The Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Council collaborates with the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to help other industries to achieve 'A safe and healthy workplace for everyone; and a country reowned for best practices in workplace safety and health'.1

The WSH Council:

- Help recognize and practice proper safety and health in the employees when working.2

- Created the Construction Safety Audit Scoring System (ConSASS) which offers an independent evaluation of the safety and health management system at the company.3

- Provides surveillance to keep track and control the health of the employees, and the hazards found at the worksite.4
