Let’s Talk: Safety as a Strategy – Protecting Your People and Business [Part 1]

This audio podcast is part one of a series that covers the panel discussion at Tripartite Connect 2025, with a topical focus on changing mindsets on workplace safety.

The dialogue explored how investing in WSH not only protects workers but also strengthens business performance. It also addressed perceptions that accidents “won’t happen to me” and that safety “costs too much”.

Hear from Mr Abu Bakar Mohd Nor, Chairman of the WSH Council, as he shares Singapore’s journey from Safety 1.0 (workers’ responsibility) to Safety 4.0 (shared responsibility across the Government, industry, employers and workers). From the lessons of the 1978 Spyros incident to today’s tripartite collaborations, the message is clear - safety is everyone’s responsibility.
