HEALTH, SAFETY
AND ENVIRONMENT
At Wah Seong Corporation Berhad (“WSC” or “the Company”), excellent Health, Safety and
Environment (HSE) performance is central to the responsible delivery of our products and
services. We develop and operate our facilities with the aim of preventing any incidents that
may harm our employees, contractors or nearby communities, or cause damage to our assets
or adversely impact the environment. We manage HSE risks across our businesses through
clear standards, controls and compliance systems combined with a safety-focused culture.
Our Group standards and operating
procedures define the controls
and physical barriers we require
to prevent incidents. We regularly
inspect, test and maintain these
barriers to ensure they meet our
standards. We also routinely
prepare and practise our emergency
response to potential incidents such
as a chemical spill or a fire. This
involves working closely with local
services and regulatory agencies to
jointly test our plans and procedures.
These tests continually improve our
readiness to respond. If an incident
does occur, we have procedures
in place to reduce the impact on
people and the environment.
We continue to strengthen the
safety culture among our employees
and contractors. The Company is
committed to constantly improving
workplace and environmental safety,
consistent with international best
practices. HSE is deeply embedded
within our business culture as we
prioritise continuous improvement
in HSE and safety by reducing
accidents, occupational injuries and
work-related illness rates.
Our safety goal is to achieve no
harm to people, property and the
environment across our operations.
We expect everyone working for
us to intervene and stop work
that may appear to be unsafe.
In addition to our ongoing safety
awareness programs we hold annual
safety days to give employees and
contractors time to reflect on how
to prevent incidents. We expect
everyone working for us to comply
with our 10 Non-Compromising
Rules. If employees break these
Rules, they face disciplinary action
up to and including termination of
employment. If contractors break
these Rules, they can be removed
from the worksite.
