What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Ministry of Manpower released new guidelines on October 20, 2026, requiring employers to adjust outdoor work based on hourly PM2.5 readings. This guidance complements existing rules that use the 24-hour Pollutant Standard Index (PSI) forecast for planning. The ministry stated that the 1-hour PM2.5 readings should be used to adjust work during the day, while the 24-hour PSI is used for daily health advisories.
