Our CR Targets and Achievements

What we have achieved to-date
Going Forward
Accident Reduction
We have proactive monitoring activities to enhance safety performance
and reduce the number of work related accidents. We established a Safety
Pillar via the TPM route to reduce the frequency of accidents. To-date,
Safety Improvement Teams have been launched to improve conditions in
such areas such as the loading bay, ammonia plant and pedestrian walk-
way at the entrance.
A highly visible safety information board at the canteen area is helping
promote awareness about OSH issues.
On top of these safety efforts, GAB also has the following initiatives in
place to reduce work-related accidents:
• First aid training and fire drill training are conducted on a bi-annual
basis. A Fire Fighting Refresher training and fire evacuation drill
conducted in April 2010 to promote fire safety for all employees in
SWB.
• An emergency number linked directly to our security personnel is
made available to all employees and they can call this in the event of
a general or personal emergency.
• Enforcement of Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) for all people
including employee, contractors, suppliers and visitors effective from
June 2010. Compulsory PPE entails safety shoes, safety goggles &
ear-plugs. The use of safety helmets is compulsory when entering
the warehouse and crates storage area.
• Safety awareness briefing for all Contractors was conducted in
March 2010. This briefing is a refresher for all in-house contractors
regarding safety rules and regulations while carrying out work within
the brewery.
• We also reviewed and tightened the work process for contractors
carrying out hot work where by authorisation and a permit-to-work
by engineers. Enforcement began from January 2010.
• Safety Briefing for all employees of Supply Chain during SCC. Sharing
achievements compared with other OpCos world-wide.
More safety teams will be launched to reduce risk
levels on respective areas when required.
To organise training for all members of the Safety
& Health Committee to equip them with appropriate
knowledge.
To finalise safety work procedures in the pilot areas.
There will then be horizontal expansion to all related
areas covering all activities.
To carry out HIRAC (Hazard Identification, Risk
Assessment and Control) on pilot areas. There will
then be horizontal expansion of HIRAC to related
areas in the departments.
Monthly safety audits to be conducted by individual
departments.
Create awareness on the locations of the fire
extinguishers, hydrant plan, first aid box and
near-misses forms.
