Data Protection Trustmark (DPTM)

Data Protection Trust mark (DPTM) is a voluntary certification for organisations to demonstrate accountable data protection practices.

By aligning it with Singapore’s PDPA and incorporating elements of international benchmarks and best practices, the DPTM Certification Framework helps organisations build trust with their clients.

Organisations can further look into incorporating the DPTM requirements into standards such as ISO 27001 (Information Security), ISO 37001 (Anti-Bribery) and ISO 22301 (Business Continuity) to further boost their organisations resilience.

Good Distribution Practice (GDP)

Good Distribution Practice (GDP) is a vital component of Quality Assurance.

It requires the company to establish a quality system to ensure that products are consistently stored and handled as required by the marketing authorization or product specification, thereby maintaining the quality of the products during storage, transportation and distribution.

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a vital component of Quality Assurance.

which helps to ensure that medicinal products are consistently produced with the quality standards appropriate for their intended use. Under the Medicines Act, all manufacturers and assemblers of medicinal products (both “Western Medicines” and “Chinese Proprietary Medicines” (CPM) are required to conform to GMP.

Mandatory Green and Gracious Builder Scheme (GGBS) Requirement

The GGBS was launched for the promotion of environmental protection during construction projects. This guide is important for certified builders who are undergoing any construction work that could potentially harm the environment or bring damage to natural landmarks as it encourages them to work responsibly.

BCA Contractors registered under CW01 and CW02 with grades A1, A2, B1 and B2 and those intending to seek registration in these workheads/grades are required to obtain BCA’s Green and Gracious Builder Scheme (GGBS) certification by the following dates:

• A1 & A2: by 1 January 2015

• B1 & B2: by 1 January 2016

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP)

HACCP is a food safety programme based on the principle of fault avoidance.

It is a a scientific, rational and systematic approach to identify, assess and control hazards from raw material, production to final product use. It consists of 7 principles that outline how your organisation can establish, implement and maintain a HACCP plan.

Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP)

From comprehensive HAZOP studies to reviews or even presentations, CCIS provides a one-stop solution for you.

The primary objective of the Hazard And Operability Study (HAZOP) process is to identify potential process controls, HSE and operational problems associated with the design, construction, maintenance or operation of a project. Furthermore, identify simplifications in addition to alignment issues.

As HAZOP’s can be used at varies stages throughout a project different HAZOP types can be distinguished:

• Coarse HAZOP – Initial study to identify areas of improvement regarding Control and Automation (C&A) selection and alignment;

• Main HAZOP – Primary vehicle for identification of hazards, effects and operability problems. Held when the frontend engineering design is almost complete so that systems can be covered in detail;

• Final HAZOP – Coverage of those systems not sufficiently developed for consideration in the Main HAZOP, particularly vendor data, and a formal review of action responses to previous HAZOPs; and

• Procedural HAZOP – Identification of hazards and operability problems arising from procedures such as commissioning, maintenance and other non-continuous procedures including procedures related to the Management Of Change (MOC).

The study method is a combination of identification, analysis and brainstorming based on the hazards identified on the checklist. It is formal process in which, a multi-disciplined team assesses with the aid of “guide words” hazards and operability problems typically related to a facility but also with procedures. This ensures a systematic and well documented evaluation of potential hazards.

Risk Management

Covering all workplaces, the Workplace Safety & Health Act (WSHA) came into effect on 1 March 2006. Under the Risk Management Regulation, all workplaces are required to conduct comprehensive Risk Assessment (RA) on work processes and implement control measures to eliminate or reduce the safety and health risks posed to all persons at a workplace – from top management to workers.

Everyone has an obligation to ensure workplace safety. The WSH Act aims to reduce risks at source by making stakeholders accountable for managing the risks they create and by taking practical steps to ensure the safety and health of a worker.

Risk management is the process of identifying, evaluating and controlling risks at workplaces. It has been mandated under the Workplace Safety and Health framework to foster a proactive accident prevention culture.
