bizSAFE: Building Workplace Safety and Health Capabilities
bizSAFE is a nationally recognized capability-building program designed to enhance workplace safety and health (WSH) standards across various industries. This comprehensive five-step program helps companies develop robust WSH capabilities, ensuring a safer work environment and improving overall safety performance.
Program Structure
Level 1: Commitment to Safety Leadership
To initiate your company's journey towards enhanced workplace safety, the top management must participate in a bizSAFE Level 1 Workshop. This session, tailored for CEOs and top management, is conducted by authorized bizSAFE service providers. The workshop emphasizes the importance of senior management commitment to fostering a culture of safety and health.
Level 2: Risk Management Implementation
At this stage, your enterprise is required to appoint a Risk Management (RM) Champion who will attend the bizSAFE Level 2 Course on Risk Management. Following this course, the RM Champion will develop an RM Implementation Plan. Successful completion and implementation of this plan will upgrade your enterprise to bizSAFE Level 2.
Level 3: Risk Management Assessment
Achieving bizSAFE Level 3 involves a thorough assessment of your Risk Management (RM) implementation. This step is crucial for compliance with the Workplace Safety and Health Act (WSHA) and its subsidiary legislation. To attain this level, your enterprise must engage a MOM-Approved WSH auditor to evaluate the effectiveness of your RM strategies.
Level 4: Advanced Safety Management System
For bizSAFE Level 4, your company must designate a Workplace Safety and Health Management System (WSHMS) Programme Lead to undergo the bizSAFE Level 4 Course on WSHMS. Equipped with advanced knowledge from this course, the WSHMS Programme Lead will develop a comprehensive WSH Implementation Plan for your organization.
Level 5 - bizSAFE STAR: Achieving Excellence
To attain the prestigious bizSAFE STAR level, your enterprise must secure certification under SS506, OHSAS 18001, or ISO 45001 from a certification body accredited by the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC). Additionally, you must obtain an RM Implementation Audit Report from a MOM-SAC Approved WSH Auditor, recognized by the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC). This final certification reflects your enterprise's commitment to the highest standards of safety and health management.
