FGV Annual Report 2014

The HSE Department navigates FGV’s day-to-day safety journey. It is led by an HSE practitioner with 30 years’ experience in the sector including stints at Department of Occupational Safety & Health and National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health. He is also a qualified OSH, Environment and CI (UK) as well as a Quality Lead Auditor Course Trainer. The department develops strategies, oversees and drives Group- level initiatives to highlight HSE concerns group-wide, ensure HSE visibility and engage with diverse employees, workers and third- party service providers in an effort to instil a safety-centric culture. These include incident monitoring, accident prevention activities, safety risk management programmes, benchmarking activities, campaigns, communications and awareness programmes as well as capacity building and training. In the pursuit of FGV’s HSE objectives the department is supported by the Group HSE Management Committee. This in turn, comprises some 30 Safety and Health Officers (SHOs) or SHO-candidates from major subsidiaries and associate companies. Under the stewardship of Group HSE Department, the committee meets quarterly for a Group-wide HSE performance review, knowledge sharing and project co- ordination. The HSE Management Committee helps to ensure that strategies and initiatives are cascaded to their respective companies as well as Safety and Health Committees for implementation. In concert with the efforts at Group level by the HSE Department, the subsidiary companies also undertake, jointly and independently, various training, competency building, awareness and engagement programmes. As a result of its strategic HSE framework, the FGV Group has a robust calendar of events, campaigns, meetings, site visits, workplace inspections, audits, training courses at both head office, regional centres and operational workplaces all year round. In-house HSE competency Reflecting FGV's aspiration to develop the highest standards of safety and health at the workplace, a capacity building programme has been put in place to develop a core group of in-house safety professionals. To date, FGV has 33 registered and competent SHOs who have obtained the Green Book from Department of Occupational Safety and Health. This will bring us closer to our target of having one SHO for every 500 employees. Safety Performance Over the five-year period from 2009 to 2014, the total number of accidents across the Group, especially fatalities, has shown a marked decrease. This is due to continuous monitoring, safety audits, safety education, awareness programmes and competency training.
