The change in this policy is aligned to the new OSH framework which called for greater ownership of safety outcome from the industry. The introduction of the ATP scheme back in 1997 has enabled the industry to build up its capacity and capabilities to provide the training service, and respond to the training needs of the industry. Nevertheless, the Ministry will continue to focus on its role as a regulator to provide strategic directions and ensure quality delivery of OSH training in the industry.

SOS has identified NTUC Learning Hub as one of the training providers accredited by MOM. Supported under the SOS Training Grant Benefit Scheme with regards to OSH courses, members who are keen on these courses can be assured that their needs will continue to be met. Upon the completion of the phasing out process, MOM will be releasing an advisory and the complete list of ATPs. SOS aims to work closely with these ATPs in providing more options for members who are interested in OSH courses.
