1. What is bizSafe
bizSAFE is a nationally recognized capability-building program designed to help companies build workplace safety and health capabilities.

2. What are the benefits of bizSafe?
Comply with Risk Management Regulations
All workplaces must conduct risk assessments for all work activities and processes under WSH (Risk Management) Regulations. These risk assessments must be reviewed as and when the work activities change or every 3 years, by law.
bizSAFE Level 3 and above recognizes that your company has put in place systems to manage workplace risks and complies with WSH (Risk Management) Regulations. To achieve this, you must engage a Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) Accredited Auditing Organisations to assess the implementation of risk management in your workplace using the bizSAFE Level 3 Risk Management audit checklist.
Increase Business Competitive Edge
As safety and health incidents cause delays and financial losses, many clients prefer to work with companies that have sound WSH systems and practices. Having a bizSAFE certificate will help you to expand your business opportunities as it is often a key requirement for contracts and tenders.
Gain Better Corporate Branding
Many companies pride themselves on their reputation and ability to deliver quality products and services. However, if this is done at the expense of employees and causes harm to them, this can seriously damage the company's corporate image.
bizSAFE can help to assure clients that your company's products and services are delivered by employees who work in a safe and healthy environment, and improve your company's corporate branding.
Create a Safer and Healthier Workplace safety
Safety and health are considered basic needs. Failing to provide basic needs can drive prospective and current employees to other employers. As bizSAFE recognizes your company's commitment to safety and health, you can use it to retain your talents and position your company as an employer of choice.
