The official launch of
Achieving Zero Accident
at
GAB’s quarterly townhall.
Our staff responded positively to the
campaign, as they diligently noted down
potential dangers at the workplace.
By the end of FY14, we received 65
near-miss reports, up from 14 in FY13.
To round off the campaign, a “Hall of
Good Practices”, featuring safety tips and
photos, was set up in May 2014 to remind
employees of the importance of safety
at work.
ii) Behaviourial Based Safety
With the Safety Pyramid, the goal is to
have the base – which represents safety
initiatives – to be broad while the tip of
the pyramid, which reflects the number of
accidents occurred, to be as narrow as
possible.
The Behaviour Based Safety approach is
really about identifying potential risks in real
world scenarios. Line managers conduct
regular and structured observations of
employees while they are at work at the
brewery production floor, and through these
sessions apart from identifying potential
risks, they are also able to ascertain if the
risks are a result of the employee’s attitude
or the environment which he or she is
working in. Based on the observations,
the most appropriate intervention is
then applied.
In FY14, we managed to maintain 178
accident-free days and also took several
measures to elevate safety standards and
awareness by increasing the number of
signage in the brewery, including mounting
signboards at essential areas and safety
alerts to keep employees updated on safety
related news and information.
Apart from raising awareness on safety,
we also actively promote a sensible drinking
culture. This initiative also reflects one of
our brand owners - Heineken’s worldwide
commitment to make safety a top priority.
During the campaign period, we alerted
our employees on the dangers of drinking
and driving, emphasising on drinking
sensibly and how it relates to road safety.
Through this effort, we are reinforcing
a sensible drinking mindset among our
stakeholders. To promote healthy lifestyles,
free healthcare screenings and talks by the
National Kidney Foundation as well as free
eye and vision examinations were made
available to all employees working at our
Sungei Way Brewery.
