We are committed to providing a safe working environment for all our employees, as well as promoting a healthy lifestyle.

We have medical teams in every operational area to support the health of our employees and their families. Our medical teams conduct routine check-ups and deliver various health programmes that aim to increase awareness about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. These include healthy living tips, health education, and counselling related to chronic diseases.

We have implemented an Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Management System across our estates. The OHS Management System complies with local regulations, including hazard identification and prevention, risk assessment and management, programme evaluation and continuous management system improvement.

PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES 

Our Health & Safety Committees, which comprise management and staff representatives, are responsible for identifying and evaluating potential hazards, recommending corrective actions, following up on implemented recommendations, providing employees with education and training, and developing a grievance mechanism.

Health and safety topics are discussed with employees during daily morning meetings. In addition, we have OHS manuals and procedures, working instructions, emergency response drills and other activities to ensure all employees are aware of the health and safety risks related to their jobs.

OHS considerations are also incorporated into the Collective Labour Agreement with the workers’ union. These include provisions for equipping estate workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) and the establishment of Health & Safety Committees.

In addition, we maintain an Emergency Response Team on standby to attend to any immediate health and safety-related crisis. We aim to reduce accidents, injuries and fatalities in our operations. All work-related accidents are recorded and evaluated. Recommendations are then implemented to prevent the reoccurrence of similar incidents.
