The Code of Practice (CP) is not a piece of legislation. However, as it is issued only after extensive industry consultation, the industry standards for a specific type of work stipulated in the CP are considered expected industry standards. Hence, it may be cited as a reference in a court of law on what constitute ‘reasonably practicable’ measures.

CPs could be used in prosecutions to demonstrate whether the accused parties involved in a workplace accident have implemented ‘reasonably practicable measures’ to manage the risks that resulted in the accident. Accused parties may find it harder to defend themselves if they have not implemented measures deemed to be ‘reasonably practicable’ as determined by the CP. The CPs may also be cited in cases where parties are taken to task by MOM for safety infringements found during inspections that may not have led to any accidents. Between 6 months to 12 months after a CP has been released, the Workplace Safety and Health Council, Singapore (WSHC) will conduct an evaluation to determine its effectiveness in managing exposure to the identified risks. Thereafter, refinements may be considered where necessary.

ACOPs refer to Approved Codes of Practice. ACOPs would set preferred work practices or standards that industry practitioners are expected to adopt when managing workplace risks, unless an alternative course of action can achieve the same or better standard of health and safety in the workplace. Any Code of Practice issued directly by the WSHC would, by default, undergo official processes to be approved as an ACOP.
