Transporting workers to and from work sites using lorries have been discussion points, with concerns of overloading, to speeding sightings of these lorries on expressways and recurring comments about the safety of workers falling off the lorries, or if there is a vehicular accident involving these lorries with workers.

Concerns also include if it is safe for workers to be seated with work material and tools stored at the back of the lorries.

We hope employers will continue to review their transportation methods and keep their arrangements safe for the workers.

To the drivers of these lorries, please be safe on the roads at all times.

Update on enhanced safety for workers transported on lorries.

This is why everyone needs to belt up, including the rear seat passengers.

You may know the driver and trust him or her, but do you trust the other drivers around not to make a mistake and cause an accident to the car you’re in?

And it shouldnt matter if there is a law or not. It should matter cos its your life, and the life of the person sitting in front of you (if you are the rear seat passenger).

Please drive safe, ride safe and belt up.

A good reminder to the lifting team to ensure the correct use of cranes according to manufacturers’ recommendations.

A good sizing up of the crane based on its working envelope and load chart to ensure the crane can perform the required lifting operations and making arrangements for suitable site conditions will be important to ensure a safe lifting operation.

Please work safe and stay safe.

It has come to MOM’s and the WSH Council’s attention that some companies are using concrete blocks to weigh down the crane’s outriggers (see photographs). This practice is not permitted by both the crane manufacturer and supplier and cannot be used to increase a crane’s safe working load (SWL) or improve its stability. Cranes are not designed to be operated with such modification, which may result in crane failure.

Please be reminded that cranes shall be operated within the safe working limits and configurations recommended by the manufacturer at all times. Before making any modification to the crane, always consult the manufacturer or supplier to ensure it is safe to do so.
