Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd Sustainability Report 2020
Healthy Workforce We focus on ensuring an environment that is conducive to employee well-being and promoting healthy habits to keep our people healthy and happy. Our Health Risk Assessment Committee comprises skilled personnel trained to comprehensively evaluate areas where employees may be exposed to health risks. Air quality, brightness, temperature and noise levels are monitored in all our facilities. We conduct regular noise monitoring at our facilities to ensure that the level is within the recommended range. For all workers in an environment with high noise levels, we provide hearing protection to reduce their exposure. We also conduct audiometric tests regularly for all at-risk workers, with follow-up doctor consultations where hearing impairments were identified. All workers (employees and contractors) have access to occupational health services in relation to their relevant activities. This includes hygiene services, ergonomic tools, protective equipment, and first aid kits. F&N is also supported by accredited OHS consultants whenever required. We offer healthcare insurance to all employees in Malaysia and Thailand. F&N also facilitates good health coverage for all workers by organising an annual health screening. Any work-related illnesses will receive follow-up consultations with doctors, if identified. Employee Safety Training and Awareness F&NHB has not compromised on employee safety trainings despite limitations due to COVID-19. A total of 1,455 employees participated in 6,602 hours of safety trainings. Topics covered in FY2020 included: • Safety, Health and Environmental Awareness • Fire Prevention and Safety • First Aid Training and CPR • Forklift Driver Operators and Safety Training • Overhead Crane Safety and Proficiency • Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Determining Control • Scheduled Waste • Hand Safety • Radiation Safety and Health • Noise and Hearing Conservation • COVID-19 Training In FY2020, we were not able to conduct our health safety campaign due to COVID-19 constraints. Instead, we conducted safety briefing in small groups during toolbox meetings. 5 safety briefings of total 315 hours were conducted this year, which were attended by 122 employees. In Malaysia and Thailand, we continued to engage our employees on safety topics through regular activities such as monthly OHS trainings and newsletters, as well as an unsafe working conditions programme to educate workers in identifying risky behaviours and safety hazards. ENHANCED HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES DURING COVID-19 F&NHB implemented extensive safety measures to ensure all premises maintain the highest levels of hygiene practice and a sanitary environment. • There is daily sanitisation and cleaning after each work shift, and special chemical sanitisation every 2 weeks. All facilities are inspected weekly by safety management officers. • We implemented daily contactless temperature screening, health related declarations for all staff and safe distancing measures at all workplaces. • Specific advisory and protective equipment are provided to our front-line workers at risk e.g. receptionists, sales and delivery personnel. • Upgraded key office facilities to contactless e.g. e-payment at the cafeteria and replacing biometrics with face scanning for signing in. • We provided personal protection equipment for all employees e.g. masks, hand sanitisers and mask keepers. F&N also adapted work practices to uphold the safety and well-being of our employees. • Access to company-organised sport events or F&N’s sport facilities and classes was unfortunately limited by the pandemic this year. Therefore, we have organised a wellness programme in Malaysia and Thailand and developed resources to guide employees’ mental and physical health through virtual talks and broadcasts. • F&N also implemented work-from-home or split team arrangements where applicable. We upgraded our IT resources and tools to support remote working. Going forward, we plan to formalise our flexible work policy where possible.
