SINGAPORE - Companies in the process construction and maintenance industry that provide services to energy and chemicals plants will soon be able to attain recognition if they meet certain productivity benchmarks.
"While we may have to face carbon constraints, we may have to face land constraints, let us not make people, the only resource we have, become a constraint as well," Dr Koh told around 100 people at an industry seminar on productivity at the Trade Association Hub in Jurong East. Mr Koh Yak Boo, chairman of the Productivity Council for the process construction and maintenance industry and energy and chemicals industry, expanded on how the new framework could benefit this sector.
Mr Koh, the Productivity Council chairman, said the six biggest process construction and maintenance companies, which employ more than half of the industry's workers, will be certified by next year.
