The Land Transport Authority (LTA), with support from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), requires all lorries which are used to ferry workers to be installed with rain covers. This is to enhance the safety and welfare of the workers when they are travelling in these lorries.
ASPRI wishes to remind members that all lorries that are fitted with canopies and ferry workers are required to install the rain covers by:

Rain Cover Installation
The rain covers must be properly secured and installed on the canopy for all non-enclosed sections of the lorry deck, so as to fully shield workers from bad weather. In addition, at least one side of the lorry’s rain cover needs to be transparent, to ensure that there is enough light for the workers onboard.
Please see below for example of a properly installed rain cover that covers all non-enclosed sections of the lorry deck, with at least one side being transparent.

The rain cover installation service is available at several vehicle workshops and the process take approximately 2 hours, depending on the lorry type. Kindly encourage your members to install the rain covers early as there may be high demand at the workshops closer to the due date.
With that, ASPRI wishes you and your workers will create a safe environment to work in.
