SINGAPORE - Following a spate of deadly workplace accidents this month, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) is adding 300 inspections in high-risk industries.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday (Feb 24), MOM said the inspections will continue until mid-March, adding that there will be a greater focus on tackling the common infringements found of work-at-heights risk and safe use of machinery in the construction, manufacturing and marine sectors.
Of the other seven deaths this month, three fell from height, three were caught between objects and one was involved in a work-related traffic accident.
MOM had, between mid-December last year and this month, launched Operation Robin with 400 inspections at various sites.
