This is because bad weather conditions vary and present various challenges in different worksites, he said.

SINGAPORE – It is not practical for the Ministry of Manpower to set blanket rules for exactly when companies should stop work in the event of extreme weather conditions, Senior Minister of State for Manpower Zaqy Mohamad told Parliament on Oct 16.

Labour MP Melvin Yong said erratic weather patterns might become more common with climate change, and asked how the ministry will manage bad weather outcomes such as work delays while ensuring that safety is not compromised.Mr Zaqy said it was challenging to “impose a guide” for when companies should stop work, since bad weather affects different work sites differently.

“This is where we put the burden on the employers and the worksite occupiers to ensure that the workplace safety guidelines are all adhered to.” In response, Mr Zaqy said MOM works with the Workplace Safety and Healthy Council and trade associations to engage employers and workers to assess best practices.
