FGV Annual Report 2020

HEALTH, SAFETY and environment MANAGEMENT To meet regulatory health and safety standards, FGV has a comprehensive HSE management system. In 2020, our HSE system ensured that 22 of our work premises are in compliance with the OHSAS 18001:2007 and 12 met with the ISO 14001:2015 standards. In 2019, FGV’s subsidiary, FGV Kernel Products Sdn. Bhd. successfully obtained the ISO 45001:2018 certification, the first company in FGV to be certified. Moving forward, FGV targets to migrate all 22 premises from OHSAS 18001:2007 to ISO 45001:2018 by the end of September 2021. #GOHOMESAFE PROGRAMME To expedite the OSH Vision Zero target, FGV launched a Master Safety Programme called #GOHOMESAFE in 2019. It is a comprehensive safety programme that promotes an injury-free workplace that includes training and campaign. #GOHOMESAFE has three (3) key messages: The programme kicked off with two (2) safety campaigns, namely, Near Miss and Safety Observation (NeMSO) Reporting and PATUH PPE at several locations in FGV premises. To make the programme appealing and effective, FGV created the character of “Abang Selamat” as the safety ambassador. We appointed 65 managers from the Plantation Business to act as the “Abang Selamat” at their respective locations. In 2019, we launched #GOHOMESAFE at four (4) Model Plantation Concept (MPC) sites that resulted in a 20% engagement with workers. In 2020, we expanded it to all business sectors and achieved a 50% engagement. Altogether we have conducted 16 training sessions under the #GOHOMESAFE programme for 355 workers and staff. The training covered topics such as Noise Hearing Conservation Programme, Line of Fire, Kiken Yochi Training and Behavior Based Safety for Safety Ambassadors. In addition, we conducted training for 14 new HSE initiatives that were introduced at eight (8) MPC sites in 2020, compared with four (4) in 2019.
