Stiffer Rules To Improve Worksites, Buildings To Go Green

Source : The Straits Times, Sep 21, 2007

The Government is raising the bar on construction quality and safety standards following the Nicoll Highway tragedy in 2004.

The new laws introduced to the Building Control Bill will provide for stiffer penalties and tougher inspections.

Changes to the bill will also require building developers to go green - new buildings and existing ones undergoing major retrofitting will be mandated by law to meet minimum environmental sustainability standards.
