CDL has recently received the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Developer Award for the 13th time at the WSH Awards 2025. The event saw nearly 2,000 guests from the business and WSH communities witness 310 recipients recognised for their commitment to safety.

In his welcome remarks, WSH Council Chairman Mr Abu Bakar Mohd Nor commended the exemplary efforts of CDL leadership in taking ownership for instilling strong workplace vigilance and safety culture among its employees and migrant workers.

Mr Dinesh Vasu Dash, Minister of State for Manpower, and Culture, Community and Youth, also lauded CDL and praised all recipients for their collective action. In the first half of 2025, Singapore recorded 17 workplace fatalities with an annualised fatal injury rate of 0.92 per 100,00 workers, an “encouraging sign” according to Mr Dinesh.

CDL was the only developer and among the first of 18 industry players to partner the WSH Advocate Programme in 2025. The programme aims to champion safety excellence and nurture robust WSH practices.

CDL’s ecosystem is guided by three strategic pillars:

Visible Leadership - Our leaders actively champion safety, by walking the ground and engaging directly with workers and contractors through initiatives such as Gemba Walks to build trust and accountability.

Empowerment through Knowledge - We invest in our workforce and partners, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to protect lives and promote well-being through seminars, trainings, and open dialogues.

Collaboration for Impact – We partner our consultants, contractors, and stakeholders to cultivate a safety-first culture that goes beyond compliance to create meaningful change.
