Bernard Soh President, [email protected]

Dear Members of SISO,

we have just held our 44th Annual General Meeting

(AGM) on 23 March 2018 at Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay. I must begin by saying a big thank you to those who took the time and made the effort to attend the AGM.

At the AGM, Mr. Roger Lim Boon Chiow and Mr. Sethupillai Ganesan were both nominated for the position of Honorary Treasurer. Thus, members at the AGM voted to select the candidate for Honorary Treasurer. I would like to thank Mr. Ganesan for stepping forward to offer his services, which is another reflection that our members care for SISO and are willing to contribute to SISO. I would also like to congratulate Roger who was elected by the members as Honorary Treasurer by a vote count of 61 to 11.

The other nine positions of the Executive Committee had only one nomination each and were thus uncontested.

I view the results of this Executive Committee election as a strong mandate from our members that they are in agreement with what the Executive Committee as a team is doing. With this resounding vote of support, my team and I are energised and motivated to continue to achieve our strategic goals. Thus, may I humbly introduce my team:

Vice PresidentMr. Niranjan Masurekar

Honorary SecretaryMr. Darajit Daud

Honorary Assistant SecretaryMr. Seah Liang Bing

Honorary treasurerMr. Roger Lim Boon Chiow

executive Committee members Ms. Michelle Lam Mei San Mr. Eric Law Wei KwangMr. Mohd Ridzwan Bin MohammadMr. Ong Pak ShoonMr. Tan Yen Ping

For those who were not able to attend the AGM, where I had described our achievements from 2016 to 2018 and shared our plans for 2018 to 2020, please allow me to recap our key programmes and activities for the next two years.

First and foremost, we have drafted a plan to engage the Minister for Education (Schools) and Second Minister for Transport, Mr. Ng Chee Meng, who is also our SISO Advisor. The engagement plan comprises three main areas of activities:

EngagEMEnT wITH SISo MEMBErSWe have mapped out a series of activities where the Minister will be able to meet with SISO Members so that he can hear and understand from members the challenges that they face in their professional careers. At the same time, these meetings are for members to get to know the Minister. As soon as these meetings are firmed up, we will inform members of the details.

EngagEMEnT wITH rElEvanT wSH STakEHoldErSWe have proposed to the Minister to meet with separate groups of relevant WSH stakeholders in the education and transportation sectors. At these meetings, we will introduce SISO’s Career Professional Pathway (CPP) to these stakeholders, encourage them to adopt the CPP, and discuss how SISO can collaborate with them to implement the CPP in their respective organisations.

advocacyWe have informed the Minister that SISO stands ready to support the Minister in terms of gathering feedback and information, if and when necessary, on WSH-related matters raised in Parliament. In addition, we have also expressed our wish that the Minister can be the representative voice in Parliament and other platforms for WSH-related issues.

Next, we want to continue the collaborative efforts with U Associate that was started in 2016. We will continue to meet with more NTUC union representatives to introduce the SISO Professional Standard for WSH Professionals andthe Career Progression Pathway. Furthermore, we plan to take this collaborative effort to another level by arranging training courses, talks and workshops for various union members.

In addition to annual events such as Members Night, we will continue to add programmes and activities for members. We hope to organise more safety interest groups, which will be led by interested members. In 2016, we initiated a sport safety interest group, as well as a work-at-height safety interest group. While members in the sport safety interest group were involved in various activities organised by Sport Singapore, the work-at-height safety interest group was active as volunteers for the Mobile Work-at-Height Safety Clinic in 2016 and 2017.

We are organising a Total Workplace Safety and Health Convention on 15 May 2018 at Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre. Mr Sam Tan, Minister of State, Ministry of Manpower, has accepted our invitation as the Guest-of-Honour for the event. Themed as “Achieving Vision Zero Through Total WSH”, the Convention will be the third major Conference event that SISO will organise annually.

