Class 1 Cleaning Business License

Whissh is excited to share that we have successfully obtained the Class 1 Cleaning Business License under the National Environment Agency (NEA).

As stated on NEA’s website itself, under the Environmental Public Health Act 1987, it is an offence for a service buyer to engage an unlicensed service provider to provide general cleaning services. Service buyers found engaging unlicensed cleaning businesses are liable to a maximum fine of $10,000 and $1,000 every day for continuing offences.

What does having a Class 1 Cleaning Business License mean?

Apart from ensuring that you are engaging a legal service provider, it also shows our company’s commitment to our employees. Our employees are trained by licensed training providers and are deployed only after they have attained a minimum level of certifications. As part of training up a pool of competent workforce, a comprehensive progressive wage plan based on the recommendations of the Tripartite Cluster for Cleaners (TCC) that conforms to the wage levels and bonuses specified by the Commissioner for Labour also has to be submitted to attain the Class 1 License.

We have also maintained a valid bizSAFE Level 3 certification throughout the license duration. Finally, attaining the Class 1 License certifies that our track records have been clean with no court convictions in the last 2 years under the following legislations: (1) Environmental Public Health Act 1987, (2) Employment Act 1968, (3) Employment of Foreign Manpower Act 1990, (4) Workplace Safety and Health Act 2006, (6) Central Provident Fund Act 1953, and also no outstanding orders made by the Employment Claims Tribunal under Section 22 of the Employment Claims Act 2016.
