Emergency Management Planning & Consultancy
Emergency Management
A workplace emergency is an unforeseen situation that threatens your employees, customers, or the public; disrupts or shuts down your operations; or causes physical or environmental damage. Emergencies may be natural or manmade and include the following:
- Floods
- Tremors
- Tsunami
- Power outage
- Fires
- Toxic gas releases
- Chemical spills
- Radiological accidents
- Explosions
- Civil disturbances
- Workplace violence resulting in bodily harm and trauma
The best way is to prepare to respond to an emergency before it happens. Few people can think clearly and logically in a crisis, so it is important to do so in advance, when you have time to be thorough.

Emergency Management Program
FM One’s emergency management program is based on the framework of the four phases of emergency management: Prevention-mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery.
Each phase influences the other three phases and are highly interconnected.
Phase 1: Prevention & Mitigation
Prevention is the action taken to decrease the likelihood that an event or crisis will occur. Mitigation is the action taken to eliminate or reduce the loss of life and property damage related to an event or crisis, particularly those that cannot be prevented. The phase 1 of the emergency management program is a process of risk management. This process comprises of risk assessment, risk monitoring and risk communication with a key objective to reduce risks at source by requiring all stakeholders to eliminate or minimize the risks they create.
Risk Assessment
Risk assessment is a tool that provides a systematic approach in recognising hazards due to a job or task, evaluating the risks and implementing all reasonably practicable measures to prevent accidents from happening. To put it in a more simply, the tool demands one to think what could go wrong before and while carrying out his or her work and determine if adequate measures are in place to prevent a mishap.
Risk assessment comprises three steps i.e., hazard identification, risk evaluation and risk controls. Two terms used in risk assessment i.e., hazard and risk are defined as:
- Hazard – any source that has the potential to cause harm or adverse effect on someone or something (e.g., injury, illness and property damage). It includes chemical, mechanical, physical, electrical and ergonomic hazards.
- Risk – the possibility or probability that one would be harmed or suffer from an adverse effect if exposed to a hazard with the consequence of the exposure taken into consideration. It may also apply to situations with property or equipment loss or damage
FMO offers a variety of Prevention & Mitigation programs including:

Phase 2: Preparedness
Planning, organizing, training, equipping, exercising, evaluating and taking corrective action in an effort to ensure effective coordination during incident response are the essential elements of Preparedness. These activities ensure that when a disaster strikes, emergency personnel will be able to provide the best response possible. Preparedness is not limited to the emergency response community. You should take steps to ensure that you are personally prepared for emergencies and disasters, both at work and home. See the emergency handbook from Singapore Civil Defense Force (SCDF) for more information.
Under the Fire Safety Act (Chapter 109A), all premises with Fire Safety Managers (FSM) are required to set up a Company Emergency Response Team (CERT) by 1st March 2014.

Workplace Safety & Health Management
Under the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Act, employers, self-employed and principals (including contractors and sub-contractors) are required to manage risks at work while employees must adhere to safe work practices. WSH is about preventing work-related injuries and occupational diseases (ODs), and creating a work environment that is safe and healthy. Good WSH management can improve work productivity and efficiency and this, in turn, will enhance business competitiveness and benefit the business.
The framework adopted by Singapore to improve WSH standards and safety outcomes is based on three key principles:
- Reducing risks at source by requiring all stakeholders to eliminate or minimise the risks they create;
- Engendering greater industry ownership of WSH outcomes; and
- Preventing accidents through higher penalties for poor safety management.
Under the Singapore WSH (Risk Management) Regulations 2006, the owner or occupier of all public or industrial buildings are required to implement Risk Management System that involves:
- Establishing a Risk Management team
- Carry out Risk Assessments (RA) for all functions
- Developing & Implementing Safe Work Procedures (SWP)
- Implementing control measures
- Communication to all stakeholders
We offer one-stop Workplace Safety & Health Management and Consultancy services:
- Provision of Workplace Safety & Health Officer (WHSO) & Coordinator (WSHC) & Management Services

The CERT Scheme was expanded to include a broader group of Public and Industrial premises with the amendments to the Fire Safety Act on 01 September 2013 and 01 March 2014.
Under the scheme, the owner of premise is to ensure that the CERT members undergo specific training and periodic assessments as the Commissioner may specify; and;

Any owner or occupier of specified premises who contravenes paragraph (1) shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or to both.
The periodic assessments for the CERT compliance is based on the authority’s CERT audit guidelines:
