Achieving sustained improvements in WSH performance
A national, strategic and long-term approach is vital for Singapore to achieve sustained and continuous improvement in WSH standards. In attaining this objective, the WSH 2018 was co-drafted by the WSHC and the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). WSH 2018 spells out our national vision, the strategic outcomes and the strategies required to achieve the 2018 vision. It aims to synergise the efforts and resources of all stakeholders to achieve:
- The vision of "A safe and healthy workplace for everyone”;
- “A country renowned for the best practices in workplace safety and health" and
- One of the best safety records in the world by bringing down the national fatality rate to less than 1.8 per 100,000 workers by 2018.
The strategic outcomes are:
a) The reduction in WSH incident rates;
Workplace safety and health as an integral part of business;
c) Singapore as a renowned Centre of Excellence for WSH; and
d) A progressive and pervasive WSH Culture.
In order to achieve the desired outcomes, the four identified strategies below will help to guide the efforts of everyone, namely the government, industry stakeholders, employers, unions, workers, WSH professionals, professional and education institutions as well as service providers, in strengthening WSH improvements and paving the way towards safer and healthier workplaces.

ASEM Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Conference on Developing a Preventive OSH Culture
The ASEM OSH conference will be held in Singapore from 10 to 11 September 2012. This conference is co-organised by France, Singapore and the European Commission. This conference was an outcome of the 3rd Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) Labour and Employment Minister's Conference (ASEM LEMC) that was held in Leiden, Netherlands from 12 to 14 December 2010 under the Leiden Declaration and "Leiden Framework of Action".
