Our goal is to build safety awareness and competencies with safety induction training covering various topics including, among others, chemical safety and health awareness, chemical handling, air hose safety, machine guarding, and safe work practices. The programme is designed to train employees to become fully aware of the safety and health measures and to meet the Department of Occupational Safety and Health’s guidelines. Workers are equipped with safety protective wear and equipment such as ear muffs for protection against noise pollution, goggles for protection against glare, dust, water and other particles, and gloves for the handling of chemicals or other potentially hazardous materials. Destini has in place an occupational safety and health policy that highlights our commitment to provide our employees with a safe working environment to minimise occupationalrelated injuries, and this will be achieved by the following: • R aise awareness, develop and enforce safe working practices • Provide continuous training for all staff • C ompliance with all applicable safety and health laws and regulations • R eview the safety and health policy and give recommendations for improvement • E valuate the effectiveness of safety and health measures and carry out corrective action plan • I dentify workplace risk and implement a course of action to lower risks In an effort to address our Health and Safety concern, an Emergency Response Team is established which reacts and manages any incidents that may happen at our working environment.
