SS 679 Workplace Safety & Health Management System for Construction Worksites

Overview

Our SS 679:2021 consultancy services support organisations involved in construction worksites in establishing, implementing, and maintaining a Workplace Safety and Health Management System (WSHMS) aligned with Singapore’s regulatory and industry requirements.

CCIS works closely with construction companies and project teams to translate SS 679:2021 requirements into practical site‑level safety management practices, helping organisations manage workplace risks, strengthen safety governance, and embed effective WSH controls into daily construction operations in a structured and sustainable manner.

What is SS 679?

SS 679 is Singapore’s Code of Practice for Workplace Safety and Health Management Systems (WSHMS) specifically developed for construction worksites.

The standard provides a structured framework for managing workplace safety and health risks associated with construction activities. It focuses on leadership commitment, hazard identification, risk assessment and control, operational planning, contractor management, incident management, and continual improvement. SS 679 supports organisations in implementing a systematic and proactive approach to managing WSH risks in complex and high‑risk construction environments.

Benefits of SS 679

Implementing SS 679 helps organisations strengthen control over workplace safety and health risks at construction worksites.

Organisations benefit from clearer safety responsibilities, improved risk management practices, and more consistent implementation of WSH controls across projects and subcontractors. SS 679 also supports improved compliance with Workplace Safety and Health requirements, reduces the likelihood of incidents and accidents, and enhances confidence among clients, regulators, and stakeholders by demonstrating a structured and responsible approach to construction site 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.

Why Choose CCIS?

CCIS is an established ISO consultancy firm with a long‑term focus on building practical and sustainable management systems. Our approach emphasises real‑world implementation, strong project control, and ongoing support-helping organisations achieve certification with systems they can confidently maintain over time.

• Established ISO consultancy firm since 1992, with over 30 years of experience
• Practical “write what you do, do what you write” implementation approach
• Strong project management to ensure on‑time certification
• Focus on building systems your team can understand, implement, and maintain
• Long‑term support beyond certification, not short‑term consultancy

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.
