MOM Incident Report for work-related injuries
Under the Workplace Safety & Health Act and the Work Injury Compensation Act, work accidents, dangerous occurrences and occupational diseases must be reported to the Ministry of Manpower. Failure to do so as required by the law is an offence.
Applicable for employee injured in accident and:
- Died, or
- Hospitalised for at least 24 hours; or
- Given MC for more than 3 calendar days (consecutive or otherwise)

Wifey heard that neighbour got injured at work with Everise Forwarders a month ago. By right, employers should make incident report with MOM for MC beyond 3 days but the towkays have a way out.
Neighbour showed his towkay his MC and evil boss dismissed him right away with a severance compensation till his MC-date, so that he effectively ceased to be his worker a day after injury = don't need to report MOM loophole + severance package included (so smart right?).
This is life.
