SINGAPORE — The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) will be extending the heightened safety period and will impose higher fines on errant companies found to have serious safety breaches.

In a press release on Friday , MOM said the extension will be for three months starting from March 1.

"Based on past trends, periods post-Chinese New Year have had higher workplace injury numbers as companies rush to compensate for workdays lost," said MOM.
