Workplace Mishaps Up
SIXTY-SEVEN workers died in work accidents last year, compared with 63 in 2007 - putting a dent in Singapore's push to keep its worksites safer.
Still, the workplace fatality rate inched lower to 2.8 deaths per 100,000 workers compared to 2.9 in 2007.
A total of 11,072 workers were hurt last year - about 30 every day, on average - up nearly 11 per cent from 2007.
The latest casaulty figures were released yesterday by the Workplace Safety and Health Council at its Programme-Based Engagement seminar at the HDB Hub in Toa Payoh.
