OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH
DRIVING CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT IN HEALTH AND SAFETY OUTCOMES Why It Matters
Occupational health and safety plays a central role in ensuring the sustainability of our business. Aside from the obvious importance of providing protection and maintaining safe working environments, making safety a priority means that our employees can focus on being as productive as possible, free of undue concerns about their wellbeing. Taking a proactive approach towards occupational health and safety also allows us to position ourselves as a desirable and progressive place to work, while easing the process of establishing operations in new jurisdictions. As such, we are committed to going beyond the requirements of regulations alone and strive to stand as an example of best practices in health and safety within our industry as a whole.
How We Approach It
A comprehensive and all-encompassing Safety and Health Policy governs the occupational health and safety procedures adopted across the Group, outlining safety standards for daily operations in adherence to local regulations such as Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994, Factories and Machineries Act 1977, Fire Services Act 1988 and the UU No.
1 Tahun 1970. In implementing said standards, responsibility falls to the Health and Safety Committee and our safety officers, who work as an extension of the committee on the ground within each of our subsidiaries. In striving to create inclusive and transparent discussions around health and safety, the committee comprises a balanced representation of 50%
management and 50% workers, and includes representatives from all departments of the Group, including foreign workers.
The committee meets on a quarterly basis to discuss safety issues as well as to highlight any accidents and near-miss incidents for further assessment, in line with the local requirements.
Beyond this overarching structure, it is just as important that employees on the ground are equipped with the resources and knowledge to respond to health and safety threats. To this end, emergency response teams that include certified first aider and trained fire fighters have been established at all subsidiaries. Members within this response team are required to undergo refresher training courses every two years to ensure that their competencies remain in line with the requirements of the industry and operations of the entities. In addition, all safety officers undergo regular training to ensure they are kept abreast of the latest developments in health and safety practices and regulations.
As part of our effort in promoting the culture of health and safety across our entire workforce, all employees undertake yearly training programmes in health and safety, including situational training that avails them of strategies to mitigate against specific emergencies or accidents. In the case of new employees, detailed health and safety briefings are provided before access to our facilities is granted.
Leveraging on these Group-wide policies, standard operating procedures have been developed and are continually refined across our offices and production facilities. All employees working in high risk environments are provided with personal protective equipment, which includes safety helmets, safety shoes and ear plugs. A safety checklist is also maintained to provide a step by step guide for employees on the safety measures to consider and implement during a specific situation within our operation. Meanwhile, whiteboards are located within all production facilities to track the ongoing accident and incident rate at the facility in question, encouraging employees to take greater personal responsibility in ensuring safe working practices at all times.
Targeted procedures have also been implemented in the vital area of fire hazard response. Among others, fire drills are organised on an annual basis to ensure employees internalise evacuation practices, firefighting equipment (including fire extinguishers, water tanks, fire hydrants and sprinklers) are located at strategic areas within our production facilities and all premises have obtained Fire Certificates issued by their relevant local government which adequately represent that our firefighting measures are on par and adequately maintained.
SUSTAINABILITY REPORT (CONT’D)
Lastly, we understand the importance of continuous review and improvement in up-keeping our health and safety performance.
Accordingly, all matters on occupational health and safety is discussed in our monthly management meetings in line with our monthly safety reporting requirements. This is further complemented with the role of our internal and external safety audits which allow us to identify ways of improving our processes at all levels of the Group. Our grievance mechanism also covers health and safety in the workplace, providing all employees with an anonymous channel through which they can raise concerns in this area. Collectively, these measures mean that we are well-equipped to avoid organisational complacency in this critical area.
During FY2020, the COVID-19 outbreak which represented a major health threat has led the Group in establishing comprehensive standard operating procedures that are aimed at minimising any potential risk of exposure faced by employees working onsite. Said procedures include regular temperature checks, compulsory use of face masks, the provision of sanitisers and the implementation of cross-premise disinfection exercises whenever necessary. However, the COVID-19 pandemic was also an event that provided us with a wealth of insights that we can apply in future, thus, giving us additional impetus to improve our health and safety procedures in all aspects while maintaining close consultation with our key stakeholders.
Our Performance
We aim to maintain a Group-wide accident rate of not more than 20 cases per year, and to have 100% of our employees trained on the latest occupational health and safety practices. In line with these goals, our performance in occupational health and safety during FY2020 is detailed below.
* The abovementioned data is relevant to GCCM, ACI and GCBCM as there is no dedicated Health and Safety Committee in GCBCS due to its small scale of operations.
