57 ANNUAL REPORT 2024 MST GOLF GROUP BERHAD Employee Safety Ensuring a safe and healthy work environment remains a top priority for MST Golf. In 2024, we remained committed to our Zero Injury Workplace goal and continued to uphold our Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Policy to promote strong OSH standards across all operations. Workplace Safety Training and Governance As part of the Group’s continuous safety improvement efforts, 341 (50%) employees were trained in occupational health and safety-related matters in 2024. Notably, 182 employees were trained in Basic Occupational First Aid, CPR and AED procedures, equipping them with critical life-saving skills. Additionally, the Group established a new Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Committee to oversee the implementation and enforcement of workplace safety policies and trained 35 new OSH Coordinators to ensure compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (1994). The Group also continued to conduct comprehensive company-wide Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control (HIRARC) assessments to strengthen safety measures across our retail outlets, warehouses, golf academies, and event operations. Workplace Injury Performance and Incident Management In 2024, we met our zero work-related fatality target. However, we recorded two lost-time injury incidents, resulting in a Lost Time Injury Rate (LTIR) of 1.46%, falling short of our goal of maintaining zero lost-time injuries. Both the incidents occurred in our retail outlet where our employees sustained minor injuries. While neither injury was severe, MST Golf recognised the importance of preventing any harm to our employees at work. Thus, to eliminate hazards and reduce risks, we follow the Hierarchy of Controls, which includes: • Implementing engineering and administrative controls to mitigate risks in high-traffic work areas. • Strengthening safety training and awareness programmes to improve hazard identification and reporting. • Ensuring regular audits and proactive interventions to maintain compliance with OSH regulations. Retail teams now submit monthly safety and health updates to the administrative team to ensure ongoing monitoring and resolution of potential hazards. Through structured risk assessments, training, and continuous improvement, we remain committed to providing our employees with a safe, secure, and health-conscious workplace and achieving our zero workplace injury target.
