WSH Advocate

Programme Overview

The WSH Advocate Programme brings together major service buyers with extensive supply chains to champion WSH excellence across industries. These WSH Advocates play a crucial role in influencing their contractors, particularly SMEs, to adopt robust WSH practices. 

The WSH Advocates play a “queen bee” role to nurture higher WSH standards among contractors by doing the following:

• Require all contractors and sub-contractors doing manual work in their premises to have WSH accreditation, such as at least bizSAFE Level 3; 
• Favour awarding contracts to safer contractors, by making good WSH performance a qualifying criterion to a vendor, or by putting weightage on past WSH performance in evaluating prospective contractors; 
• Reward contractors for good WSH performance on their projects, through greater preference for future contracts, or with monetary bonuses; and
• Develop contractors’ and sub-contractors’ WSH capability through sharing best practices, training or engagement opportunities.  

Through this partnership with the WSH Council, the WSH Advocates help to reinforce the principle that good WSH performance is good for business, not just for themselves, but for their contractor pool as well.  

Companies with extensive supply chains that are interested in being recognised as a WSH Advocate for progressive procurement practices can contact the WSH Council at wshadvocate@wshc.sg to be considered for induction.

Partnership Agreement Signing Ceremony 

On 27 January 2025, the inaugural batch of 18 WSH Advocates cemented their commitment to the WSH Advocate Programme by signing a Partnership Agreement with the WSH Council.

Witnessed by the WSH Council Chairman, Mr Abu Bakar Mohd Nor, the ceremony reinforced the importance of progressive procurement practices in promoting safer workplaces.
