SUSTAINABILITY REPORT Cont’d Ergonomic Risk Assessment PMBtu conducted an Ergonomic Risk Assessment to pinpoint potential ergonomic hazards and risk factors that may cause discomfort or musculoskeletal injuries. Following this assessment, appropriate control measures were implemented to enhance the overall ergonomics of the workplace. Safety Intelligence Centre We understand there is a need for sharing of knowledge across the Group to reduce OHS risks and facilitate safety culture enhancement. We have established the Safety Intelligence Centre to gather, analyse, and utilise information on incidents that occurred in our operations. This initiative provides us with a platform to identify potential risks, consolidate mitigation plans and communicate lessons learnt from incidents to all employees via safety alerts. The entities adopted and implemented the mitigation plan shared in the safety alerts to prevent similar incidents. In FY2022, 42 safety alerts were issued, and the preventive actions are summarised in the Health and Safety Initiatives. A cross-plant visit between PMBtu and PMAR was organised to promote information sharing on health and safety procedures among the representatives from both entities. Health and Safety Training We prioritise the health and safety of our employees and contractors by offering a comprehensive range of training programmes which provide our employees with the latest safety knowledge. Consequently, this leads to better decision-making, expanded skill sets, and improved problem-solving abilities. We review our training programmes and initiatives on a regular basis in order for them to remain relevant and up to date. In FY2022, we have provided a wide range of OHS training topics to our employees and contractors, such as: Programme Objective EHS Induction Introduction of OHS rules and regulations and the proper usage of PPE Teamwork & Buddy System Provide understanding on the importance of teamwork and buddy system in maintaining a safe and secure work environment Equipment and Tools Knowledge Provide technical knowledge and safe use of tools required for production activities Health Awareness Raise awareness on health issues faced by employees and how to manage them, i.e. Breast Cancer Awareness, Oral Health Programme Basic Occupational First Aid - Level 1 & 2, Theory Educate employees on the roles and responsibilities of first aiders, basic life support, and immediate assistance procedures used in an emergency or nonemergency As part of our health and safety training, we have introduced the Video Standard Operating Procedure (“VSOP”) 2.0, that features visual interpretation of safety hazards and control measures. The videos are available in three (3) languages: English, Mandarin, and Burmese, providing accessibility to a wider range of employees. On a regular basis, employees will receive refresher trainings relating to safety awareness, particularly on manual handling, line of fire, and pinch points. In addition, heads of departments are encouraged to lead safety discussions during shift briefings and toolbox talks to raise awareness. These initiatives are ongoing efforts of our Group towards a safe and healthy working environment which helps to reduce our LTIFR. In addition, at Sarawak Operations, we require our employees to complete the EHS Quick Test to assess their understanding of OHS policies and procedures implemented in the workplace. It is mandatory for employees to meet the required passing grade. ANNUAL REPORT 2022 154
