EMAS Bulletin January 2012

This New Year, the Environmental Management Association of Singapore (EMAS) is pleased to welcome back our old members, as well as to extend a warm welcome to new members who

have joined us in December 2012. The new members are: Ordinary Members 1. Horsburg Engineering 2. Klinwell Services

3. Crusade Services 4. Greenway Maintenance Services 5. Silveroid Enterprise

6. Jonguil Asia Cleaning 7. Okia Enviro Services

8. Cal Building & Maintenance Services Associate Members 1. EF Software 2. Jeff Supplies

3. Diversey Singapore 4. Ecolab 5. Sunlight Paper Products

6. Kimberly Clark 7. Jireh tissue 8. Labour Vision

9. 3M Technologies (S) Pte Ltd

Indeed, we are most delighted to see EMAS membership growing, and look forward to working with our new members for the common interests of the environmental health industry. In

addition, EMAS has also approached other companies like NTUC Learning Hub and CBLD who have been approached as critical training partners to support the professionalism of the

industry but both have cite at this stage budget constraints. Hopefully with the anticipated downturn, as more people get trained, they will find some resources to support the association and try and work with the industry in a more holistic manner. Perhaps EMAS members who work

with them for training can assist to convey the benefits and the importance of their involvement with the association.

Nonetheless, we hope that all existing EMAS members will keep up our efforts to grow and sustain the association, to take on issues of concern for members and the industry at large. In

this New Year, our resolution is to grow in membership, and to continue our drive to engage the government regulatory bodies and accreditation bodies to bring about new initiatives for the

industry and to better help our members cope with challenges and grow in a sustainable manner

First off the bat, we would like to give all members an update from the discussion with NEA on Accreditation Lunch : Details will come from Foo Meng and if it does not, send a chaser on e-

mail to him Next, we would like to share with all, details of the EMAS Bowling Tournament 2012! This event

aims to reach out to staff from member companies, and we hope that all participants can bond and develop friendships over the course of the friendly tournament. The tournament

details are given as follows: 19 Feb 2012, Sunday, 12.30pm – 6pm Civil Service Club (TO BE CONFIRMED)

We hope that all members will take the time out to engage their staff with this event. There will be attractive trophies for the winners, and it is a once in the lifetime opportunity to play against teams from various government regulatory bodies, who have been approached to participate

in this friendly event as well.

Our next announcement is that EMAS has been invited to serve as a member to the Tripartite Advisory Group that is being set up to suggest a set of new accreditation criteria relating to employment terms and standards for the cleaning sector. The Advisory Group led by NEA and

MOM will comprise representatives from NEA, MOM, MOF, EMAS, Union, employers and employees and will also consult service buyers and providers. EMAS hopes that through this

participation, we will get a chance to help shape the coming accreditation criteria for companies in our industry.

Following that, we would also like to inform members of upcoming events slated to be held jointly with NEA, for the benefit of the association. This year, NEA will be taking a greater involvement with EMAS and it is our hope that our association will continue to grow with NEA’s
