2020 UEM Edgenta Annual Report

EDGENTA HEALTH & SAFETY AWARD 2020 To promote a culture of safety, we organise an annual awards ceremony recognising the efforts of employees who have demonstrated commitment to enhancing health and safety across the organisation through continuous improvement projects and initiatives. In 2020, three teams were recognised for innovative safety projects, as described below: 1. Contactless Toolbox Talk (CBCT) Using videos instead of physical meetings, CTBT reduces the need for large gatherings at toolbox talk sessions, promoting physical distancing. 38 videos posted on HSSE’s YouTube channel garnered 39,000 views. 2. Safety Enhancement for Signboard Stand for Expressway Introducing three signboard stands in signage installation – HANGER (at bridge parapets), NJB (at the median concrete barrier) and PASAK BUMI (at the verge without guardrail) – employees exposure at the mainlines is reduced, significantly enhancing safety. 3. UEM Edgenta Vendor ID Pass Vendors need to pass our HSSE screening process in order to be issued the pass. Hence, by making it compulsory, compliance with HSSE rules and regulations set for contractors will increase. SAFETY INITIATIVES IN 2020 Initiative Description Safety Day 2020, themed ‘Comply with Quality’ The virtual event involved employees from over 60 locations including Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and the United Arab Emirates. Property & Facility Solutions Safety Talks Series The talks were held in several locations throughout the Klang Valley.

Innovation Garage (“IG”) Initiatives In 2020, the HSSE team in IG rolled out our first new electronic e-PTW system as part of the HSSE digital ecosystem. The team also rolled out a number of projects to improve visibility for static night work and to enhance remote surveillance of traffic management works. It also introduced new vehicle lightbars to improve visibility whilst patrolling highways; temporary rumble strips to reduce vehicle speed at static work sites; and audible buzzers & LED flashers to prevent rear-end incidents.
