In 2022, we aligned the Group with global WSH practices by replacing the traditionally used safety performance indicators of Accident Severity Rate and Accident Frequency Rate with RFR and RSR. We also standardised the definitions of our leading indicators (hazard reporting and near-miss reporting) and lagging indicators (penalties by authorities, dangerous occurrences, property damage incident) across all our global entities. We Focus on a Collective Total Workplace Safety and Health We adopt a holistic approach to better manage staff safety and health. We conduct regular checks of our operational areas to test for hazardous materials, noise, and general air quality. Additionally, we send our employees for annual occupational health check-ups on areas such as audiometry. These measures help us to identify health and safety risks early on and implement appropriate mitigation measures. We also take care of our employees’ well-being by providing general health screening, mental health support and return to work (from injuries) programmes. Read about how we take care of our employees’ well-being This holistic approach protects our employees from both short and long-term injury, stress, and illness. It also reduces absenteeism and turnover, increases productivity and quality, and raises employee well-being. Our collective approach means that our care extends beyond our employees and workers, to the people around them. Health and Safety is Embedded in Our Culture We adopt a “Zero Accident” mentality and believe that safety starts with individuals. We make conscientious efforts to embed a culture of WSH vigilance among our employees through a combination of: Management Safety Walkabout The Group P&CEO and President of Defence and Public Security conducted a safety walkabout. • Health and safety competency trainings • Awareness campaigns • Regular equipment and tool inspection and maintenance • Safe work procedures and regulations • Daily safety toolbox meetings • Incident reporting, investigation, analysis and sharing of lessons learnt New employees and workers undergo a WSH induction programme as part of the onboarding process. We also provide specialist safety training on specific work-related hazards such as lifting, welding and confined space. We embed WSH into the Group’s risk appetite statements and cardinal rules.
