SOCIAL We Design Safety into our Work Processes Technological advancements in recent years have placed us in a good position for significant breakthroughs in both business productivity and WSH performance. We employ the use of technologies such as our digital Workplace Incident Reporting System and our electronic Compliant Statutory Management System to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and traceability of our WSH systems. We also seek to innovate work processes to improve their safety. Designing Safety into our Systems Our inaugural Engineering Seminar 2022 brought together more than 200 internal and external thought leaders, engineering professionals and practitioners to share and promote safe system design and safe work processes. Participants learnt best practices to manage and mitigate risks. They also found out more about the triangle of dependencies for safety management: systems safety, operational safety, and operational and maintenance efficiency. A safety management system is important because without it, it is impossible to ensure responsibility and accountability. The second, and arguably most important factor, is people. This is why we need to have a good safety culture where employees constantly learn and take courses on safety. BENJAMIN LOW YI XING Senior Engineer Urban Solutions (Singapore) We are Recognised for our Workplace Safety and Health Efforts In 2022, two individuals and four teams from ST Engineering were recognised for their efforts by the WSH Council in Singapore and were awarded a total of nine awards and two commendations at the national WSH Awards 2022. ME Tech Instinct Improves Track Installation Track installation on vehicles traditionally relied on methods that were labour intensive and required precise coordination among technicians. As the tracks are heavy, installation tends to result in awkward working postures and exposure to potential hand and finger injuries. The ME Tech Instinct team designed ways to eliminate hazards, substituted workstreams to reduce handling risks and introduced engineering control for process improvements. This included re-packaging the track links, re-engineering track installation, and improving the track clamping jigs and fixtures. Workplace Safety and Health Officer Award Melvyn Ting’s commitment to safety and his comprehensive approach to WSH was recognised by a Singapore nationwide WSH Officer Award. He was featured in Singapore’s national news, where he shared about how he made the traditional 4M Method of risk assessment more holistic by adding three more ‘M’s: minutes, medium and mandatory. 60 ST ENGINEERING SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022 TOTAL WORKPLACE SAFETY & HEALTH
