About A-CERTS

The introduction of the Fire Safety (Petroleum & Flammable Materials) Regulations in 2005 and the subsequent establishment of Company Emergency Response Team (CERT) requirements marked a pivotal moment in workplace safety in Singapore. Since then, A-CERTS has been at the forefront of advancing emergency preparedness, training thousands of professionals across industries to effectively respond to fire and other critical workplace emergencies. The success of CERTs in managing incidents during the crucial first minutes has proven vital in controlling emergencies even before the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) arrives. This early intervention has reinforced the understanding within the business community of the importance of having a trained, capable, and responsive emergency team on-site.

As the pool of trained emergency responders has grown, the need for a unified platform to connect and share experiences became apparent. This vision led to the creation of the Association of Company Emergency Response Teams (Singapore) (A-CERTS), with the support of the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).

At A-CERTS, we believe that a well-prepared emergency response team is key to safeguarding lives, property, and business continuity. Through training, certification, and fostering a collaborative network, we ensure our members are always equipped to respond to any emergency, no matter the scale.
