FROM October, lower levies will be payable for foreign construction workers trained in specific safety standards; these workers will also enjoy longer employment periods.
Instead of S$650, the levy payable for these workers will be S$300. Their maximum period of employment will be 22 years, up from 10. These changes are aimed at improving workplace safety and health (WSH) in the sector.
