MANAGEMENT APPROACH Commitment We are committed to “Safety Before Profits.” A safe and healthy workplace protects workers from injury, stress and illness, reduces absenteeism and turnover, increases productivity and quality, and raises employee morale. This duty of care extends to our visitors and supervised subcontractor working within our premises. Our target is to have zero fatalities in our operations. We work towards lowering our major injuries year- on-year. Governance and Organisation WSH is a journey. We have put in place an integrated Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) policy and a Safety Pledge to align the Group towards achieving a common WSH mindset, as well as aligned goals and objectives. WSH efforts are coordinated by the Operational Excellence Specialist Team (TWSH), which meets every quarter to provide advice on WSH related matters, to discuss, coordinate and strategise on workplan implementation and share best WSH practices across business areas as part of continuous learning. SOCIAL → Total Workplace Safety & Health All material business units in Singapore are certified ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management. All our global operations abide by relevant workplace safety regulations and requirements. As part of our continuous striving for higher WSH standards, conscientious efforts are being made to embed a culture of WSH vigilance among all staff. We provide a safe work environment with a focus towards advocating a collective WSH culture of care – ourselves, and the people around us including family, friends and colleagues. We adopted a holistic Total WSH approach to better manage staff wellbeing which includes health screening and coaching, weight management, ergonomics management, mental health talks, audiometric and a return to work (from injuries) programme. We constantly remind all our employees to take good care of personal health and wellbeing. This enables them to continuously be in the right frame of mind to be safe and productive at work. We introduced the BizSAFE programme across the Group to enhance our WSH risk assessment, management capabilities and standards at the workplace. We encourage open and active WSH reporting and cultivate a culture of WSH ownership and responsibility to spot and rectify hazards in order to improve the effectiveness of our risk prevention and mitigation. Besides adopting WSH best practices and introducing new leading indicators, we also implemented WSH technology-enabled projects to enhance our processes and systems. These include the Workplace Incident Reporting System and the Compliant Statutory Management System. We organise an annual ST Engineering EHS convention to encourage innovative ideas and solutions knowledge sharing and reward contributors to WSH excellence as well as celebrate our WSH achievements for our staff. We continue to work towards a safe and healthy working environment for our employees and partners globally. 38 ST ENGINEERING SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2021 OVERVIEW OUR SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE AWARDS INDEX
