法规

由谁监管,有何要求

本页的法规与研究详情以英文显示。

Healthcare has hours guidance but no statute. MOH and Singapore Medical Council guidelines say junior doctors' hours should not exceed 80 a week averaged over a month, with no more than 24 consecutive hours of clinical duty plus up to six hours for handover, and departments are required to comply. There is no statutory cap for senior doctors or nurses, and no legislated nurse staffing ratio. Nurses and support staff within the salary thresholds keep Employment Act caps.

主要监管机构
  • Ministry of HealthMOH

标志仅用于识别监管机构,并不代表其认可。

监管机构

The Ministry of Health licenses healthcare services under the Healthcare Services Act. The Singapore Medical Council and Singapore Nursing Board register doctors and nurses, and MOH Holdings employs junior doctors for the public clusters. MOM and the baseline law cover all healthcare employers.

您的义务

Departments must comply with the junior-doctor work-hour guidelines: no more than 80 hours a week averaged over a month, and no more than 24 consecutive hours of clinical duty plus six hours for handover. These are guidelines, not legislation. Beyond them, the baseline applies: the safety duty, Employment Act hours caps for nurses and support staff within the salary thresholds, and compulsory work injury insurance.

后果

No healthcare-specific fine applies to fatigue. Baseline WSH Act penalties apply: up to S$500,000 for a company and S$200,000 and/or two years' jail for an individual (WSH Act maxima, 2026). A doctor or nurse whose impaired practice harms a patient can face disciplinary proceedings before the Singapore Medical Council or Singapore Nursing Board, and a licensee can face MOH action under the Healthcare Services Act.

处罚

No healthcare-specific figures apply beyond the baseline. The measurable costs are clinical: MOH told Parliament in 2022 that long working hours are associated with increased risks to patient safety, such as medical errors and adverse events. Work injury compensation limits rose on 1 November 2025.

记录在案

No Singapore court, coroner, investigator or regulator has published a finding linking fatigue to an incident in healthcare. Fatigue risk still falls under the Workplace Safety and Health Act duty and MOM's fatigue management guidelines.
