Safety Management Officer Course

Under the requirements for Safe Management Measures at the workplace after the Circuit Breaker period issued by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), all companies operating in Singapore are required to appoint a Safe Management Officer (SMO) to assist in the implementation, coordination, and monitoring of the Safe Management Measures system at the workplace.

A well-implemented SMM can help prevent the re-emergence of community cases at our workplaces. We all have the responsibility to support our businesses, minimize disruption to the workplaces and protect livelihoods. To ensure continuity of businesses, employers have been reminded that that compliance is a MUST. Actions will be taken against errant employers, including suspension of operations and prosecutions.

An effective SMM requires the following questions to be answered confidently:
