FGV Annual Report 2020

Hazard Risk Identification The most common work hazards at FGV are noise and vibration from machinery as well as human factors related to ergonomics. FGV has been implementing the Noise Hearing Conservation Programme to reduce the impact of excessive noise on employees and workers health. Besides providing information, training and audiometric testing, the programme ensures a Hearing Protection Zone, personal hearing protectors (PHP) and preventive/ scheduled maintenance are implemented. When a noise hazard is encountered, a strict process is to be observed which involves Hazard Identification Risk Assessment and Risk Control (HIRARC), Noise Risk Assessment (NRA) report, medical surveillance report, workplace inspection/ audit report and third parties reports such as from RSPO/MSPO. We also ensure these processes are undertaken by qualified personnel. The HIRARC report is presented for deliberation at the SHC meeting. In addition to hirarc, FGV had also adopted the NeMSO reporting initiatives as another tool to identify hazards and risk in our operations. The NeMSO reporting initiative encourages workers to report near miss incident, unsafe act, unsafe condition and safety good practices. FGV also introduced a dynamic risk assessment practice named “STOP for 5 Minutes” for all workers while at work to eliminate risk of injury or ill health. 137 Who We Are How We Operate How We Are Governed Additional Information Sustainability Matters Statement & Discussion By Our Leaders
