Workplace Safety And Health Report

More workplace deaths and close shaves in 2022; surge in cases of work-related health conditions: MOM

Among the "occupational diseases" reported, cases of noise-induced deafness more than tripled from 168 in 2021 to 624 in 2022.

SINGAPORE: The number of workplace fatalities, dangerous occurrences and cases of occupational disease in Singapore rose across the board in 2022, according to the annual Workplace Safety and Health Report released on Tuesday (Apr 4).

Published by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), the report showed there were 46 workplace-related deaths last year - a rate of 1.3 per 100,000 workers. This was up from 37 in 2021 and the highest number of fatalities since 2015 and 2016, when there were 66 each year.

The top two causes were vehicular incidents and falls from a height, which together accounted for half of all workplace fatalities in 2022. The most number of cases, 14, occurred in the construction sector.

"The spate of workplace fatal injuries were largely due to basic safety lapses, such as inadequate safety planning and control measures, and non-compliance with safety measures," said MOM. 

The number of dangerous occurrences – incidents with a high potential for multiple fatalities, but where no one was injured – also more than doubled from 13 in 2021 to 27 in 2022. There were 46 such incidents reported in 2015. 

Among the incidents last year, 20 involved the collapse or failure of structures and equipment, with the remaining involving fires and explosions.

MOM attributed the spike last year to a rise in crane-related incidents in the construction sector, which again contributed the most - 56 per cent - of all dangerous occurrences.

The ministry pointed to a S$4 million grant announced in January, to co-fund the installation of stability control systems on lorry cranes.

MOM also said it was reviewing additional measures that would enhance crane operators' competency, and increase the deterrence of unsafe crane-related operations.












In response to the spate of workplace fatalities last year, a Heightened Safety Period (HSP) was implemented in September. It brought the monthly average of fatalities down from 4.5 to 2.5. 

Senior Minister of State for Manpower Zaqy Mohamad said that while the construction sector has "seen improvements in reducing workplace accidents", the incidence of major injuries did not improve in some sectors such as manufacturing.

The HSP was thus extended until May 31 this year, and a Multi-Agency Workplace Safety Taskforce convened to come up with strategies to strengthen workplace safety.

"Overall, there was some improvement in the workplace safety landscape with the introduction of HSP, but continued vigilance is needed," said MOM. 

"Safety measures announced earlier in February are being implemented and will take effect in the coming weeks and months."

WORK-RELATED HEALTH CONDITIONS

Elsewhere, reported cases of occupational diseases rose from 659 in 2021 to a new high of 1,052 in 2022 - or from a rate of 20 cases per 100,000 workers to 29.7.

These refer to diseases contracted as a result of exposure to risk factors arising from work activity, and listed in the Workplace Safety and Health Act.

The most number of cases - 506 - were picked up in the manufacturing sector.

Noise-induced deafness and musculoskeletal disorders like back injuries were the top two types of occupational diseases, collectively accounting for 92 per cent of all cases.

For noise-induced deafness alone, there was a spike in cases from 168 in 2021 to 624 last year.

MOM attributed the rise in reported cases to ongoing efforts in its Enhanced Workplace Health Surveillance (WHS+) programme, as well as increased awareness in reporting amongst doctors and employers.

WHS+ aims to minimise hazards that lead to occupational diseases.

MOM said it would continue to increase the number of workplaces under WHS+, and also work with the Workplace Safety and Health Council to increase awareness and implementation of workplace health programmes.

WSH Case Studies -For WSH Professionals

What is WSH Case Studies

WSH Case Studies is a free resources for various groups from management and safety professionals to supervisors and workers for improving WSH practices .

It offers insights to past  accidents that have taken place in Singapore. The case studies not only provide lessons learnt for the industry, but more importantly, they remind us to actively review our current practices and continually find ways to make our workplaces safer. Readers are encouraged to carefully think through each case, review its relevancy and context to specific workplace situations, and incorporate the lessons learnt where appropriate.

