Annual Report 2020

62

LTIFR corresponds to the number of lost time injuries occurring

in the workplace per 1 million hours worked. During the

previous reporting year, the Group recorded an overall LTIFR

of 4.4 incidents per million hours worked against LTFIR of 6.0

recorded in the previous year. The indicator helps us to track the

effectiveness of measures taken to improve safety and health

performance in all business divisions. In addition, it helps the

Group to identify the most useful preventive action.

The Group recorded 16 in total injuries against 21 in the previous

year. Some of the accidents arising from the plantation division

including injuries caused from the usage of work tools such as

machetes and sickles. Others have falling fronds, thorn cuts and

injuries due to the handling of FFB.

Covid-19 Response

The Group has taken extensive measures across our businesses

to safeguard employees and customers from the Covid-19

pandemic. We have implemented additional employee

safety measures based on guidance from the relevant health

authorities across our all our premises, including enhanced

hygiene protocols, social distancing, mask use and temperature

screenings.

We enhanced daily sanitation practices in all our premises

through installation of hand sanitisers across all our premises,

added signs and floor decals to promote physical distancing.

Workstations have also been evaluated for adherence to physical

distancing guidelines. As at the date of this Report, all of our

businesses are operating without significant disruption.

Emergency preparedness

Emergency preparedness is an essential aspect of our operations.

Thus, our facilities are equipped with first-aid kits, firefighting

systems and have in place adequate response plans, spill

prevention and other programs to respond to emergencies.

Safety briefings are routine pre-requisites that precedes the daily

activities for most of our businesses. This ensures employees are

focused on performing the tasks at hand as quickly and safely as

possible. These briefings primarily serve as a daily reminder of

the job/task sequence and the potential hazards which may be

present. Emphasis is always given on the need to wear proper

attire such as Personal, Protective Equipment and on the use

of appropriate equipment. Emergency response plans are an

important element in the Group’s occupational safety and health

programme as it provides guidance to employees on the steps to

be taken in the event of an emergency.

Employee Development and Engagement

We view career development as part of our commitment to

building a more efficient, highly motivated and talented team

to ensure that the Group can remain agile and responsive in

competitive environments. Every year, training allocation is

available for our employees to participate in internal or external

workshops and seminars. We also believe that a combination of

both formal and informal learning channels develops targeted

skills and knowledge for a specific role. For example, our

businesses regularly conduct informal on-the-job training and

refresher courses on the use of apparatus and machinery, and

fertilizer application to address the skill gaps created by changes

inter alia in knowledge, technology and/or work processes.

All new employees undergo an induction program to help them

familiarize themselves with all aspects of the Company and the