The other Conference event organised by SISO will be the 2nd Asia Pacific OSH Training Convention, which will be held on 28 August 2018. The Training Convention will be held the day before the Singapore WSH Conference 2018, which begins at Suntec Singapore.

We are also planning to co-organise the WSH Forum on 31 August 2018 with Messe Dusseldorf Asia. Started in 2010, this biennial event is held in conjunction with the Singapore WSH Conference and the Occupational Safety+Health Asia Exhibition.

Another new initiative is a collaborative effort between SISO and Singapore Contractors Association Ltd (SCAL) to co-organise a WSH-related Conference event on 28 June 2018, at the Auditorium, NTUC Building, One Marina Boulevard.With effect from 15 March 2018, SISO is chairing the Continuing Professional Development Board and is officially administering and leading the CPD Programme. We are excited at the prospects of further enhancing and developing the CPD Programme.

Together with Skills Future Singapore, WSH Council, and Workforce Singapore, SISO is developing a national WSH Skills Framework. As early as 2019, we should be able to see the fruits of this collaboration.

Last but not least, we will continue to drive the Career Progression Pathway and hope to have as many organisations adopt the CPP as possible.

We believe that by increasing programmes and activities for members, combined with the many collaborative efforts with our partners at the Ministry of Manpower, U Associate, Skills Future Singapore, and Workforce Singapore, we will see more WSH Officers wanting to join the SISO as a member.

Thus, we expect the membership base of SISO to grow in the next two years. In the long run, it is our fervent hope that every WSH Officer will want to join SISO as a Professional Member.

Now that the new Executive Committee is formed, it is time to get to work for SISO. It is time that we all pitch in as One SISO and continue to work towards achieving the vision and mission of SISO. And the first task of the new Committee is to invite a number of members to join the Committee as co-opted Executive Committee Members. Besides co-opted Executive Committee members, we will also be looking to invite interested members to join us and help organise various programmes and activities, such as safety interest groups, conference organising committees, technical visits, representing SISO in external task forces and working groups, or volunteers for programmes like the Mobile Work-at-Height Safety Clinic. We need many more members to help conduct the myriad programmes and activities. We need you.

we have mapped out a series of activities where the Minister will be able to meet with SISo Members so that he can hear and understand from the members the challenges that they face in their professional careers.

SISO’s 44th Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on Friday, 23 March

2018, at Cinnamon Room, Level 5, Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay hotel. A total of 110 members, comprising two Fellow Members, 100 Professional Members, seven Associate Members, and one Corporate Member attended the AGM.

Mr. Bernard Soh Hong Kuan, President of SISO, welcomed the members to the 44th AGM. He shared the various programmes and achievements made in 2016 and 2017. Bernard also shared the strategic plans and programmes for 2018 and beyond and invited interested members who want to participate in these plans and programmes to inform the Executive Committee of their interest.

This edition of the AGM included the election of the Executive Committee for the term 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2020. Mr Sethupillai Ganesan accepted nominations for both Honorary Treasurer and Executive Committee Member. The members present at the AGM discussed the issue whether to allow a nominee to accept nominations for more than one Executive Committee position, or to rule that each nominee can only accept nomination for one Executive Committee position. The members then voted, through a show of hands, to establish the rule that each nominee can only accept nomination for one Executive Committee position. Following the

44TH annual gEnEral MEETIng

ruling, the AGM requested Mr Ganesan to choose one of the two positions he was nominated for. Mr Ganesan chose to accept the nomination for Honorary Treasurer and withdrew the nomination for Executive Committee Member.

As Mr Sethupillai Ganesan and Mr Roger Lim Boon Chiow were both nominated by members to the position of Honorary Treasurer, eligible voting members cast their individual votes to choose the candidate for Honorary Treasurer. After all votes were dropped into the ballot box, the voting slips were counted in the presence of selected observers. Mr. Sethupillai Ganesan received 11 votes while Mr. Roger Lim Boon Chiow received 61 votes. The Members had chosen Mr Roger Lim Boon Chiow as the Honorary Treasurer.

