Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd Sustainability Report 2021

F&N believes that working as a team is the only way to ensure safety of our people, and those who work with us. We foster a proactive ‘safety first’ culture for employees to be aware of their responsibilities to both themselves and their colleagues. To ensure our employees and contractors’ employees are able to carry out their functions safely, we conduct various safety training programmes to remind people in our premises. Creating a Safety Culture F&NHB strictly adheres to the International Labour Organisation (ILO) guidelines, Thailand’s Labour Protection Act and Malaysia Employment Act 1955. The guidelines and legal requirements of these policies have been extended in our internal Environmental Safety and Health policy as a signal to our employees about F&N’s commitment in creating a safety culture for all. At F&N, safety is integrated across our operations through the implementation of Environmental, Safety and Health (ESH) systems and monitoring processes. Our adhesion to international standards, such as ISO 45001 at our major site demonstrates that our safety practices extend beyond compliance with national regulations. All employees, workers and activities are covered by our ESH systems, and all workers receive adequate training and safety equipment wherever appropriate. Every plant has its own Safety Committee, which includes management and workers’ representatives. F&NHB has also set up a Safety and Health Committee for its corporate o+ce and its regional sales o+ces. These committees oversee F&N’s safety systems and programmes to ensure their e*ectiveness. They meet on a monthly basis to discuss about accidents or near-misses and determine appropriate corrective actions required. They also conduct audits of our ESH systems, develop annual safety plans, and initiate programmes to increase awareness of health and safety issues among employees. Employees are encouraged to report any potential risks or hazards. They can do this by informing their safety representative or supervisor, or report through a formal channel to our safety committees with the option to remain anonymous. On ground, we have Company Emergency Response Teams (CERT) who are trained to mobilise quickly should any incidents occur. GRI Index: GRI 403-1, GRI 403-2, GRI 403-3, GRI 403-4, GRI 403-5, GRI 403-6, GRI 403-7, GRI 403-9, GRI 403-10 The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the personal concerns of people to prioritise health, hygiene, and safety. We wanted to make sure that our employees, especially essential sta* – factory employees and sales team, were not just safe from work hazards but also from the COVID-19 virus. We enforced strict protocols to physically protect our employees on the ground, and enabled flexible work arrangement to boost the mental health of our other employees working-from-home. Other than protecting the well-being of our employees, F&N believes that working as a team is the only way to achieve our target of zero Lost Time Injury. We foster a proactive ‘safety first’ culture for employees to be aware of their responsibilities to both themselves and their colleagues.
