2020 UEM Edgenta Annual Report

CONTRACTOR SAFETY Various programmes in the Infrastructure Services division are run with our contractors to ensure they observe all our HSSE policies and procedures in order to keep their employees safe. Other than talks on safety and health conducted in partnership with DOSH, the following events were organised in 2020. Initiative Description Contractor Engagement & Development The event gathered over 50 Infrastructure Services contractors and employees nationwide to discuss ways to improve safety at their operations, as well as create a work culture driven by health and safety. Launch of Projek Perintis An initiative to propel subcontractors towards achieving a 5-Star Rating in the Contractor HSSE Performance Ranking and to create a cohesive ecosystem focused on HSSE excellence. SAFETY PERFORMANCE A key accomplishment was to achieve zero fatalities throughout 2020. We also saw a decrease in the Company’s injury rate from 2.8 in 2019 to 1.7 in 2020. However, our lost time injury increased from 27 to 51 cases, most of which involved slips, trips and falls involving our people at the Healthcare Support and Infrastructure Services businesses. In response, an Offline Problem Solving Team has been established, and our 2021 HSSE programme will focus on early intervention of any unsafe act/condition.
