Occupational Safety & Health

Operating safely, sustainably and responsibly remains integral to

us and contributes towards the long-term success of our business.

Our aim is to continually build and instil both a company and

industry culture that protects people from harm and improves

their health and wellbeing.

Towards this end, we comply with all the relevant national laws,

regulations and other requirements relating to best practices

in occupational safety and health; and continuously carry out

activities aimed at preventing workplace injuries. Preventive and

scheduled maintenance is regularly performed on all the Group’s

facilities, plants, storage tanks and terminals, whereupon repairs

and replacements are made when necessary or appropriate. In

addition, contractors and third party service providers working

for and employed by the Group are responsible for knowing and

complying with all applicable laws, regulations, approvals or

permits relating to the work they are doing for the Group. Those

found to be in breach of these requirements would be subjected

to suspension and/or termination of their services.

Employees who use any machinery are trained to do so correctly,

while training programs in the use of personal protective

equipment for workers handling or exposed to hazardous

materials are conducted regularly and will continue to be a vital

part of the Group’s operations.

All division’s have health and safety committees which consist of

divisional management and employees. It is to these committees

that incidences are reported, and where compliance with policies

is monitored, and improvements are discussed.

In our Manufacturing Division, for instance, all chemical related

product supplied are issued a Safety Data Sheet (“SDS”). This

sheet clearly indicateds the type of chemical that employees

are being exposed to and how best to handle them. The SDS will

indicate the potency of the chemical and the level of danger it

may pose to the employee i.e. mild, moderate, highly dangerous.

The safety measures taken by the employee will commensurate

with the danger level.

Manufacturing Division

has achieved 2,015 days (which is

equivalent to 5.5 years) without any lost time incident as at 31

March 2020. During the year in our Plantation Division, PTNJL’s

palm oil mill has retained its accreditation of

System Manajemen

Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja

(or “SMK3”), a local Indonesian

Government safety certification that is comparable with the

globally recognised OHSAS 18001:2007.

FYE2019

Tragically we suffered one fatality in FYE2020. In November

2019 an employee at our PTNJL oil mill was fatally injured while

trying to remove some dirt near the mechanical nut stirrer. As a

company standard, we offered support to the bereaved family

and conducted investigations. This incident had served to remind

us that we must continue to strive to make our workplaces safer

and our employees cognisant of the risks in their respective job

functions.

Lost Time Injury

Beginning FYE2020, we have applied the methodology of the

Malaysian Department of Occupational Safety and Health in

computing our Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (“LTIFR”). The

methodology takes into account only those who are absent from

work for more than 5 working days.
