Enhanced Measures to Reduce HEAT STRESS Risk for Outdoor Work
"Employers are required to monitor the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) for every hour of outdoor work performed, especially during the hotter periods of the day. Construction sites with a contract sun of S$5million or more, shipyards and the process industry, will be required to have a WBGT meter on site for localised measurements as these workplaces are likely to have prolonged outdoor activities."
Requirement of WBGT meter on site for localised measurement is effective from 1 January 2024

"What are the permissible heat exposure limits?
The risk of heat-related stress depends on the WBGT. In general, the following criteria can be used for risk assessment:
Low : WBGT °C
Moderate : WBGT 31 °C to 31.9 °C
High : ≥ 32 °C
There are two sets of permissible WBGT, namely the Threshold Limit Values WBGT for acclimatised workers (Table A1) and Action Limit WBGT for unacclimatised workers (Table A2) . The permissible WBGT values depend on two basic parameters: metabolic demands of the task and work-rest cycle (percentage or proportion of work within an hour)."

Important Note: More information on the computation of WBGT and the permissible limits for various scenarios can be found in Annex A (from Workplace Safety and Health Guidelines - Managing Heat Stress in the Workplace published by WSH Council second revision: 2020.)
