Safety and Health Management System (SHMS) Shipyard Audit

As a trustworthy WSHMS audit expert, Quality Safe ensures your workplace is compliant with the Safety and Health Management System regulation in Singapore.

Workplaces Requiring Audits

You must appoint a MOM-approved workplace safety and health auditor listed in the Singapore Accreditation Council Auditing Organisation schedule of an SAC-accredited WSH Auditing Organisation to regularly audit your SHMS if your workplace is a shipyard employing 200 or more people at least once every 12 months.

SHMS Audit Criteria

Workplace Safety & Health Requirements for Marine Industries (also known as Workplace Safety & Health Manual for Marine Industries)

Certification based on ISO 45001 is accepted as meeting the audit criteria under the following conditions:

  • Audit is done by an SAC-accredited Certification Body (CB) that is also an SAC-accredited Auditing Organisation (AO).
  • Audit is done by persons who are listed in the SAC AO Schedule and registered through WSH eServices.
  • Audit covers all the Workplace Safety and Health Requirements for Marine Industries published by WSH Council.

How do WSHMS Audits Work?

An organisation’s SHMS audits are conducted in compliance with all relevant legislation and guidelines appointed by the WSH for that specific industry.

As such, the assessment will use the WSH act and all other relevant requirements in order to accurately and fairly evaluate the organisation. This process is incredibly important to maintaining healthy and safe workplaces for people throughout Singapore.
