64 DATASONIC GROUP BERHAD SUSTAINABILITY 04 SAFETY & HEALTH Occupational safety and health (“OSH”) continue to be one of the Group’s material matters as workplace incidents may disrupt our business operations. With this in mind, we are committed to continuously improving the safety and health practices at Datasonic to keep our employees safe and optimise efficiencies. SUSTAINABILITY REPORT SAFETY POLICY • To provide a safe and healthy workplace and working conditions for all to prevent incident, injuries and illness. • To safeguard employees from any hazards to their safety and health aspects in daily work processes. • To safeguard our visitors and contractors at all times from any hazards at our premises. • To provide training to all employees in respect to safety and health matters. • To comply with all applicable safety and health legal requirements and industry standards. • To ensure safety and health aspects are prioritised during any critical set-up as a preventive measure. Datasonic’s processes are guided by our Safety Policy, outlining our pledge to uphold workplace safety. The policy applies to employees, contractors and other external stakeholders at our premises. To ensure compliance with the policy and safety regulations, our safety practices and matters are enforced and governed by our OSH Committee. We adhere to OSH national regulatory standards, including the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994. We also have an Emergency Response Team (“ERT”) in place to handle any potential emergencies. Furthermore, our DMSB’s operations have achieved ISO 45001:2018 certification, demonstrating our commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy work environment. To monitor and manage safety risks, we conduct safety audits and inspections at our facilities and implement corrective actions as needed. We undertake risk assessments in relation to safety and health for the Group’s new and existing operations. OSH is a material topic discussed during Board meetings, with safety performance data, incident reports, and corrective actions brought to the Board’s attention. Our target is to have an injury-free workplace with zero accidents. To achieve this, we conduct safety training and programmes at Datasonic to ensure employees understand their roles and responsibilities, while equipping them with the necessary skills in maintaining a safe and healthy workplace. In FY2023, we recorded two minor lost time injures (“LTI”) at DMSB. Following the incidents, we conducted thorough investigation to identify the root cause and implement corrective actions to prevent future recurrence. LTI refers to work-related incidents that result in time off from work, or loss of productive work.
