  • We always honour our Nation. We will do everything to uphold it and nothing to disgrace it.
  • At all times, we must bear in mind that we are the protector of our citizens.
  • We are loyal to the Armed Forces and we take pride in our unit, our uniform, our discipline, our work, our training and ourselves.
  • We must be exemplary in our conduct. We respect others, and by our conduct win the respect of others. We are courageous but not reckless.
  • We are devoted to duty but not to ourselves.
  • We guard our weapons as we guard secrets.

The Army Occupational Health & Safety Policy
Divider line
Operations in the Army are inherently demanding, challenging and complex involving a relatively high level of risk. Commanders are thus responsible to professionally conduct tough, realistic and safe training in order to fulfill the Army’s mission.

Our Army is committed to demonstrate genuine care and concern for all individuals by ensuring that Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is accorded with priority without compromising our operational readiness.

Hence, our Army is committed to complying with applicable legislations, regulations, GOMs, other legal requirements, and will:

  • Address all significant hazards (risk assessment of High and above) identified in our workplace and activities.
  • Remove if not reduce safety and health risks identified.
  • Make continual improvement to our OHS management and performance.
  • Achieve mission success with no loss of lives or injuries through negligence.

The strength of Our Army’s OHS system is as strong as the weakest link. Therefore, every individual must value its importance and be responsible to make our operations, training and workplace a safe and healthy one.
