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
