being absent from work for more than 5 working days will be
considered ‘a lost time injury’.
LTIFR corresponds to the number of lost time injuries
occurring in the workplace per 1 million hours worked.
During the previous reporting year, the Group recorded
an overall LTIFR of 2.77 incidents per million hours worked
against LTFIR of 4.39 recorded in the previous year. The
indicator helps us to track the effectiveness of measures
taken to improve safety and health performance in all
business divisions. In addition, it helps the group to identify
the most useful preventive action.
The Group reported 2.77 LTIFR for every 1 million man-hours
worked. Some of the accidents arising from the Plantation
division include injuries caused from the usage of work tools
such as machetes and sickles. Others have falling fronds,
thorn cuts and injuries due to the handling of FFB.
Covid-19 Response
The Group has taken extensive measures across our
businesses to safeguard employees and customers from
the Covid-19 pandemic. We have implemented additional
employee safety measures based on guidance from the
relevant health authorities across all our premises, including
enhanced hygiene protocols, social distancing, mask use
and temperature screenings.
We enhanced daily sanitation practices in all our premises.
We have installed hand sanitisers across all our premises,
added signs and floor decals to promote physical distancing.
Workstations have also been evaluated for adherence to
physical distancing guidelines. As at the date of this Report, all
of our businesses are operating without significant disruption.
In our Manufacturing and Bulking Divisions, for instance,
all chemical related product supplied are issued a Safety
Data Sheet (“SDS”). This sheet clearly indicates the type of
chemical that employees are being exposed to and how
best to handle them. The SDS will indicate the potency of
the chemical and the level of danger it may pose to the
employee i.e. mild, moderate, highly dangerous. The safety
measures taken by the employee will commensurate with
the danger level.
Manufacturing Division
has achieved 2,015 days (which is
equivalent to 5.5 years) without any lost time incident as at
31 March 2020. During the year in our Plantation Division,
PTNJL’s palm oil mill has retained its accreditation of
Sistem Manajemen Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja (or
“SMK3”), a local Indonesian Government safety certification
that is comparable with the globally recognised OHSAS
18001:2007.
Tragically we suffered two fatalities in FYE2020. In April 2019,
an estate worker in Ladang Amgreen, Sarawak was fatally
injured a while attending to equipment repairs. In October
2019 an employee at our PTNJL oil mill was fatally injured
while trying to remove some dirt near the mechanical nut
stirrer. As a company standard, we offered support to the
bereaved families and conducted investigations. These
incidents had served to remind us that we must continue
to strive to make our workplaces safer and our employees
cognisant of the risks in their respective job functions.
Lost Time Injury
Beginning FYE2020, we have applied the methodology
of the Malaysian Department of Occupational Safety and
Health on the Lost Time Injury in computing our Lost Time
Injury Frequency Rate (“LTIFR”). The methodology stipulates
that injuries incurred by our employees resulting in them
