The Straits Times
|October 17, 2024
These are specific areas that the SAF is paying attention to as it strengthens safety culture
The number of heat exhaustion injuries suffered by Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) servicemen has fallen from seven in 2021 to two in 2023, with no cases of heat stroke among these incidents.
The SAF's vehicle accident rate has also fallen from 3.04 per 100,000km in the 2021 work year to 2.54 per 100,000km in the 2023 work year, said Senior Minister of State for Defence Heng Chee How.
He did not mention the specific number of vehicle accidents. Mindef's work year runs from April 1 to March 31 the following year.
Mr Heng provided the figures in Parliament on Oct 16, in response to Nominated MP Neil Parekh's request for details of safety audits and review processes conducted by the SAF Inspector-General's Office (IGO).
Heat injuries and vehicle accidents are specific areas that the SAF is paying attention to as it seeks to strengthen its safety culture, Mr Heng said.
