WSH Winners Honoured at Annual Safety Award for Manufacturing

29 July 2008 - For the third consecutive year, the Singapore Manufacturers’ Federation (SMa) organised the Workplace Safety & Health (WSH) Awards for the manufacturing industry with Goldbell Leasing Pte Ltd as the award sponsor.
This annual event which recognises manufacturers’ effort in creating innovative solutions in promoting good WSH practices at their workplace is supported by the WSH Council.
After all the teams presented their innovate projects to the panel of judges and before an audience of almost 100 people, three teams were unanimously singled out and honoured as WSH heroes of the industry. They are:

  • Cool Team from Baker Oil Tools Asia Pacific Pte Ltd for improving their method of filling their machinery with coolant. The new method uses a customised coolant tank which has an in-built mechanism that allows the adjusting of the tank’s height. Thus, making the job less tedious and improving the ergonomics of the task.
  • Heat Buster Team from Halliburton Far East Pte Ltd for modifying their furnace door handle with an extension to enhance their technician’s safety from being expose to direct heat up to 1,450 °F and risking health or even life in the process.
  • EA Mobility Team from Singapore Technologies Kinetics Ltd for improving their process of assembling their rebound stopper of their Bronco vehicle to prevent any job hazards such as crushing of hands or fingers by building an in-house designed bracket.


Mr Hans-Dieter Bott, Managing Director of SIEMENS who is serving in the Council with SMa and Chairman of the federation’s Environment, Health, Safety & Security Function Committee (for term 2008-2010) appealed to employers to consider their employees’ well-being as the main priority and thrust in creating a corporate culture of workplace safety & health during his opening speech.

“As we progress further into the 21st century, workplace safety & health will indefinitely be a necessity in every corporate culture. With the adequate communication, it gives you (employers) a competitive advantage in the race for talents,” said Mr Bott.

CONGRATS!!! Team Heat Busters .... and Mabuhay!!!
