The Government also accepts the TCWM’s recommendations to upskill workers through setting mandatory training requirements. The training requirements will provide waste management workers with the knowledge and skills to carry out their work safely and efficiently.
The proposed course, “Workplace Safety and Health Practices Implementation” Level 2 is a common singular module for the Waste Management sector under the accepted PWM training requirement.
The Government had accepted TCWM’s recommendation for all licensed waste companies to meet the minimum training requirements for all PWM roles, with at least 2 Workforce Skills Qualification (WSQ) modules for entry-level job roles, and additional WSQ modules for workers who are at higher-level job roles.