For the other nine positions of the Executive Committee, only one nomination was received for each of the nine positions. Thus, there was no contesting nomination for those positions. It was officially declared at the AGM that the following Members were duly elected as the Executive Committee for the term 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2020:

president Mr. Bernard Soh Hong Kuanvice president Mr. Niranjan MasurekarHonorary Secretary Mr. Darajit DaudHonorary assistant Secretary Mr. Seah Liang BingHonorary Treasurer Mr. Roger Lim Boon ChiowExecutive committee Members: Ms. Michelle Lam Mei San Mr. Eric Law Wei KwangMr. Mohd Ridzwan Bin MohammadMr. Ong Pak ShoonMr. Tan Yen Ping

Following the election of the Executive Committee, Mr. Bernard Son Hong Kuan thanked the members for attending the AGM, and for supporting him and his Executive Committee team. He reiterated that there remains a lot more work to be done at SISO and added that Members are most welcomed to help carry out the various projects and programmes. Thus, the Executive Committee will be inviting Members to join the Executive Committee as co-opted Executive Committee Members. In addition, other Members will be invited to participate in various key projects and programmes.

As the last item of the AGM, Mr. Bernard Soh Hong Kuan and Mr. Roger Lim Boon Chiow addressed a list of suggestions and issues received from one of the Members.

Following a warm welcome speech by Mr Vivek Kumar, Assistant Director General, NTUC, Mr Bernard Soh, President, SISO, presented an update on the SISO Professional Standard for WSH Professionals.

The evening’s highlight was the dinner where Mr Chan went around and engaged in conversations with the SISO members present. Laughter and merriment made the atmosphere at the event seem like a “family gathering” of brothers and sisters.

It was a casual yet very meaningful and memorable event. Indeed, one SISO member quipped, “This is unforgettable because it’s the first time I had dinner on Valentine’s Day with a Minister!”

announcEMEnT of Mr ng cHEE MEng, MInISTEr for EducaTIon (ScHoolS) and SEcond MInISTEr for TranSporT aS SISo advISorOn 7 July 2017, SISO Executive Committee invited Mr Ng Chee Meng, Minister for Education (Schools) and Second Minister for Transport to a lunch meeting, following his kind acceptance to be SISO’s Advisor. Mr Vivek Kumar, Asst Director-General, NTUC, and Ms Angeline Lee, Deputy Director, U Associate, who had kindly facilitated

the tie-up with the Minister, were also present at the introductory meeting.At the meeting, Minister Ng shared his perspectives about workplace safety and health, in particular some of his personal experiences relating to safety during his career with the Singapore Armed Forces. He also shared invaluable insights about “life-long learning”. In addition, he took time to listen to the views expressed by the Executive Committee members. He was particularly interested to know more about the challenges faced by the workplace safety and health community.

Mr Bernard Soh, President, SISO, said, “The primary objective of meeting Minister Ng today was to introduce SISO to the Minister, to find areas of alignment between the Minister’s perspectives and SISO’s overall objectives, Vision and Mission, and to explore how we could work with the Minister to achieve SISO’s Vision and Mission. From what transpired during this meeting, we were excited to discover several areas of conceptual and strategic alignment, such as the importance of “life-long learning” and how to position and promote Workplace Safety and Health. These areas of alignment would allow us to forge an effective, collaborative relationship with our Advisor. Thus, our next step is to plan and develop a strategic blueprint for working together with the Minister.”

As part of the follow-up plans, a dialogue session with the Minister was arranged for SISO’s members on 9 November 2017, for the Minister tohave a better understanding of the challenges faced by the WSH workforce.


MoBIlE work-aT-HEIgHTSafETy clInIcFrom August 2017 to February 2018, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and SISO collaborated and conducted the second edition of the Mobile Work-at-Height (WAH) Safety Clinic, where 13 SISO Professional Members volunteered to visit construction worksites and conduct safety clinics for workers.

