We strive to safeguard our people through training and education to maintain a healthy and resilient workforce. As a plantation company, we take the health and safety of our workers seriously, particularly in the estates and mills. Besides complying with health and safety regulations and laws, we constantly raise awareness through programmes and workshops on safety precautions among our employees and workers to drive into them the pivotal role of safe practices at the workplace. Our initiatives include providing incentives to our key stakeholders such as plantation workers, third party suppliers and contractors across the Group to take part in customised training programmes. To ensure a safe and conducive working environment, we have proactively implemented a range of preventive measures. Workers are required to undergo training modules on general health and safety, hazards at the workplace and personal protective equipment (PPE), as well as other instructions specific to their functions. All communications and training are held in the native languages of our workers to ensure their comprehensive understanding of safe practices at work. To achieve our Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) aspirations, FGV has adopted the government’s OSH Master Plan 2020 launched on 1 May 2017. This master plan is expected to reduce the rates of occupational accidents and diseases, eventually helping to raise the quality of life for people in Malaysia. We have also embraced the World OSH Vision Zero mandate, which is a transformational approach to prevention that integrates the three dimensions of safety, health and well-being at all levels of work. FGV’s OSH ismanaged by our GroupHealth, Safety and Environment (HSE) Division, established in 2009. The division strives to reduce the number of incidents and workers’ exposure to occupational, safety and health hazards within the Group. Over the years, the Group HSE Division has bolstered and aligned FGV with the best of industry practices. OSH Governance Structure, Policy and Targets FGV’s commitment to health and safety across the Group is guided by a holistic and robust framework at all levels of the organisation, from top management to operational levels. This is to ensure a safe and healthy working environment, upwards and downwards, within the Group. Our Group HSE Steering Committee is chaired by our Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) and made up of representatives from our various business sectors and respective heads of business units. The Group HSE Division serves as the Committee Secretariat. The HSE Steering Committee meets at specific intervals to review the Group’s HSE performance and all HSE matters arising.
