Leveraging Progressive Wage Model to enhance workplace safety
IN SEPTEMBER 2022, following a spike in workplace fatalities, the Ministry of Manpower implemented a slate of “heightened safety” measures that continued until May 2023.
Imposing this “heightened safety period” was effective as an urgent call for employers to put safety first.
The annual death rate for every 100,000 workers fell to 0.8 during the first six months of 2023 – half the rate of 1.6 deaths per 100,000 over the first half of 2022.
