SINGAPORE — Participants, officials, spectators and volunteers at the 28th SEA Games hosted here in 2015 can be assured that the June 5 to 16 event will be a safe one for everyone involved.

The Singapore Southeast Asian Games Organising Commitee (Singsoc) and the Singapore Institution of Safety Officers (SISO) signed a memorandum of understanding at the Singapore Sports Council (SSC) today to mark their commitment to safety.

The agreement will see both parties working together on the development and implementation of risk management plans for the Games. These include games infrastructure like temporary structures and venue overlays, games programming and haze management.

Said SSC chief executive officer Lim Teck Yin: “We cannot take safety and well being for granted. For an event that involves large number of people from Singapore and abroad, the organisers have an obligation to ensure we provide a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.”

Over 7,000 athletes and officials are expected to participate in the SEA Games when it is hosted here in 2015.
