SS 651 Safety and Health Management System for the Chemical Industry

Overview

Our SS 651 consultancy services support organisations in the chemical industry in establishing, implementing, and maintaining a Safety and Health Management System (SHMS) to manage chemical hazards and occupational risks in a structured and effective manner.

CCIS works closely with organisations to translate SS 651 requirements into practical safety and health management practices, helping teams control chemical risks, strengthen workplace safety governance, and integrate safety and health considerations into daily chemical operations in a sustainable and disciplined way.

What is SS 651?

SS 651 is a Singapore Standard that specifies requirements for a Safety and Health Management System for the Chemical Industry.

The standard is designed to address the unique safety and health risks associated with chemical manufacturing, storage, handling, and processing activities. SS 651 focuses on hazard identification, risk assessment and control, emergency preparedness, operational control, incident management, and continual improvement, supporting organisations in implementing a systematic and proactive approach to managing chemical safety and health risks.

SS 651 is applicable to organisations involved in chemical‑related activities where hazardous substances and processes present significant occupational safety and health risks.

Benefits of SS 651

Implementing SS 651 helps organisations strengthen control over chemical safety and health risks and improve workplace safety performance.

Organisations benefit from clearer identification and management of chemical hazards, improved consistency in safety controls, and stronger preparedness for emergency situations. SS 651 also supports better compliance with workplace safety and health requirements, reduces the likelihood of chemical‑related incidents, and enhances confidence among employees, regulators, and stakeholders by demonstrating a structured and responsible approach to chemical safety management.

Our Consultancy Approach

At CCIS, we provide practical and structured consultancy services tailored to your organisation’s size, industry, and operational context.

Our consultancy covers the full lifecycle of implementation, including an initial gap analysis to understand current practices, support for management system design and documentation, guidance on implementation and record‑keeping processes, practical training and awareness for relevant personnel, internal audit support, and assistance in preparing for certification or assessment.

We continue to support organisations beyond certification to help ensure management systems remain effective, compliant, and audit‑ready as business needs and requirements evolve. Our focus is on effective implementation and long‑term sustainability, not documentation created solely for audit purposes.

Our approach emphasises real‑world implementation, strong project control, and ongoing support-helping organisations achieve certification with systems they can confidently maintain over time.

• Strong project management to ensure on‑time certification

Ongoing After‑Sales Support & Maintenance

Certification is not the end of the journey. As business needs, regulatory expectations, and organisational scope evolve, ongoing support is essential to ensure management systems remain effective and relevant.

Our after‑sales support helps organisations maintain compliance, effectiveness, and audit readiness over time. This includes support for surveillance and re‑certification audits, assistance in addressing audit findings and corrective actions, updates to management systems when business processes or scope change, and ongoing advisory support to drive continual improvement.

We work with organisations as a long‑term partner, supporting the sustainability of management systems beyond initial certification rather than providing one‑off consultancy.
