The Group is committed to maintaining a safe work place at all sites, depots and business units across the country so that accidents and ill health due to work situations are avoided. 

The Group regards occupational health and safety as a fundamental business responsibility and reviews health and safety matters on a regular basis to ensure that business activities are undertaken in a responsible manner and in accordance with relevant statutory legislations. 

All categories of employees are trained in occupational health and safety and provided with necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) while emphasizing their role in conforming to safety standards, using established procedures and working safely to maintain a safe and healthy work environment. Health and safety practice is fundamental to good manufacturing practice (GMP).

In addition, fire equipment such as fire extinguishers, water hydrants, automatic smoke detectors, etc are in place to handle any fire emergency. 

The Group employs health and safety specialists and provides on-site medical facilities for employees. Standards of health and safety at work are continually monitored and improved through regular safety audits, risk assessments and permit-to-work, formal accident investigation, hazards identification and elimination, safety induction and training.
