Singapore has introduced an AI-enabled Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) tool to address increasingly complex workplace risks. The announcement was made at the ninth edition of The Singapore Workplace Safety and Health Conference 2026, held at Marina Bay Sands, which gathered over 1,500 policymakers, business leaders, and industry practitioners.
The conference, themed “Insight to Impact: Collective Effort for Stronger WSH Outcomes,” emphasised the shared responsibility among employers, workers, unions, and industry partners in creating safer and more resilient workplaces. The event was attended by prominent figures, including the Minister of State for Manpower, Dinesh Vasu Dash, and WSH Council Chairman, Abu Bakar Bin Mohd Nor. Representatives from major organisations such as SMRT, SATS Group, CapitaLand Investment, NTUC, SUTD, BCA, and Seatrium were also present.
The new AI tool is expected to transform how workplace safety is managed by providing insights that can be translated into practical actions. This development is crucial as workplace risks become more complex, requiring innovative solutions to ensure safety and health standards are met.
Dinesh Vasu Dash, Minister of State for Manpower, said “Singapore’s workplace safety and health progress is not a static achievement, but a continuous national effort. As we advance the WSH 2028 agenda, our focus must be on sustaining the progress we have made, strengthening support for workers, employers and WSH practitioners, and ensuring that our WSH system remains responsive to the needs of a changing economy.”
The conference highlighted the importance of collaboration in achieving stronger WSH outcomes, with the AI tool serving as a pivotal step in this direction. As Singapore continues to prioritise workplace safety, the integration of advanced technology like AI is set to play a significant role in enhancing safety measures across various industries.
