• Risk Management requirements under the Act;
• The benefits of the bizSAFE Programme and how to get “certified”;
• The Government’s funding scheme via RMAF, ARC, RMAF Agent;• How Risk Management brings about increased Productivity and helps

Introduction
Come Sep 2011, all remaining industries will fall under the enforcement framework of WSH Act 2006 and its relevant subsidiary legislation.• Risk Management is a major requirement
and challenge for SMEs while there are increased penalties prescribed for non-compliance.
• Let’s see how we could take advantage of risk management for enhancement of productivity and creating a competitive edge for our businesses.
Alan Greenspan, Ex-Chairman of the Federal Reserve of the United States remarked:• Technically, productivity is the ratio of
output to input. It is a measure of how efficiently and effectively a business or an economy uses inputs such as labour and capital to produce outputs such as goods and services.
• An increase in productivity means that more goods and services are produced with the same amount of labour and capital. It is not about cutting costs but "doing things right" and "doing the right things" to achieve maximum efficiency and value.
Principles of New OSH Framework
1. Reduce Risks At Sourcea. Emphasising on good OSH management systemsb. Comprehensive Risk Assessments c. Assigning liability to those who are in control of
workplace risks2. Promote Industry Ownership of Standards &
Outcomesa. Mindset change from following letters of law to
taking responsibility over standards and outcomes.
3. Higher Penalties for Poor Safety Managementa. Penalties must be sufficient to reflect the cost of
poor safety management and deter risk-taking behaviour.
WSHA 2006 & Phases of Implementation
• Effective 1st March 2006• Provides for coverage of all
workplaces but will be implemented in phases, focusing first on “HOT” industries (Phase 1) such as:
• Construction, • Shipbuilding and Ship-Repair
