Senior management also inspect our sites at least twice annually through: Director Safety Walks Developer Project Management Safety Walks Construction General Manager Safety Walks The Central Safety team further conducts surprise checks on projects that fail to meet safety targets or exhibit unsatisfactory safety performance. Findings from these inspections are reported to our OHS Committee for evaluation and improvement. We maintain a rigorous audit schedule, with internal site-safety professionals conducting compliance audits quarterly and external audits performed biannually, in accordance with the Factories and Industrial Undertakings (Safety Management) Regulation. These external safety audits cover both site-level and corporate- level. Sanfield also participates in Real Estate Developers Association’s inspections to verify site safety compliance.
