STRONG SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS LABOUR PRACTICES AND STANDARDS OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY (CONT’D) Organisational growth and progression are intrinsically tied to the productivity of our employees. As a responsible employer, the Fund is a strong proponent of upholding human rights and prioritising employee well-being. Through focusing on the needs of our employees, we foster high performance and innovation, making for a resilient and prosperous organisation. OUR PERFORMANCE In FY2023, two employees underwent training on health and safety standards, mirroring the efforts of two employees in the previous year. This underscores our consistent dedication to maintaining a safe working environment. OUR APPROACH (CONT’D) Inspections are routinely conducted by an appointed Safety and Health Officer (“HSO”) at each KPJ Hospital every two or three years. Additionally, a designated HSO is assigned at our headquarters under the purview of the Manager. The Fund remains the impetus behind the advancement of an OSH-centric culture throughout our REIT operations. To fortify health and safety measures, fire drills and emergency evacuation procedures were systematically executed across our properties in FY2023. These fire drills were organised by the Joint Management Bodies (“JMB”) of our headquarters, with tenants given advanced notice of the emergency and evacuation procedures through physical notice.
