• Provide health and safety induction training for all new workers • Deliver tailored health-and-safety training to all workers, taking into account the unique conditions of each site • Provide guidance on operating procedures and safety instructions • Identify potential hazards and risks during early design and planning stages • Schedule weekly toolbox talks or whenever procedures change • Organize site-specific training for complex procedures that require technical knowledge • Maintain health and safety system throughout construction stages • Provide information, instructions, training and supervision for work processes We urge workers to report any hazards or hazardous situations to supervisors or site managers and to vacate unsafe work environments without fear of retaliation. Regular training enhances our contractors and subcontractors’ awareness of occupational health and safety. During the reporting year, we provided health-and-safety training to 1.6 million attendances. Topics included lifting equipment, working at heights, scaffolding safety, safety card renewal, manual material-handling, general safety management, on-site housekeeping and hazard identification. We also delivered health talks and awareness training regarding heat stroke prevention, mosquito prevention and smoking to our employees and contractors. We invited the Occupational Deafness Compensation Board and the Association for the Rights of Industrial Accident Victims to talk to employees and contractors. For site-specific training, we take a proactive approach to further enhance awareness of safety standards and guidelines: Enhancing workers’ awareness of heat stroke A seminar regarding confined space for our contractors’ management Through risk identification, prioritization, assessment and management, we proactively manage on-site safety. We undertake internal inspections, including but not limited to Director Safety Walk, Developer Project Management Safety Walk and Construction General Manager Safety Walk. These inspections by senior management take place at least twice a year. Safety walks by construction project director and project manager are conducted at least four times a year. Surprise safety inspections by the Central Safety team are also conducted for projects that fail to meet safety targets or display unsatisfactory safety performance. Findings from these inspections are reported to our Occupational Health and Safety Committee to evaluate and identify areas for improvement. Internal site-safety professionals conduct quarterly compliance audits, and we undergo biannual external audits in accordance with the Factories and Industrial Undertakings (Safety Management) Regulation. By exempting contractors from the standard industry fees imposed on claims, we gather the most accurate and comprehensive data on work-related incidents. This enables us to implement targeted safety measures and enhance our practices, ultimately reducing the likelihood of accidents. In the event of an incident, near miss, injury case or immediate need for medical attention, we will: • Set up a designated investigation team, comprising of first aider, safety officer, site supervisor and subcontractor representative to conduct a thorough investigation and formulate follow up actions • Comply with all relevant laws and regulations and report all injuries according to the accident reporting requirements • Implement follow-up actions to enhance site safety and prevent recurrence of similar incidents • Conduct a safety effectiveness assessment to identify areas for improvements Before Construction After Construction During Construction Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited | Sustainability Report 2023/24 < 79 > Our Reporting Approach Message from the Sustainability Steering Committee Our Business Our Approach to Sustainability Value Created for the Environment Value Created for People Value Created for Customers Value Created for Supply Chain Value Created for Community Appendices
