The Ministry of Manpower has also issued more than 760 composition fines and 48 stop-work orders since the heightened safety period began in September.

, Minister for Manpower Tan See Leng said on Monday .

The MOM also issued more than 760 composition fines and 48 stop-work orders to errant companies so far. While the major injury rate for 2022 improved compared to previous years, the annualised major injury rate worsened during the heightened safety period. But despite showing the “most improvement”, the construction industry remained the “top contributor” for workplace fatalities and major injuries in 2022, he said.

Of the fatal and major workplace injuries in 2022, 80 per cent were from traditionally higher-risk industries – construction, manufacturing, transportation and storage, and some service industries, Dr Tan said.