The objective of the programme was to raise awareness and competency in managing WAH risks for employers, senior management and workers at these construction workplaces. 2017’s Mobile WAH Clinic reached out to a large pool of the workforce to impart the knowledge and expert advice from WSH professionals. The target is to conduct 300 Mobile WAH clinics, which is almost a fourfold increase from the80 visits targeted in the pilot programme in 2016.

This year’s Mobile WAH Clinic included many new components. One new component is the inclusion of technology so that workers can experience and learn how technology can help keep them safe. One such technology is the use of Virtual Reality (VR) where workers and staff were given the opportunity to experience virtual fall prevention while working at height.

Another unique technology introduced at the Clinic was the Roughness Tester, which is a portable handheld device. This measuring instrument can be used to determine whether any surface area in the workplace poses a slip and fall risk.

Although the main focus of the Clinic is on fall prevention, it also aims to create basic awareness on onsite vehicular safety. The Workplace Traffic Management Plan was highlighted and introduced during the site visits.


It not only helps to effectively manage traffic and operation of vehicles at the workplace but also helps to identify inherent risks and hazards whereby measures can be taken to mitigate them.

In line with Total WSH, the mobile clinics also included a Health Check station for workers. Basic health checks, using blood pressure monitors, temperature readings, as well as education on heat stroke and fatigue management, were also conducted.

Over a period of about six months, SISO’s volunteers reached out to the workers with the above package of workplace safety and health topics and worked side by side with MOM’s appointed vendor at selected work sites.

SISo MEMBErS’ nIgHT 2017SISO held its annual SISO Members’ Night at Amara Hotel on 7 July 2017. This year’s theme was “Denim Nite” and many of the guests and members came dressed in their denim best. Combined with country western music in the background, the networking and camaraderie flowed easily at this night of dining, fun, laughter and lucky draw prizes.

A total of about 180 attended the event, including guests from the WSH Council, Sports Singapore, National Trades Union Congress, friends from various associations, and of course, our dear SISO Members.

The evening’s entertainment was a tremendous success. One guest wrotein to thank SISO for an enjoyable evening and added that she had not laughed so much in a long, long time.

One of the surprise highlights of the evening was the recognition of newly-joined SISO members as well as those who have been loyal members for 20 years and more. These members were

invited up on stage to receive tokens of appreciation in front of peers and fellow-members.

Mr. Darajit Daud, Chairman of the Members’ Night Organizing Committee, aptly rounded up the memorable night of entertainment when he said, “It was the members and guests who had made this the best-ever Members’ Night! My team and I are very grateful for the fantastic support provided by the members and guests, who had whole-heartedly participated in the various games and activities. Your participation energized us and motivated us! Thank you once again!”

Some of our members sent in feedback about the event.

Mr. C. K. Yim said, “It was an enjoyable Members’ Night event last night. Congratulations on the success.”

Mr. Ken Quah wrote, “Thanks for the Members’ Night event that was organised, I give it two thumbs!”

Mr. Yim and Mr. Quah, your comments are very much appreciated! Thank you!!

SISO purchased ten passes to distribute to SISO members and other WSH professionals who were otherwise unable to attend the event because they were in between jobs. Eventually, ten lucky SISO members received the passes through a balloting process and benefitted from the Congress proceedings where they expanded their knowledge, insights, as well as their network of contacts.

From 7 to 9 September 2017, SISO and the NSCS jointly hosted the APOSHO 32 Annual General Meeting and the APOSHO 32 Conference. The Annual General Meeting (AGM), with about 100 delegates from 19 countries and districts in the Asia Pacific Region, was held at the Senate Room, Temasek Polytechnic, on Saturday, 9 September 2017. The AGM was chaired by Mr Ameerali Abdeali, Chairman, APOSHO 32 and President, NSCS.

