Addressing the 200 attendees from 90 contractor companies and external agencies at the event, Mr Chee gave three suggestions to further improve safety. SMRT said that since January 2024, it has required vendors to hold bizSafe Level 3 or higher certification from the Workplace Safety and Health Council , which is a statutory board under the Ministry of Manpower.
The company, which maintains SMRT’s database server on the North-South and East-West MRT lines, requires its contractors to have a minimum of bizSafe Level 3 in its tendering process. NSL’s spokesman said that the modification has improved workplace safety and increased its workers’ productivity.
