Stop Work Orders

The construction industry plays an important role in our fight against dengue. NEA urges the construction industry to play its part to curb dengue transmission and protect their workers and residents around their work sites against dengue. Construction sites are of particular concern as they can easily become the foci of dengue transmission.

NEA takes stringent action against errant contractors at construction sites found to be poorly maintained, favourable for mosquito breeding and / or breeding mosquitoes.

Enforcement actions including Stop Work Orders (SWO) and prosecutions in Court would be taken against such sites. During the Stop Work Order, only corrective actions are permitted. The contractor is also required to review the effectiveness of sanitation and vector control programmes within the site. The order will only be lifted when the measures have been completed to the satisfaction of NEA.
