What is bizSAFE
BizSAFE is a five-step programme to help your company to build up capabilities in addressing workplace safety, health and security.
BizSAFE Levels
Level 1
To start on the bizSAFE journey, your company’s top management can sign up for a half-day “bizSAFE Workshop for CEOs / Top Management”. In this workshop, the participant will learn about their legal obligations under the WSH Act and how to develop a WSH Policy which includes the commitment to manage terror risks at their workplaces.
Level 2
To achieve bizSAFE Level 2, your company must nominate a Risk Management (RM) Champion to attend a 2-day bizSAFE Course on ‘Develop a Risk Management Implementation Plan’. The Champion will learn how to develop a Risk Management Plan and how to conduct Risk Assessment.
Level 3
In order to attain bizSAFE Level 3, your company must implement the Risk Management (RM) Plan in your workplace to address all risks highlighted in the RM plan. Thereafter, you must engage a WSH auditor from an Auditing Organisation (AO) that is recognised by the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) to certify that your company is bizSAFE Level 3 ready.
Level 4
For bizSAFE Level 4, your appointed Workplace Safety and Health Management System (WSHMS) Champion will attend 4-day course on “Develop a Workplace Safety and Health Management System (WSHMS) Implementation Plan”.
