Sustainability Report Occupational Health and Safety Operating in the energy industry, Wasco’s prime objective is to establish a safe and healthy workplace for employees, contractors and other stakeholders while protecting the environment. Health, Safety and Environment (“HSE”) is paramount and prioritised throughout the Group. Wasco’s HSE policy applies to all contractors and other stakeholders present on its premises. The management is committed to continuous improvement and compliance with OHSA 1994, FMA 1967, EQA 1974 and other applicable acts, legislations, orders, rules, codes of practices and other requirements, to which Wasco subscribes. We are pleased to report no health & safety incidents that have led to fatalities recorded in 2023. We recorded three Lost Time Incidents (“LTIs”) in the same period. We are committed to continuous improvement to providing a safe working environment and maintaining people’s health and well-being. For FY2024, we continue to strive for ZERO injuries and fatalities at our operations. Our Total Recordable Incident Frequency (“TRIF”) in 2023 was 1.5, compared to the industry average of 0.9 as reported by the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (“IOGP”) in their “IOGP Safety Performance Indicators – 2022 data”. Wasco’s commitment to health and safety: Increased awareness of health and safety among employees Reduced number of work accidents and their severity Zero occupational illnesses Reduced stress Enhanced well-being 2023 Highlights • 71,106,642 Incident Free Man-hours Worked since the last LTI. • Continued implementation of i-Start programme to enable a safety culture transformation. • Digital safety observation initiative, the Care Card Advance Analytics project. Safety starts with the individual; all individuals must protect their health, safety and well-being. Stringent health and safety standards help prevent hazards and incidents for all employees. As much of our work involves highrisk construction, we strictly follow the Safe Work Method Statement (“SWMS”), which clearly states measures to control the risks associated with our nature of work. All employees are responsible for reporting incidents, near-misses, safety breaches and hazards. In 2023, Wasco trained 5,352 employees on health and safety standards, including general safety. Training included HSE induction, forklift operation, rigging and slinging training, working at height, electrical safety, hand safety, grinding safety and confined space entry. Wasco’s Board-approved Health and Safety Policy formalises the Group’s health and safety philosophy and approach. Safety initiatives, internal monitoring and internal safety audit include creating a robust set of safety protocols and delivering carefully developed safety orientation and ongoing training. This training is extended to all employees, contractors and subcontractors. Every employee must attend a safety briefing before starting their workday at a minimum. 78 Integrated Annual Report 2023
