Heng Chee How on maintaining safety of SAF training
Each year, the Singapore Armed Forces’ Inspector-General's Office (IGO) conducts 40 to 50 physical audits and reviews of safety standards and practices involving SAF formations and units. Inspections cover areas such as safety policies, management system and culture, day-to-day practices, compliance with training safety instructions, and attention of commanders to safety outcomes. The IGO also looks into notable safety incidents and near-misses to establish their root causes, determine if there were safety lapses and recommend corrective actions where necessary. The IGO taps external experts and review panels for its work. Particular attention may also be paid to strengthening safety in specific areas from time to time. In recent years, these have included reducing vehicular incidents and heat injuries. Senior Minister of State for Defence Heng Chee How said this in Parliament on Wednesday (Oct 16) in response to a Member’s questions.
