Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd Sustainability Report 2019

CREATING A SAFETY CULTURE F&NHB has in place, Safety, Health, and Environment (SHE) systems and monitoring processes across our operations. Beyond compliance with national regulations, our safety practices adhere to International standards including ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 for our major sites. All employees, workers and activities are covered by our SHE systems, and receive adequate training and safety equipment wherever appropriate. Each plant has its own Safety Committee comprising management and workers. And this year, we have also set up a Safety & Health Committees for our corporate office and regional sales offices. These committees oversee our safety systems and programmes to ensure their effectiveness and meet every month to discuss accidents or near-misses and determine appropriate actions to reduce risks. They also conduct audits on our SHE systems, develop annual safety plans and programmes to increase awareness of health and safety issues among employees. Employees are encouraged to report any potential risks or hazards. They do this by informing their safety representative or supervisor, or a more formal report to our safety committees with the option to remain anonymous. On ground, we have Company Emergency Response Teams (CERT) who are trained to mobilise quickly and ensure the safety of our employees, should any incidents occur. HEALTHY WORKFORCE We focus on ensuring an environment that is conducive to employee well- being and promoting healthy habits to keep our people healthy and happy. Our Health Risk Assessment Committee is trained to review areas where employees may be exposed to health risks. Our work environment is enhanced with ergonomic facilities to prevent office-related injuries and includes shower facilities to help employees integrate physical activity into their daily work life. Employees access company-organised events such as badminton tournaments and Zumba classes and free medical check-ups. A gym was also set up in our headquarter office this year to encourage office employees to stay healthy. Air quality, brightness, temperature and noise levels are monitored in all our facilities. We conduct regular monitoring on noise levels at our facilities. For all workers working at area with high noise level, we provide hearing protector to reduce the noise exposure level. We also conduct audiometric tests regularly for all at-risk workers, with follow up-doctor consultations where hearing impairments were identified. In 2019, our employees attended a total of 2,436 hours of occupational health and safety training. Training topics included: - Fire Prevention and Safety - Chemical and Gas Handling Management - First Aid Training and CPR - Forklift Driver Certification - Scheduled Waste - Confined Space - Electrical Safety - Working at Height - Radiation Safety and Health In both Malaysia and Thailand, we organised regular activities to engage our employees on safety topics which include safety, health and environment awareness week, an internal ISO 45001 audit and training, monthly newsletter and sharing sessions from local regulatory bodies. All workers (employees and contractors) have access to occupational health services in relation to their relevant activities. This includes hygiene, ergonomics, protective equipment and first aid kits. F&NHB is advised by accredited consultants on SHE matters. Where any work-related health matters occur, F&NHB pays relevant treatment costs and allow for any required time away from work. We offer healthcare insurance to employees based on staff category and/or job levels. Malaysia and Thailand offer health care for all and we help to facilitate good health coverage for all workers by organising an annual health screening and encouraging all employees to participate. Any work-related illness will receive follow-up consultations with doctors, if identified. OUR APPROACH In F&NHB, we believe working as a team is the only way to achieve our aim of zero lost days due to accidents. We cultivate a proactive ‘safety first’ culture for employees, so they are aware of their responsibilities for both themselves and their colleagues. This includes advocating a healthy lifestyle through awareness of nutrition, physical activity and stress reduction measures. To further strengthen our commitment to safety culture, a) Lost Time injury Frequency Rate; and b) number of Safety & Health initiatives were incorporated in FY2019 as part of shared key performance indicators (KPIs) for all executives.
