SINGAPORE: A small organization of foreign-structured personnel can return to paintings without having to seek approval from the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) as a component of the resumption of paints with existing safeguards.
This includes personnel involved in home renovation, as well as paintings such as elevator maintenance, facility management, maintenance of vector sites and structures.
About 40,000 employees are expected to benefit, BCA said in a press Wednesday.
The announcement occurs when the COVID-19 was removed from the maximum foreign dormitories.
Workers who are allowed to return to the paintings will have to face several situations: they will have to be by coronavirus, they are not warned to remain in the house and remain in coVID-19-free bedrooms. You must also have the TraceTogether application installed.
Those in those situations will have their AccessCode prestige on the SGWorkPass platform in green, which means they will be allowed back to work.
Companies have yet to apply for permission to resume paintings at structure sites and supply paint space, BCA said.
“The main contractors will continue to nominate on behalf of their subcontractors and subcontractors for such work,” the authority said.
The restriction that restricts structure projects to allow staff up to 10 housing addresses will also be temporarily suspended to facilitate faster resetting of the structure.
“In the meantime, employers work to organize their foreign staff into their homes, at least according to the employer,” BCA said.
The authority added that employers and accommodation operators also deserve to continue painting heavily in combination to make certain life situations and supply committed shipments to foreign painters.
“Employers deserve to take into account as many staff on site as possible and enforce strict zoning of their workforce, and to ensure that staff who live in other homes or perform other activities are not intermingling on the site.
“BCA will largely monitor the situation by intensifying audits and inspections at the structure sites,” he said.
Consolidation will also be carried out in 43 bedrooms approved by the Foreign Employees Dormitories Act to minimize worker readiness. These bedrooms have space for about 160,000 workers.
Employers and staff will be informed in advance of the cohort schedule, so staff can prepare for the shift, adding packing their belongings, BCA said.
Workers living in open dormitories with prestigious AccessCode “green” will be allowed to continue running while the training is taking place, which must be completed until September 30.
AccessCode statuses of staff in dormitories that do not on that date will be set to “red” and will no longer be able to work, BCA added.
Foreigners living in dormitories accounted for the majority of COVID-19 cases reported in Singapore.
Authorities said Tuesday that they are “actively monitoring” the dormitories of foreign staff to handle the threat of additional outbreaks even after the final touch of testing for all foreign personnel living there.
Several control measures have been explained to minimize the threat of infection, adding temperature controls, sewage tracking in high-risk dormitories and normal regime testing.
“With more movements in and out of the bedrooms, it is even more vital that everyone stays alert to protect themselves from new infections,” the Ministry of Labour, the BCA, the Economic Development Council and the Health Promotion Council said in a joint statement. . Launch.
