For each approach mentioned, we assign competent and qualified personnel to perform the relevant tasks. This may include our Safety and Health Officer (“SHO”), Site Safety Supervisor (“SSS”), certified Environmental Professionals In Scheduled Waste Management (“CEPSWAM”), Ergonomic Trained Persons or Occupational Health Doctors (“OHD”), according to the type of reviews being conducted. The Group currently utilises a reporting platform (BenchmarkESG) to notify, report, monitor and review any incidences relating to unsafe acts or conditions, perform health and safety risk management, carry out audit reviews and other relevant activities. The results, analysis and recommendations from the reporting of such incidences are then presented through our HSSE structure on a bi-weekly basis as part of our HSSE reporting exercise. For on-the-job safety hazard avoidance and precautionary processes, we have implemented various procedures such as the Consequence Management, 12 Life Saving Rules and several “do’s and dont’s” guidelines for specific operational activities. Our control measures are monitored closely by site HSE personnel through trainings and supervision as well as the use of tools such as the PPE Matrix. In addition, regular compliance audit and inspections are also carried out by HSE personnel to ensure the effectiveness of our control measures. In overall, our risk assessment on health and safety is performed to provide coverage on our defined focus areas as well as our existing operations or projects.