On 31 August 2017, SISO’s Executive Committee hosted dinner for the INSHPO delegates. Over delicious local delicacies like the famous Singapore chilli crabs, invaluable friendships were established and many fond memories were made. As the XXI World Congress on Safety and Health at Work was also held in Singapore from 3 to 6 September 2017, the INSHPO members stayed on to attend the Congress.

SIngaporE accord on THE STandardS of oHS profESSIonalS

On 3 September 2017, just before the Opening Ceremony of the World Congress, representatives from businesses, unions, educational institutions, governments and public authorities, professional organisations, and experts in occupational health and safety (OHS) joined members of the International Network of Safety and Health Practitioner Organisations (INSHPO) to sign the Singapore Accord on the Standards of OHS Professionals.

Held at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre, the event reflects the signatories’ commitment to improving OHS professional and practitioner capabilities


so that they may more effectively guide and lead the creation of healthier and safer workplaces.

Mr Chan Chun Sing, Secretary-General, National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), was the Guest-of-Honour at theSigning Ceremony.

The Singapore Accord is a call to action initiated by SISO and organised by INSHPO. It calls for OHS professional and practitioner organisations around the world to commit to the Global Vision of Prevention through the adoption of a global framework for good OHS practice. INSHPO developed the framework which seeks to uphold high standards of practice among health and safety professionals and practitioners. SISO chairs the Singapore Accord Steering Committee comprising nine members from five countries.

As at 31 December 2017, 50 organisations from 19 countries have signed the Singapore Accord. This is the largest grouping of organisations committing to a common framework to improve the capabilities of OHS professionals and practitioners so that they may more effectively guide and lead the creation and sustainability of healthier andsafer workplaces.

SISO, being one of the signatory organisations, has moved beyond just signing the Accord. It has launched the SISO WSH Professional Standard and has also developed a Career Progression Pathway that provides a lifelong career roadmap for WSH Professionals who wish to elevate their knowledge, skills and competencies and chart their career paths.

I have no doubt that our overall safety standards have vastly improved from the effective

implementation of the best practices we learned from each other. Apart from being a sharing platform, APOSHO also provides the best avenue for interaction between safety professionals and more importantly, the establishment of close and lasting friendships amongst us. In this regard, I have been greatly privileged to make so many good friends. This is truly a priceless reward in our APOSHO journey.”

SyMpoSIuM on “oHS profESSIonal STandardS for a SafE, HEalTHy and producTIvE work lIfE”On 6 September 2017, together with INSHPO and the National Safety Council of Singapore (NSCS), SISO organised a symposium entitled “OHS Professional

Standards for a Safe, Healthy and Productive Work Life”. The symposium was held as part of the three-day programme for the XXI WorldCongress on Safety and Health at Work. The symposium highlighted the Singapore Accord on the Standards of OHS Professionals.

15TH SISo wSHo confErEncEThe 15th SISO Workplace Safety and Health Officers (WSHO) Conference was held on 5 October 2017 at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre. With a theme of “Vision Zero: A Mindset Change Towards Zero Harm”, this year’s Conference had strong support from the

In addition, there was also a dialogue session, where delegates engaged in discussions on a wide variety of subjects with a panel of experts comprising Mr Ameerali Abdeali, President, NSCS, Mr Law Chi Ming, Secretary-General, APOSHO, Mr Niranjan Masurekar, Vice President, SISO, and Mr Winston Yew, Deputy Director, Workplace Safety and Health Council, Singapore.

Ministry of Manpower, the Workplace Safety and Health Council, the Workplace Safety and Health Institute, the National Trades Union Council, and Conference and Exhibition Management Services Pte Ltd (CEMS).

Guest-of-Honour, Mr Sam Tan, Minister of State, Ministry of Manpower, said in his Opening Address, “The theme of the Conference refers to a mindset change to achieve zero harm. Workplace Safety and Health must become second nature to everyone. Employers and workers alike must be constantly aware of safety risks at workplaces and be able to manage these risks.

