A Workplace Safety & Health Officer (WSHO) is a safety professional who has a fundamental knowledge of, and experience in, occupational safety, health and environment. The primary role of a WSHO is the protection of lives and the prevention of harm to property and the environment.
In Singapore, WSHOs are regulated by the Workplace Safety and Health (Workplace Safety and Health Officers) Regulations.
In order to be a WSHO, one must initially have successfully completed a training course to equip himself/herself to be a WSHO and have at least 2 years practical experience relevant to the work to be performed by a WSHO in Singapore.
Therefore, to practise as a WSH Officer in Singapore, one has to be registered with Ministry of Manpower. For more information, please refer to www.mom.gov.sg.
Generally, WSH professionals can be segregated into the following 4 categories. However, only WSH Officers are regulated and required to be registered with the Ministry of Manpower in order to practise as such.
