bizSAFE Certificate Validity
Your company’s bizSAFE Level 1 certificate is valid for 6 months from the approval date, and is not renewable once it expires. We encourage companies to progress to bizSAFE Level 3 and above, which recognises that your company has conducted risk assessments for your workplace, in compliance with the requirements in the WSH (Risk Management) Regulations; as well as developed a Risk Management implementation plan that encompasses a WSH Policy and the required WSH training and documentation.
