Making Work Injury Compensation Designated Insurers Manual Public

Mr Louis Ng Kok Kwang asked the Minister for Manpower whether the "Work Injury Compensation Designated Insurers Manual" specified in the licensing conditions for insurers under the Work Injury Compensation Act can be made public and not just to insurers.

Dr Tan See Leng: The Insurer's Manual issued by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) contains detailed technical guidelines to assist in processing work injury compensation (WIC) claims, which are specific to designated WIC insurers and not relevant to members of the public. Information that employers and claimants require to understand their responsibilities and eligibility with respect to work injury compensation claims is already available on MOM's website.
