新加坡人力部强化工地安全规定
新加坡人力部宣布，为进一步加强工地安全管理，降低工伤意外事故发生率，将从6月1日起，将违反工地安全规定的最高罚款金额由2万元提升至5万元。同时，对于合同金额达到500万元及以上的建筑工程工地，将强制安装视频监控系统。
人力部表示，提高罚款金额旨在加强对建筑公司的问责，特别是对高层领导的责任追究，以塑造更加安全的工作场所文化。尽管2023年工地安全状况有所改善，但建筑业仍是伤亡事故高发的行业。因此，通过引入视频监控系统，希望能在高风险工作区域起到威慑作用，减少不安全行为的发生。
此外，视频监控系统还可以为公司提供宝贵的培训资源，并为安全事故和险情调查提供重要信息。

Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower Enhances Worksite Safety Measures
The Ministry of Manpower in Singapore has announced an enhancement in worksite safety regulations, effective from June 1. To further strengthen safety management and reduce workplace accidents, the maximum fine for violating worksite safety regulations will be increased from SGD 20,000 to SGD 50,000. Additionally, for construction projects with a contract value of SGD 5 million and above, the installation of video surveillance systems will be mandated.
The Ministry emphasized that the increase in fines aims to strengthen accountability for construction companies, especially for their senior leadership responsible for fostering a safe workplace culture. Despite improvements in worksite safety in 2023, the construction industry remains one with a high incidence of fatalities and severe injuries. Therefore, the introduction of video surveillance systems is expected to deter unsafe behaviors in high-risk work areas.
