out (STO) from 5 to 18 October 2026.

Companies are encouraged to review their WSH procedures, strengthen risk controls, and address safety gaps, with particular focus on the safe use of concrete pumps and vehicle rollaway prevention measures, including ensuring handbrakes are engaged before drivers leave their vehicles and using wheel chocks where appropriate.

In addition to the voluntary STO, MOM will implement enhanced enforcement measures in both industries from 5 October to 4 November 2026, to strengthen deterrence and accountability:

● Increasing the composition fine quantum for offences from $2,000 to $3,000 for first-time offences, with higher composition fines for repeat or more serious offences
● Increasing the minimum duration of Stop-Work Orders (SWOs) from five weeks to eight weeks
● Debarring companies from hiring new migrant workers for three months in egregious cases

Employers should use this opportunity to engage workers and supervisors on workplace risks and reinforce safe work practices at all levels.

By working together to strengthen safety practices, we can create safer and healthier workplaces for all.
