监管机构
MOM regulates Jurong Island's refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants under the WSH Act and the WSH (Major Hazard Installations) Regulations, which require a safety case for each major hazard installation. MOM also runs a Fitness for Work programme for 24/7 shift personnel at these sites, backed by a tripartite guide.
您的义务
As an MHI operator you must maintain a safety case demonstrating major-accident risks are as low as reasonably practicable. MOM requires you to keep 24/7 shift personnel fit for work - identifying safety-critical roles, assessing their demands and applying fitness assessments at set intervals - and the Fitness for Work Tripartite Guide is guidance on how to do so. The baseline applies too, including Employment Act caps for shift staff within the salary thresholds.
后果
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); since 1 June 2024, up to S$50,000 for failing to conduct a risk assessment that is a major cause of serious harm. A fatigue-linked major-accident failure would also be examined against your safety case, and MOM can halt operations with a stop-work order.
处罚
A stop-work order at a continuous process plant carries shutdown and restart costs far above any fine, and breaching one carries up to S$500,000 plus S$20,000 a day (2026). Work injury compensation limits rose on 1 November 2025, to up to S$269,000 for a death.
记录在案
No Singapore court, coroner, investigator or regulator has published a finding linking fatigue to an incident in oil and gas. Fatigue risk still falls under the Workplace Safety and Health Act duty and MOM's fatigue management guidelines.
