We conduct regular investigations and inspections to identify potential workplace hazards. In particular, we perform an annual audit on environmental, health, and safety KPIs and we have specific guidelines stipulated for employees to report any potential safety hazards, incidents, and near misses.

  Why it Matters

  Our commitment to health and safety in the workplace is embedded in our culture. We aim to ensure risks are minimized and that we respond quickly to hazards arising in the workplace. Occasionally, workers involved in our business are exposed to hazards that can result in falls, transportation accidents, equipment-related accidents,heat-related illnesses or other injuries. Implementing systems to ensure the safety of our colleagues, other workers and communities is critical to our business.
