FGV Annual Report 2016

FELDA GLOBAL VENTURES HOLDINGS BERHAD 80 REPORTING ON WHAT MATTERS MSOSH Awards recognises member companies and organisations for their commendable safety and health records. In 2016, FGV submitted 38 sites for award consideration (from 16 in 2015) and received a special citation for the largest participation in the award programme. All 38 submissions received an award. Of these, eight (8) submissions received Gold Class 1 awards, compared to three (3) in 2015. Aside from scheduled audits, FGV's comprehensive risk management programme involves the participation of our employees, contractors and vendors through regular Contractor Safety Workshops. These sessions equip our contractors with skills in Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Determining Control (HIRADC) to help them recognise and mitigate sources of accidents in the workplace. BUILDING OSH LEADERSHIP AND CAPABILITY At its headquarters, regional centres and the various workplaces dotted across the country, FGV ensures that employees and workers receive adequate and relevant training. The packed year-round training calendar focuses on imparting OSH-specific knowledge and enhancing technical skills of OSH practitioners within the Group as well as general awareness training. Topics range from OSH legislation, Safe Riding, HIRADC, Ergonomics as well as HSE management systems. In concerted efforts to meet legal requirements to have certified competent persons, training includes competency-based training such as Authorised Entry & Standby Persons training, Authorised Gas Tester and Entry Supervisor Training; and Working at Heights Training. Given the sizeable requirement within the Group, FGV aims to build a core team of in-house trainers in order to reduce the cost of attending external courses to obtain and renew these competencies.

Our employees are called upon to speak at National and Regional OSH Conferences as well as invited to act as auditors for MSOSH. Nonetheless, 2016 saw us commence our HSE Leadership Programme, which was developed internally with help from our Group Organisational & Learning Department (GOLD). The HSE Leadership Programme was designed to help our SHOs morph from being OSH technocrats into executive all-rounders. Thus, the modules leaned on leadership & interpersonal skills, business acumen, grooming, social etiquette, communication, project management and strategic planning. Through the Programme, participants add valuable high-level skills to their array of technical abilities, putting them on course to become potential HSE drivers within the FGV organisation. The HSE Leadership Programme is divided into four (4) parts, and the first session was conducted in August 2016. 2016 INCIDENT REPORT FGV has been keeping track of its incident data since 2009. However, in the past we have been including all incidents including those involving third parties which falls outside the scope of required reporting to DOSH under the Notification of Accidents, Dangerous Occurrences, Poisoning and Occupational Diseases (NADOPOD). As a result, in 2016 we undertook a major review and re-alignment of all our historical incident data. As regards the year 2016, FGV's accident track record was mixed with the total number of accidents decreasing 29.9% to 272 accidents from 388 a year ago. However, the number of accidents causing permanent disabilities increased from one (1) to six (6). Regretfully, the total number of fatalities for the year also rose to four (4) from one (1) in the previous year.
