SS 506 – Occupational Safety and Health Management System in Singapore
SS 506 is the Singapore Standard for Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems (OSHMS), offering a comprehensive and structured framework for managing workplace safety and health risks. By implementing SS 506, organizations can systematically identify hazards, assess risks, and establish strong controls to protect employees and maintain a safe working environment. SS 506 is closely aligned with international standards such as ISO 45001, making it a reliable benchmark for companies that require stringent safety protocols. Industries like construction, manufacturing, oil & gas, and logistics widely adopt SS 506 to ensure compliance, improve operational efficiency, and demonstrate a strong commitment to workplace safety and regulatory requirements.
