A Study on the Comprehensive and Integrated Workplace Safety and Health Services in Singapore.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of comprehensiveness and integration of workplace safety and health (WSH) services (safety, occupational health, and well-being) in Singapore.


METHODS
Thirty workplaces from five different sectors comprising more than 28,000 workers were assessed using three custom-developed tools.


RESULTS
One quarter of the workplaces have applied the principles of comprehensive and integrated WSH. Among those that managed WSH comprehensively, workers were 4.4 times (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.33 to 8.25) more likely to be proud to work for their company, 7.4 times (95% CI, 3.96 to 13.90) more likely to be satisfied with their current job, and 1.7 times (95% CI, 1.21 to 2.32) more likely to balance the demands of work and home.


CONCLUSIONS
There is a need to enhance awareness and education on comprehensive and integrated WSH in Singapore companies.
