Employee turnover in the
Plantation
and
Bulking Divisions
relates primarily to abscondments and resignations,
respectively; the majority of whom are engaged in physical
labour where traditionally the employee turnover has
been high. Improving retention is a critical priority for the
Plantation Division and as such, the division has ramped up
efforts in building and upgrading workers’ living quarters
and estate infrastructure which are complete with basic
amenities, sundry shops, recreational spaces, places of
worship and internet connection as well as providing rewards
for performers.
Occupational Safety & Health
Operating safely, sustainably and responsibly remains
integral to us and contributes towards the long-term success
of our business. Our aim is to continually build and instil
both a company and industry culture that protects people
from harm and improves their health and wellbeing.
Towards this end, we comply with all the relevant national
laws, regulations and other requirements relating to best
practices in occupational safety and health; and continuously
carry out activities aimed at preventing workplace injuries.
Preventive and scheduled maintenance is regularly
performed on all the Group’s facilities, plants, storage
tanks and terminals; whereupon repairs and replacements
are made when necessary or appropriate. In addition,
contractors and third party service providers working for and
employed by the Group are responsible for knowing and
complying with all applicable laws, regulations, approvals or
permits relating to the work they are doing for the Group.
Those found to be in breach of these requirements would be
subjected to suspension and/or termination of their services.
Employees who use any machinery are trained to do so
correctly, while training programs in the use of personal
protective equipment for workers handling or exposed to
hazardous materials are conducted regularly and will continue
to be a vital part of the Group’s operations. All division’s have
health and safety committees which consist of divisional
management and employees. It is to these committees that
incidences are reported, and where compliance with policies
is monitored, and improvements are discussed.
