OS+H Asia 2012 The Regional Forum for Safety + Health Making the workplace safe, secure and healthy is everyone's priority and responsibility... Providing a central and international networking and business forum for exchanging latest solutions, applications and technologies for occupational safety and health is our aim. Since its first edition in 1998, OS+H Asia has established itself as a unique platform with significant impact on the occupational safety and health (OSH) development in Singapore and the whole ASEAN region. With its 8th edition and an increase in visitorship that has more than doubled over the years, OS+H Asia 2012 will once again be the most important industry forum to present latest product innovations and services that will contribute to a safer and healthier workplace. Together let's work at making the workplace a safe, secure and healthy environment.
Globalization and OSH Across the world, despite increase in investments and technological advancements, about 1.7 million people lose their lives or are hurt by work-related incidents and diseases (source: WHO). This figure is a startling reminder that all of us must do more to ensure safe and healthy work environments. With globalization of the economy, one of the most significant impacts on occupational safety and health is the harmonization of standards. OSH is seen bymany enterprises not only as a legal requirement but also a means of improving productivity.
OSH in ASEAN In recent years, ASEAN member countries have made rapid progress in raising OSH standards. In 2007, under the ASEAN-OSH Network Plan of Action, all member countries target to implement national OSH strategies and programmes by 2012.
Singapore - working towards the best safety records in the world Through capability and partnership building, and outreach efforts to various industry stakeholders,t he WSH 2018 strategy hopes to set a benchmark for high WSH standards in Singapore, and develop its reputation as an Asian leader and global player in building a progressive and pervasive safety and health culture. Another significant milestone for Singapore is the WSH Act which requires all workplaces to be compliant from 1 September 2011. The WSH Act ensures the cultivation of good safety habits in all individuals so as to engender a strong safety culture in all workplaces.
