Element Singapore Invests over S$3m into Improving Site Safety

Leading testing, inspection, and certification provider Element Singapore has reinforced its commitment to safe working conditions for construction site employees in Singapore through significant investments into safer transportation, new drilling equipment, and improved safety procedures and processes.

The investment of over S$3m means Element Singapore, part of the global Element Materials Technology group now operates 14 minibuses that help transport over 200 employees employed with its Geotechnical Services daily from their accommodation to various construction sites. The minibuses are all equipped with three-point inertia-reel type seatbelts to ensure the safety of the passengers.

Element has also invested into new drilling equipment with enhanced safety features. This upgrade will help prevent accidents and equipment damage, ensuring a safer and more efficient drilling operation.

Alongside the major outlay into its fleet, Element has implemented the use of rod lifting safety tools for safer manual handling of casing. The lifting tool safeguards against hand injuries by allowing employees to carry heavy metal pipes ergonomically while keeping their hands away from potentially dangerous pinch points.
