Empowering Our People and Enriching Our Communities Integrated Annual Report 2024 SECTION 5 • DELIVERING SUSTAINABLE VALUE FOR OUR STAKEHOLDERS 175 Permit-To-Work System & Detailed Job Statement Method Statement The Permit-To-Work (“PTW”) System requires employees and contractors to conduct a thorough risk assessment for high-risk or non-routine tasks, complemented by a Detailed Job Method Statement detailing scope of work, activities, identified hazards and proposed control measures. All PTWs are subject to review and authorisation by the HS Department prior to the commencement of work, with ongoing monitoring throughout the duration of the task. In cases of non-compliance, the PTW will be suspended until the issue is rectified. Stop Work Order Procedure The Stop Work Order (“SWO”) Procedure is designed to address unsafe work conditions that may pose a risk of accidents or injuries. In line with the OHSA 2022, employees are encouraged to report safety concerns to HS personnel and are authorised to initiate an SWO if necessary. Once hazards are verified by the HS Department, an SWO will be issued, halting work activities until the identified safety issues are resolved. The HS Department will provide clearance to resume work when the work is deemed safe. This procedure instils a sense of empowerment among employees, enabling them to safeguard their own well-being and that of their peers. Strengthening Health & Safety Awareness & Communication Safety Intelligence Centre The GEHS Department serves as an information hub for collecting and analysing incident data and mitigation plans. After completing the analysis, GEHS Department communicates the lessons learned through safety alerts to all employees. In FYE2024, 23 safety alerts were issued, with preventive actions summarised in health and safety initiatives to prevent future incidents. To promote knowledge sharing, two (2) cross-plant visits were conducted to foster the learning and preventive actions on safety practices across all facilities. Safety Reporting Mobile Application In FYE2024, Press Metal implemented an upgrade to its safety reporting platform by extending the platform to mobile applications. This enhancement has improved the accessibility and efficiency of managing accidents, incidents, site inspections and permits to work. Looking ahead, Press Metal plans to introduce additional features to enhance the communication and management of health and safety across the various areas. Pressfan Mobile Application & PressSafe Feature PressFan remained as an essential tool for sharing operational updates, safety alerts and health and safety information across our Sarawak operations. Designed to be user-friendly, it continued to play a key role to keep employees informed and connected. An add-on safety alert feature in our PressFan application, PressSafe, is available exclusively to female employees in Sarawak. This feature is aimed at providing additional security, for those working late hours or commuting alone. PressSafe incorporates a location tagging function that enables users to request assistance or send an SOS signal in emergencies. WeChat Work (WeCom) Our China operations adopted the WeCom as a space for employees to share feedback and raise concerns. This initiative reflected our commitment to fostering open communication, enhancing employee engagement and continuously improving health and safety practices.