That is a huge task. Almost impossible, some may say. But I believe Singapore is well-placed to achieve this mindset change. Our tripartite partners work closely with various government agencies to actively support the WSH community. With the commitment and efforts of our professional associations, institutions of higher learning, and WSH-related organisations – we can achieve a unique, effective, national WSH mindset.”

The Conference was the platform for the MOU signing ceremony between SISO Academy and the School of Continuing and Lifelong Education (SCALE), NUS, to collaborate in the area of WSH professional development training and other training courses. With this MOU, the Senior Leadership Programme for WSH Professionals will be the first programme jointly developed by SCALE and SISO and it will be made available in 2018.

dIaloguE SESSIon BETwEEn SISo advISor and SISo MEMBErSOn 9 November 2017, SISO organised a dialogue session with Mr Ng Chee Meng, Minister for Education (Schools), Second Minister for Transport, and SISO Advisor. About 50 members from a wide range of industries attended the dialogue session.

Minister Ng opened the dialogue by sharing that he was very happy to accept the invitation to be SISO’s Advisor. The members had a very engaging dialogue session, which extended well beyond the scheduled 90 minutes to more than two hours.


The members raised many concerns, including finding jobs for those currently unemployed, upgrading themselves professionally, introducing workplace safety and health to school students,and parenting issues. Minister Ng shared his views and offered suggestions and ideas. In particular, Minister Ng emphasised that SISO members must continue to improve themselves professionally while staying currentand relevant.

THE IMporTancE of SafETy and SEcurITy for InduSTry 4.0

Mr denis TanManaging Director, Pilz South East Asia Pte Ltd; [email protected]

InduSTry 4.0

The term Industry 4.0 is a hot topic in the

field of manufacturing. If you have heard of it but wondered what it meant, this article hopes to shed some light on it, as well as address the critical factors that play a role in its success.

Industry 4.0 is defined as the fourth industrial revolution that utilises internet technologies in the automation of manufacturing processes. The result of this is flexible, efficient and customised mass production.

In the world of Industry 4.0, machines will operate independently or cooperate with man to create a production field that is customer-oriented and self-sustaining, collecting data, analysing and advising upon it. The communication between machines and machine and humans, constitute the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of People (IoP) respectively. This highly networked structure involving people, IT systems, automatic components and machines creates a cyber-physical production system (CPPS) (Cleverism, 2017). The boundaries between the virtual and the physical world cease to exist in this system also known as The Smart Factory.

Industry 4.0 is an initiative part of the German government’s high tech strategy moving forward to 2020, in response to rising demands on productivity, flexibility and availability of plant and machinery. In Singapore, the adoption of Industry 4.0 would fit well into the government’s plan of Smart Nation. Although the shift in that direction might take 20 years to reach the desired outcome, key advances are projected to be established in the next 5 to 10 years (Gov.sg, 2016). As specialists in automation technology, Pilz plays an active role in making Industry 4.0 a reality in Germany. As well as being a member of SmartFactory KL demonstration and research platform and developing standards for Industry 4.0, Pilz has created innovative solutions for the automation of the future.

Industry 4.0 is defined as the fourth industrial revolution that utilises internet technologies in the automation of manufacturing processes.

Based on research, the adoption of Industry 4.0 could reap significant benefits for manufacturers. However, the safety requirements poses a challenge when the world of automation meets IT. Safety and Security are critical factors in the Industry 4.0 plant as they have interfaces and systems are constantly interacting.

SafETy and SEcurITy – Two SIdES of THE SaME coInDigital and efficient data exchange will define the production process in future. The level of network will increase, providing a benchmark for factory productivity. If all communication is decentralised and machines autonomously make their own decisions, the demand of secure communication will rise and aspects of both Safety and Security are equally involved. To provide readers with a basic differentiation between the two, Safety refers to machinery safety and Security is determined by IT and data security.

