CBF-1: Labour Market Regulation and Enforcement
Effective continuity of Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Oversight during a disaster is essential to ensure the safety, health, and welfare of the workforce in Singapore.
The Ministry of Manpower (MOM), as the regulatory authority, must be able to maintain its core functions under disrupted conditions, with minimal impact on service delivery, enforcement, and regulatory compliance.
This chapter outlines the minimum resources required to sustain critical business processes (Sub-CBFs) under CBF-3 WSH Oversight during a disaster.
The table below provides guidance on the recovery location, staffing, infrastructure, and equipment required for each Sub-CBF to ensure operational resilience and rapid restoration of essential functions.

The Ministry of Manpower’s ability to sustain WSH oversight functions during a disaster relies on pre-defined minimum resources, including personnel, equipment, technology, and recovery locations.
By ensuring that each Sub-CBF has adequate resources allocated, MOM can maintain regulatory enforcement, monitor workplace safety, and respond effectively to incidents without significant disruption.
This resource planning framework not only supports operational resilience but also safeguards workforce welfare and public trust in Singapore’s occupational health and safety system.
