All construction sites with a project value of $5 million and above are required to install video surveillance system (VSS).​

From June 2024, all construction sites with a project value of $5 million and above are required to install video surveillance system (VSS) at worksite locations where there are high-risk work activities.​

What is VSS

The VSS is a network of cameras, monitors or display units, and recorders used for:

  • Surveillance
  • Identification of workplace safety and health (WSH) risks
  • Facilitation of incident investigation and corrective actions
  • Deterring unsafe workplace behaviours

New WSH guidelines will be released with further details such as scope of high-risk work activities and locations that will require VSS, specifications for VSS and guidance on using VSS to improve WSH.