The term safety refers to the functional safety of machines. Functional safety is defined as ‘part of the overall safety that depends on system or equipment operating correctly in response to its inputs’ (International Electrotechnical Commission, 2017). It serves to protect man and environment from threats emanating from machinery. Furthermore, it includes hazards to the plant’s surroundings (e.g. environmental damage) and hazards inside the plant or machine (e.g. persons inside the plant).

In the case of an emergency, one option is to interrupt the power supply and hard stop the machine. This is achieved through specific safety-related wiring and components such as safety relays. As this approach is hardware-based and ‘static’, it is not suitable for intelligent manufacturing processes, in which the plant layout constantly needs to be changed. This could ultimately lead to hard shutdown, downtimes and loss of productivity, which equates to cost for the company.

dynaMIc concEpT of SafETy Dynamic concept of Safety offers an alternative to changing automation processes and functional safety requirements. Instead of a hardware feature, it is viewed as a cross-device function. This approach allows processes to be operated in a safely controlled manner, without the need for interruption every time a fault occurs. This dynamic approach can only be implemented if functional safety is built into the automation projects during the planning stage.

Previously, the ‘static’ approach. One unit fails and the entire production line stops. This leads to a loss in productivity. Partial maintenance cannot be performed while the machine is running. Everything must continue sequentially.

The ‘dynamic’ approach, with safety equipment provided, there is a safe process control. Implementing safeguards can protect both operator and machine. The machine stops when the sensor technology detects the operator is about to enter. After inspection, the operator can reset the stop and continue the production flow without long standstill times.

THE lEvEl of nETworkIng IS IncrEaSIngly BEcoMIng a dETErMInIng facTor for producTIonToday’s communication systems are increasingly open, manufacturing plants are now connected to the IT world and the Internet. If no measures are implemented, plant and machinery become susceptible to cyberattacks. This increases the risk of unauthorised or unnoticed access. According to a report on 2016 Cyber Security Intelligence Index, cyberattacks on the manufacturing sector is on the rise, with Automotive manufacturers top targets for criminals, accounting for 30% of all cyberattacks in 2015 (Perelman, 2016).

Security is concerned with protecting a plant or machine from unauthorised access from outside, as well as protecting sensitive data from corruption, loss and unauthorised access internally. This includes explicit attacks as well as unintended security incidents.

The background to security is that, in contrast to functional safety, security mechanisms have to be continuously adapted to the threat level. For example, the threat from an occasional update, given that viruses, worms, trojans etc. are constantly developing and security gaps can ultimately compromise production, with all its functional elements.

In order to react flexibly to the respective threat scenario, a multi-layered security strategy is utilised. It can be viewed from bottom up starting from automation components, followed by network, via which these components communicate with each other. Finally, the top layer is the factory, which is shielded from the outside by a special firewall concept.

In terms of networking, the recipe for success is ‘defence in depth’: layered security mechanisms that aims to increase the security of the system. It requires an automation network that is divided into various zones, within which devices are allowed to communicate with each other. Data exchange with devices in other zones is only possible via a single transfer, which is monitored via a safe router or firewall and blocks all irrelevant

information. Even if an attacker should succeed in penetrating one zone, only the devices in that zone would be at risk; all others would remain safe.

Ultimately, safety applications can be protected against the threats from the cyberworld only by combining a variety of measures and security guidelines, which are thoroughly respected by all involved. However, technical measures alone are not enough, they must be supported by organisational measures and training.

concluSIonIndustry 4.0 aims to connect the IT with the automation world and there will be higher demands in Safety and Security to protect threats from IT access.

Safety and security are two different areas but are closely linked in terms of standardisation and procedure in the engineering process. The respective safety measures must not compromise the availability of plant and machinery.

When it comes to implementation, many processes and experiences from the world of safety can be transferred directly to the world of security. The field of safety is already characterised by considerable security of investment and legal certainty. That is partly due to the need to comply with norms and standards. As a result, terms such as Safety Integrity Level (SIL) are clearly defined worldwide and uniform classification into hazard classes and risk assessments is also possible. In future, further indicators will be required for the interplay of safety and security in terms of standardisation. However, it will also be increasingly important to consider the needs of the user from the start, when developing solutions and limit the complexity – after all, simplicity is (operator) safety.

