In its commitment to keep industry stakeholders well-informed, SCIC organised the Joint Agencies Dialogue Session 2023. This annual event was held on 24 November 2023 at Ritz Carlton Hotel. It served as a platform for members to stay abreast of key updates in regulatory developments for the chemical industry.
The dialogue session brought together agencies including the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), National Environment Agency (NEA), Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and Singapore Police Force (SPF).
The topics shared include:
- Updates on SAFE measures
- Heat Stress Management at Workplaces
- Updates on Per-and Polyfluroroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
- Chemical Reporting Framework
- Fire incident Statistics & Case Studies
- New legislation, Guns, Explosives & Weapons Control Act (GEWCA)
- Global Framework on Chemicals
The highlight of the session was the panel discussion that followed the presentations. The interactive session provided an opportunity for members to exchange ideas, insights, comments and feedback.
A copy of the presentation slides and a summary of notes would be circulated to members in due course.
