Gamuda Berhad (29579-T)
Annual Report 2013
Some of the factors contributing to the effectiveness and
continual improvement of the Group’s OSH Management
System include:
• taking a proactive risk management approach at all
project sites;
• empowering each employee to undertake safety &
health responsibility and ownership;
• accelerating the propagation of SHE culture across the
organisation with leadership from top management; and
• organising training programmes that are designed to
instil lasting behavioural change and enable efficient
information and technology transfer to enhance
employees’ competency and awareness.
The Group is also committed to support our employees
in reducing health risks and maintaining good physical
and mental well-being through implementation of various
workplace programmes. With this in mind, several
measures have been instituted to improve workplace
conditions and minimise occupational risk.
The latest introduction of the Flexi-Wellness Plan, applicable
to all staff as part of the Group’s core benefits scheme,
underpins our efforts in improving staff members’ health
and wellness through a comprehensive yet flexible
coverage plan that suits each individual’s needs. The
innovative coverage and protection plan is complemented
by the following SHE programmes:
• Gamuda Health Day – health screening, blood donation
and fitness challenge programme;
• Sharing of information regarding health tips and safety
hazards with staff;
• No smoking campaign at project sites;
• SHE Reward Programme – establishing SHE Corners to
share inspiring SHE-related information and workplace
inspection for SHE compliance; and
• Ongoing interaction with neighbourhood committees
at project sites to enhance neighbouring communities’
safety & health. Activities include safety talks,
gotong-
royong
, and etc.
Safety & Health Promotions are held regularly at the
headquarters and project sites to assess main and
emerging risks associated with operational and business
activities. The campaigns conducted are as follows:
• Monthly safety campaigns to highlight significant
occupational risks at project sites such as working at
heights, electricity, night works, underground utilities,
and etc in accordance with the nature and progress
status of the project; and
• Safety & health enhancement trainings to raise
competency and knowledge on safety management
and create awareness on specific safety requirements
based on the projects’ needs.
Apart from that, continuous broad-based monitoring of
safety & health performance are carried out through
inspection, audit and consultation with various
departments. Initiatives are taken to improve employees’
participation by involving them in safety & health-related
activities such as inspection, audit, campaigns and
emergency drills.
In our endeavour to recognise safety & health
contributions and innovations within the Group and
among our business associates, a reward system was
introduced to motivate staff members and contractors
to adopt a more safety & health-oriented mindset and
behaviour in the course of our daily operations. Our focus
on stringent safety & health measures and awareness
enhancement has resulted in an overall reduction of
occupational mishaps throughout the Group.
Continuous review on the OSH Management System and
approach are being carried out to meet our OSH policy
commitment and our clients’ needs, as well as compliance
with related regulatory requirements. Key performance
indicators on the achievement of safety & health targets
are constantly being assessed and improved.
SHE Corners in every floor of Menara Gamuda are created as a reference point
to share useful information on sustainable, while encouraging the practice of
‘reduce, reuse and recycle’ among employees.