Here are some workplace accidents case studies for your review 

1)WSH Case Studies - Chemical Industry

This booklet is divided into various sections according to type of incident for easy reference. The 5M (Mission, Man, Machine and Management, Medium) Model (see Appendix B) is used to analyse the contributing factors of each case. At the end of the booklet is a section on occupational health hazards. Unlike safety hazards, consequences posed by occupational health hazards may not be as obvious and immediate. Adverse health effects may be chronic in nature and can take a long time for the occupational disease to manifest. This section will show innovative approaches used in addressing exposure to occupational health hazards involving noise, ergonomics and chemicals. 

2)WSH Case Studies -Accident Involving Working At Heights

Case Studies of Accidents Involving Working at Heights is the result of collective efforts of Ministry of Manpower and National WAH Safety Taskforce. Past concluded fatal accidents were compiled and categorised according to incident types for ease of reference. Through root cause analysis of these accidents, causes were examined and key learning points shared. The lessons and recommendations within will help you in implementing appropriate WSH measures at your workplaces to prevent work at heights injuries 

3)WSH Case Studies -Working in and around Water

This case studies booklet aims to raise WSH awareness and reiterate the importance of strengthening WSH ownership at all levels. It was developed by the Ministry of Manpower and the WSH Council, with feedback solicited from members of the WSH Council (Marine Industries) Committee, National Maritime Safety at Sea Council, and the MPA-Harbour Craft Safety Working Group. The ten case studies include scenarios like transfer to and from vessels, transport via barges, mooring and diving operations. Each incident will be accompanied by lessons learnt and recommendations.

4)WSH Case Studies -Wood Working

This case studies showcased 3 workplace accident associated with fingers severed by both table saw and circular saw in the Wood Working Industry

5)WSH Case Studies -Fatal Fire in LPG Filling Facility

Workplaces handling LPG and other flammable substances, are reminded to take heed of the learning points and implement effective risk control measures to prevent any similar recurrences.

In summary, the four learning points from the incident are:

1) Protect small-bore pipelines from accidental impact;
2) Provide a master shutdown button for safe and coordinated stoppage of gas filling;
3) Provide fire retardant clothing (FRC) to workers working with flammable substances; and
4) Plan and implement an effective emergency response

6)WSH Case Studies - Fatal Accident Involving Failure of a Tower Crane

This case studies showcased Learning Report involving Failure of Luffing Jib Tower Crane at Kajima Overseas Asia (Singapore) Pte Ltd’s Worksite Located at Tan Tock Seng Link.In summary, the two key learning points from this incident are:

1) Eliminate Risk of Entanglement between Erection Ropes and other Structures; and

2) Ensure Erection Ropes return to their Resting Position.

7)WSH Case Studies - Construction Industry

This compilation of case studies on fatalities in the construction industry depicts how the accidents occurred and provides valuable learning points on how they could have been prevented.

1. Falls from Height

2. Worker Struck by Fall

3. Electrocution

4. Worker Struck by/against Objects/Machines

8)WSH Case Studies - Marine Industry

Every year, more than 300 injuries befall our workers in the marine industry. Some workers who are severely injured face long roads to recovery or suffer from permanent incapacity. Some may never return home to their loved ones. It is our belief that no one should be injured at work. Everyone should go home safely every day, free from harm.

The Committee, comprising of business leaders from the marine sector, has put in a lot of effort to safeguard the workers. Although we have reduced the number of fatalities over the years, such incidents still happen, and sadly, some of these incidents are very similar in nature. Hence, the lessons drawn from these incidents are key to us in preventing the next incident from recurring. That is why we have pooled together our WSH expertise from various companies to compile these case studies.

This booklet is divided into various sections according to incident type for easy reference. The underlying causes of these accidents are carefully examined through root cause analysis. Make full use of this compilation, to share these cases at your company’s training or toolbox meetings on a regular basis and undertake study through each case, review its relevancy and context to specific workplace situations, and incorporate the lessons learnt where appropriate.
