To this end, various programmes have been organised. A first for FGV Group is the inaugural World OSH Day celebration held over three days in April, 2015 to commemorate the International Labour Organisation’s (ILO) World Day for Safety and Health on 28 April. Various activities were lined up such as exhibition booths, blood donation, a Qi-Gong workshop, reflexology booths, talks on “Safety from the Islamic Perspective” as well as “Fire Safety in the Home”, a Personal Safety Workshop especially for the benefit of female employees and various competitions. The central event was a one-day conference whose speakers comprised luminaries from both the public and private sectors including multi-national organisations. Healthy Community Empowers the Nation In 2014, we became the first private sector organisation to launch a “Komuniti Sihat Perkasa Negara” (KOSPEN) programme at Serting District about 2.5 hours from Kuala Lumpur, involving some 3,000 employees, their families, the community and foreign workers. The programme is run in collaboration with the Ministry of Health. It sets out to reduce the incidence of Non-Communicable diseases such as diabetes, heart attacks and stroke by empowering the community to implement early intervention to reduce health risk factors. A risk profile of the target populace is derived from a health screening exercise conducted at the start of the programme. Various initiatives – health education, awareness programmes, nutritional counselling and physical activities - are organised for the medium risk group while the high risk group is referred straightaway to local government health clinics for direct case management. This pilot programme has garnered such widespread appeal and demonstrated visible benefits that FGV extended this programme to a second location, Pasir Gudang in southern Peninsular Malaysia in November 2015. This time around, about 1,000 staff and workers at five of its subsidiary companies are the target beneficiaries. The FGV KOSPEN project also has caused other similarly large organisations to show interest to implement the programme at their own workplaces. HSE Plantation Caucus Recognising that ensuring safety and health at the workplace requires a concerted effort, FGV initiated an HSE Plantation Caucus in 2015, an informal networking platform for HSE professionals embedded in large plantation companies to come together for mutual interest. Among the companies which participated in this caucus are Sime Darby, Kulim Plantations, Boustead Plantations and Genting Plantations. Fittingly, FGV was appointed to take up the first Chairmanship of this caucus, a position which would be rotated annually among the companies. In 2015, there were two such meetings whereby issues such as management reporting and operational safety were discussed. Taking Safety and Health to the Next Level
