STATEMENT SUSTAINABILITY ANNUAL REPORT 2024 67 OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? In our technology-driven industry, the well-being of our employees, vendors, suppliers, and customers is inseparable from our success. A safe and healthy work environment cultivates a culture of trust and enables our teams to focus on delivering high-quality solutions. This minimises the risk of accidents and injuries at our premises. This determination extends beyond our own employees, influencing our partners and suppliers to adopt similar standards. OUR APPROACH Our goal at Datasonic is to have an injury-free workplace with zero accidents. Datasonic’s operations continue to be guided by our Safety Policy, which is enforced by our Occupational Safety and Health (“OSH”) Committee. The committee includes employee representatives which provides a vital voice for employee concerns and promotes the effectiveness of our safety measures. The policy applies to employees, contractors, and visitors of our sites. It is reviewed annually to guarantee ongoing compliance and effectiveness across all our facilities. Our PJ 223 and Klang sites maintains their ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems certification, reflecting our adherence to international best practices. We also undertake risk assessments for both new and existing operations to proactively address potential hazards. At the same time, we conduct regular safety audits and inspections across our facilities to ensure ongoing compliance and determine potential risks. Our Board views safety as a material topic at Datasonic. The Group’s safety performance data, incident reports, and corrective actions are included as an agenda for Board meetings. In the case of emergency situations, our trained and equipped Emergency Response Team (“ERT”) is prepared to respond promptly and effectively.
