What the release reports
The heightened safety period ends on 31 May 2023. Fatality performance improved, but major injuries did not, prompting longer-term sector, company and worker measures.
Details and conditions
Plans include stronger public-tender safety criteria, construction video systems, manufacturing demerit points, machinery and dust duties, and executive WSH training. Selected leadership-accountability measures continue; SME advisory and worker micro-learning support compliance.
Context and follow-up
Measures would roll out over six to twelve months with consultation and detailed announcements. Workers and the public are encouraged to report unsafe conditions through company channels or SnapSAFE. The timeline table distinguishes immediate actions from measures awaiting implementation details.
