ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL COORDINATOR (ECC) COURSE

Singapore, 7 March 2022 – With effect from 1 April 2022, the environmental sanitation regime will be extended progressively to approximately 2,700 premises covering more eldercare, social service and school facilities, as well as food courts, canteens, and shopping malls with significant retail space.

These premises were identified due to the presence of vulnerable occupants, their high footfall, and public accessibility. The National Environment Agency (NEA) has worked closely with the sectoral leads, which includes partner agencies, to finalise the sector-specific environmental sanitation standards before implementation (refer to ANNEX A for implementation timeline for all specified premises).
