Occupational Doctor &
Designated Workplace Doctor

Supporting employee health and workplace safety in Singapore

What Is an Occupational Doctor?

An occupational doctor specialises in preventing, diagnosing, and managing health issues related to the workplace, helping to support employee health and ensure safety at work.

By identifying potential risks, implementing preventive strategies, and advising employers on compliance with the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Act, occupational doctors help maintain a healthy and productive workforce to support your business goals.

What is a DWD?

In Singapore, occupational doctors serve as Designated Workplace Doctors (DWDs), certified by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to help employers comply with WSH regulations.

They focus on both prevention and treatment of work-related health issues to ensure the safety and well-being of workers.