SISO’s collaboration with NTUC through the U Associate programme

has grown from strength to strength. A key benefit of this collaboration has been a greater understanding of Union members’ concerns and other U Associate Members’ perspective so that we can better support and leverage on each other’s strengths. One such collaboration has been with the Oil, Petrochemical, Energy and Chemical (OPEC) cluster to introduce and create awareness of our Career Progression Pathway (CPP). The CPP allows organisations to better develop WSH job descriptions that target the right candidate for recruitment in WSH positions. This in turn, will serve as a basis for a more effective performance evaluation and a targeted WSH professional development programme.

This close partnership has been recognised as having value-add to unions/members and through support of these unions, SISO was one of 4 nominated and awarded the ‘U Partner Award’. U Recognition Award is an initiative by NTUC membership Department to recognise Unions’ efforts and contributions in membership growth.

The award was presented by Ms Mary Liew, NTUC President at the U Recognition Ceremony on 28 March 2018 at NTUC Centre, One Marina Boulevard and witnessed by Mr Chan Chun Sing, NTUC Secretary General.

SISO members who volunteered for the MOM-

SISO Mobile Work-At-Heights Clinic 2017 received their Certificate of Appreciation on 23rd March 2018 at the Programme-Based Engagement (ProBE) Plus Forum 2018, held at Max Atria@Singapore Expo. The forum was co-organised by the Ministry of Manpower and the Workplace Safety and Health Council and supported by the WSH Institute.

The Guest-of-Honour, Mr Heng Chiang Gnee, Chairman of the Workplace Safety and Health Council, gave away certificates to the volunteers in the presence of close to 500 participants to the forum.

The Mobile WAH Clinic was started in 2016 as a MOM-SISO collaboration. The objective was to provide compliance assistance for 80 SMEs, while raising awareness and guiding workers on WAH safety at their workplaces. The programme proved very successful and was well received by the industry.

In order to expand the reach and depth of deployment in 2017, MOM engaged a vendor, and together with SISO volunteers, rolled out an interactive engagement programme that not only

MoM-SISo MoBIlE work-aT-HEIgHTS clInIc volunTEErS rEcognISEd

provided on-site practical guidance on work-at-height safety but also deployable ‘POD stations’ which provided virtual reality WAH experience and health checks.

In all, 13 SISO members contributed a total of more than 120 man-hours to the clinic. SISO was also presented with an appreciation plaque for the collaboration and dedication to this programme.SISO salute the following volunteers to the 2017 clinic:

Kenneth Seah Wei Zhong, Poon Choon Shiong, Vijayen s/o Ramachandra, Amriq Ali Bin Mohamed Bashir, Goh Chee Keong, Cheng Lee Kiow, Sukiman Abdul Hamid, Desmond Ho Wee Shoong, Melvin Tan Cher Tong, Anthony Poh Thiam Beng, Suzaini bin Husen, Thomas Fong Wai Hoong and Daniel Lee Mun Ching.

Stay Safe at Heights

“I joined the MOM-SISO Mobile Work-at-Heights Clinic programme because I believed in caring for the workers and sharing with the various stakeholders what little knowledge and experience

that I have. I didn’t expect to go on stage to receive a Certificate of Appreciation from the Chairman of WSH Council, in front of an audience comprising hundreds of my peers in the WSH profession. This is such an honour and I am truly humbled to be recognised in such a manner. This will motivate me to do more as a SISO member and give back to the WSH community and industry.”

– Vijayyen s/o ramachandra, who volunteered more than 5 site visits.

The forum also saw a presentation by Mr Gerald Tan, on behalf of SISO, entitled, ‘Stay Safe At Heights’.
