Sustainability Reports 2022/23

Prioritizing Our People’s Health, Safety and Well-being We are dedicated to protecting the health, safety and well-being of our people. Health and safety systems and policies manage and mitigate risks throughout our operations and subsidiaries. We adhere to all applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our property management and construction arms comply with internationally recognized ISO 45001-certified Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems, which exceed statutory requirements. Occupational Health and Safety Committees, manned by senior executives, oversee health-and-safety risks, initiatives, targets and performance in our business. The Board, via the Executive Committee, directs our group-wide sustainability strategy and development relating to occupational health and safety, and oversees our health-and-safety performance. Health-and-safety audits and incident investigations are conducted regularly at all our operations to identify, mitigate and reduce risks. We also undertake regular inspections and drills and provide training on emergency response procedures. Fire-safety training further enhances our workplace safety and security. Our Work Safety Suggestion Scheme encourages employees to share innovative ideas and solutions that enhance health and safety. The scheme fosters employee participation and raises awareness of risks. 14th Work Safety Suggestion Scheme Gold Award winner – Sanfield’s project ‘Working safely on gondolas’ Health, safety and well-being remain priorities across our business units. Risks, such as manual-lifting, hand-tool injuries, and slips, trips and falls on the same level, are identified and analyzed by our hotel teams. To mitigate those risks, we conduct weekly safety inspections and submit reports to the hotel group safety manager. Regular training is also provided for employees in different business units, equipping them with the essential knowledge and skills to maintain a secure work environment. This year, our hotels invited the Labour Department to provide health and safety training, and the Fire Services Department to deliver defibrillator and CPR training. Our record of 3.94 3 accidents per 1,000 employees is attributable to our ongoing health-and-safety efforts in our construction arm. There have been no fatalities in the Group over the past three reporting years, which is a testament to our success in maintaining a safe workplace. In the event of any work- related injuries, ill health, diseases and incidents, our senior management will immediately conduct a review meeting and accident investigation. We will also perform comprehensive safety checks and maintenance of appliances. Work resumes only after safety enhancements have satisfied Labour Department’s requirements in appropriate cases. ~ 12.5% of sites under our construction and property management subsidiaries hold ISO 45001 2 The 14th scheme’s Gold Award went to Sanfield’s project ‘Working safely on gondolas’. To prevent derailment on the gondola, Sanfield installed six pulley blocks: four supporting the gondola and two anchoring workers’ lifelines and buckles. The design passed safety tests by an independent, registered engineer and was recognized by the Labour Department for protecting workers. It has enhanced work-at-height safety, raised productivity by 36% and reduced labour costs and examination time by 36% and 96%, respectively. ISO 45001 2 OHSAS 18001 has been replaced by ISO 45001 as the new international standard for occupational health and safety management and we obtain ISO 45001 certifications for our operations. 3 The calculation uses methodology adopted by the Hong Kong Construction Association.
