Notable health and safety initiatives COVID-19 - PROTECTING OUR PEOPLE FGV has eight (8) adaptive and agile overarching principles in managing the COVID-19 pandemic at the workplace, including physical distancing, personal hygiene and personal protective equipment provision, personal health assessment, self-declaration, workplace controls, movement controls, risk assessment, vaccination and testing. The details of these principles are stipulated in FGV Group’s COVID-19 Standard Operating Procedure (Version 1). As an essential business sector with operations in Malaysia and others countries, we need to ensure FGV’s control measures to curb the COVID-19 pandemic in the workplace evolves with current strategies. These measures included: COVID-19 Risk Management FGV ensures all employees are aware of the COVID-19 hazards and risks by continuously educating our employees and contractors on how to protect themselves from being infected. Standard COVID-19 terms and language are used to promote better understanding of the risks and symptoms. The COVID-19 Task Force is formed which issued the FGV COVID-19 Standard Operating Procedures, Risk Assessment, and Key Disruption Indicators. Workplace Assessment We established systematic risk assessments through workplace assessments appropriate to FGV operations to identify potential COVID-19 exposure. Employees with potential COVID-19 exposure are assessed and mandated to adhere to controls. FGV encourages employees to practise physical distancing as much as possible, and implemented the work-from-home arrangement, flexible working hours and staggered lunch hours. Workplace Control We implement the COVID-19 protocols as a new norm, such as physical distancing, personal hygiene, and health screening. Mass gathering events are not allowed during the peak cases recorded in the country. Positive Case Management Positive COVID-19 infections in the workplace are managed and controlled by following the advice or guidance of the local authorities. Pre-Entry Tests The COVID-19 testing is a prerequisite before entry to FGV’s premises. 99 CLIMATE ACTION & ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2020/2021
