Workplace Safety & Health (WSH) Framework in Singapore
– 3 Key Principles
1. Reduce Risk at Source
2. Greater Industry Ownership
3. Penalties for Poor Safety Management
Overview

16
To (New Mindset)
Reduce risks at source Managing risks Identifying and eliminating risks
before they are created
Prevent accidents through higher
penalties for poor OSH management
Accidents are
costly
Poor safety and health
management is costlier
Greater industry ownership of WSH
outcomes
Doing only
what the Law say
Proactive planning to achieve a
safe and healthy workplace
From (Old Mindset) Principles

Design for Safety (DFS) in Singapore
• Principles and Enforcement of DFS
Potential safety and health hazards associated with the
construction and maintenance of buildings and
structures can be reduced at the design stage. The
Guidelines on Design for Safety (DFS) in Buildings and
Structures are launched in November 2008.
Safe-access, safe-maintenance and work-at-height
issues should be addressed during the planning and
design stages

Ensure DfS Review Process
is implemented Plan, monitor & manage
the pre-const. phase
Prepare & update the
DfS Register

Provide pre-construction
information
Allocate sufficient time &
resources Hire competent personnel
DFS Regs: Duties of Developers
To ensure
implementation of DFS
elements, Developer
should accompany
competent personnel

Examples of DFS
for maintenance of windows and claddings
• Gondola System

Examples of DFS
for maintenance of building services (lights, speakers etc.)
• Maintenance Platform

Examples of DFS
Permanent maintenance platform moving along with guide rail
• Permanent Maintenance Systems Provided for maintenance of glass walls
11
Examples of DFS - Skyrise Greenery Safe Design
The diverse range of skyrise greenery situations
created exciting spatial configurations, qualities,
as well as challenging safe-access and safe-
maintenance issues.
Green Walls are very Common Features in Singapore
12
Examples of DFS - Skyrise Greenery Safe Design
Singapore Management University (SMU)
Poor access to the planters for maintenance. There is a door that swings outward, permitting cumbersome access. Ideally, worker must be able to secure restraint belt (and other relevant PPE) while from a safe location, before accessing the relevant work surface.
Access door
13
Examples of DFS - Skyrise Greenery Safe Design
• Effective long term maintenance
• No need for scaffolding during maintenance
• Enhanced safety with no need to work at height
Safe Maintenance Platforms are provided behind vertical greenery for
safe-access and safe-maintenance.

The green wall modules can be accessed for maintenance along the service corridor behind the green wall. The irrigation pipes have to be slightly longer to allow for the green wall modules to swing open.

Sharing of Infrastructure Projects
1. Powergrid Jurong Island Cable Tunnel Project
2. City Developed Limited (CDL) The Venue
Residences
3. Land Transport Authority (LTA) Tuas West
Project
4. Land Transport Authority (LTA) Bedok Station
Construction Project
21
Site Visit 1 - Powergrid Jurong Island Cable Tunnel Project
Design and Risk Management:
• Power cable tunnel allow efficient installation
and quick replacement of underground cables
• Tunnel (6m diameter) is designed with a depth
of 60 to 80m to ensure reliability and security of
electricity network in Singapore
• Adoption of Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM)
to secure construction programme
• RFID tags to monitor location of employees at
entrance & exit of each sections of tunnel

Design for Safety - Diaphragm Wall is adopted for
both temporary works and
permanent structure for 3 levels
basement (approx. 11m)
Four residential blocks with podium
and three levels basement

for Excavation and Pile
Cap construction
Diaphragm Wall already
installed during piling stage
24
Site Visit 2 - City Developed Limited (CDL) The Venue Residences
Design for Safety - Diaphragm Wall • Three levels Basement required Excavation more than 11m depth
• Diaphragm wall is chosen instead of sheet piling ELS
• More expansive option adopted for sake of safety and programme
Benefits • Safe and strut free working area
• Very robust - permanent wall instead of temporary sheet pile
• Enhance programme and save several months – Concurrent
construction with diaphragm wall completed before piling
completion. (traditional ELS and piling works are carried out in
separate period)
• Apart from earth retaining, it cut out ground water during
construction
