Costs of safe management measures will pay off: Chan Chun Sing

Singapore

IMPLEMENTING safe management measures at the workplace will incur some added costs and inconvenience for businesses, but it will pay off in the long run and speed up the reopening of the rest of the economy, Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing said on Friday.

Allowing employees who can do so to continue working from home will minimise their risk of exposure to the coronavirus and thus provide more stability for employers, he told reporters after a tour of food company Prima Limited's flour-milling factory.
