Our Commitments

Safety and Environmental Policy
Our uncompromising commitment to maintaining high safety standards and minimising environmental risks is exemplified by our achievement of the OHSAS 18001 certification for our Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Management System, and BOWEC ISO 14001certification. We employ:

• a concentric management approach to OHS, where every participant in the project bears responsibility for its effective implementation.
• safety training to equip our employees at all levels with the knowledge, skills and attitude to achieve high safety standards.
• regular preventive maintenance of equipment and machinery to minimise environmental pollution and wastage of natural resources and materials

Quality Assurance

Complying with ISO 9001:2000 standards, the quality system we adopt across every aspect of our business activities was the first quality system to be certified in Singapore for building and civil engineering contracting. Its effectiveness is evaluated by an independent team of qualified professionals within Woh Hup, and has given rise to a strong quality culture within our workforce. Our construction teams are trained to meet the stringent quality control guidelines of Quality Mark and CONQUAS 21, with numerous completed projects consistently featured in the top 10 CONQUAS (Private Residential) category.

Partnership approach
We value the input of all project participants – architects, consultants, owners, representatives – and foster a spirit of partnership between all parties to ensure project execution achieves the desired quality with optimal efficiency.

Research and Development

Innovation is a driving force in our business. As such, we work closely with local and international universities and research organisations on projects that can translate into improvements in the construction process. Recent projects include an examination of the effects of moisture on marble tiles, and the development of productivity measurement and forecasting software.

Security

Maximising the security of our construction sites is always a priority. Protection against pilferage is provided through perimeter fencing, and round the clock supervision of personnel and vehicle movement, materials conveyance and storage by a dedicated security team.

Training

At Woh Hup, we believe that our people are our most valuable assets. That’s why we invest in relevant training, both in-house and external, to reinforce the skills and competency of our workforce. In May 2006, we successfully obtained People Developer certification – a mark of distinction reflecting our dedication to developing our staff to their full potential to meet the challenges of an ever-changing business environment.
