Many also represent the Institution in working committees in Ministry of Manpower (MOM), National Environment Agency (NEA), National Fire and Civil Emergency Preparedness Council (NFEC), SPRING Singapore, Singapore Contractors' Association (SCAL), Land Transport Authority (LTA) and the Workplace Safety and Health Council (WSHC). SISO is a member of the International Network of Safety and Health Practitioner Organizations (INSHPO) based in the United Kingdom. In Nov 2009, SISO also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), United Kingdom to foster closer collaboration, share active knowledge in OSH and recognize each other's qualifications in OSH. Both SISO and The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) signed a letter of agreement in Jun 2010 to work together on areas of mutual interest and benefits which will serve as the means to enhance these interests and to establish a framework for co-operative efforts.
