What the release reports
MOM and the WSH Council issued guidance for strong winds, floods, lightning, heat and haze. Recommendations provide a base for plans adapted to each workplace.
Details and conditions
Employers should assess local weather risks, establish communication and response arrangements, practise drills and secure temporary structures and equipment. Contractors’ readiness must also be checked.
Context and follow-up
The guidelines themselves are advisory, while duties to maintain safe workplaces under the WSH Act still apply. MOM may inspect and enforce against culpable lapses. The release links the weather-specific annex rather than setting one identical operating rule for every industry.
