BSG webinar highlights technology and health, and witnesses the formation of first Vision Zero cluster for the manufacturing sector
 
The Bedok Safety Group (BSG), with the support of the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Council, held its annual webinar on 12-13 October 2021. Over 800 participants bore witness to BSG’s appointment as the first Vision Zero cluster for the manufacturing sector. 

Vision Zero is an ongoing movement that calls for the commitment of all stakeholders to embrace a mindset that all injuries and ill-health at work are preventable, and zero harm is possible. This involves having a strong culture of WSH. 

Over the two-day webinar, participants saw many examples of how technology can be beneficial in improving WSH: 
• Yokogawa shared how extended reality had the potential to humanise technology in skills training to achieve safe hands. 
• AU Optronics gave a presentation on how engaging in digital transformation would aid in holistic and dynamic risk assessments to be calculated in real time. 

The event also touched on health covering common issues faced when working from home, such as glaucoma, myopia, diabetes, and mental well-being issues such as stress from working in a less than ideal environment.  
 
The Slips, Trips and Falls (STFs) Campaign 2021 was also shared with the participants, encouraging them to make their own resolutions for STF within their companies. As STF remains one of the top causes of non-fatal injuries, the WSH Council encourages all to join the STF Campaign 2021 to take time to care for their employees’ safety and health.
