Under the WSH regulatory framework, risk management duties are imposed on every employer, self-employed person and principal (including contractor and sub-contractor). These parties must take all reasonably practicable measures to ensure that the workplace is safe to every person within its premises.

The revised code of practice on risk management was launched on 6 Feb 2015. The revised COP which was based on site observations and feedback by MOM and industry respectively will help companies better understand what risk management is and how to go about doing it. The effective implementation of the revised COP is expected to further reduce the risk of accidents at workplaces.
