Appointed as Anti Slip Tapes Supplier for WSH Council
Recently we have been working with
Work Safety and Health Council Singapore (WSH) to supply them with
Anti-Slip Tapes for over 400 companies who are participating in their workplace safety event – in case you are not familiar with WSH, they are an agency established in 2008, working closely with the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and other government agencies, the industry, unions, and professional associations to develop strategies to raise WSH standards in Singapore and realize the national WSH 2018 vision.
We are greatly honored to be appointed as the anti-slip tapes supplier for this event and to have the opportunity to help contribute towards a safer workplace for everyone in Singapore.
#1 cause of workplace accidents in Singapore
Through this collaboration, we learned that
Slip, Trips and Falls is the #1 cause of workplace accidents in Singapore accounting for at more than 20% of 1,000+ workplace accidents each year. Fortunately, all these accidents can actually be easily prevented if proper safety measures were implemented in the workplace.
What can organizations do to reduce workplace accidents
We learned from WSH that one of the easiest and least costly methods to reduce workplace accidents is through the installation of anti-slip tapes in high traffic areas, stairs and slippery corridors to ensure proper grip and eliminate accident risks.
Yes, its as simple as that. Our high quality anti-slip tapes are extremely easy to install and maintain, and in fact, all you need to do is to apply (stick) the anti slip tapes on those accident prone areas and the anti slip tapes will do its job in preventing people from slipping.
Comparing the costs of accidents (medical compensations, legal implications, impact on business operation, employees’ health, etc) in your workplace, the amount you need to invest in installing anti-slip tapes are very insignificant, which is why it is one of the top recommendations by WSH for companies to consider installing the anti-slip tapes as one of the major workplace accidents preventive measures.
Employers obligations
Under the
WSH Act, all employers in Singapore are required to ensure the safety and health of all their employees. As a responsible employer, you’d definitely want to make your workplace a safer place for your employees, and implementing of anti-slip measures is one of the most cost effective methods to reduce accidents in your workplace.
