ANNUAL REPORT 2021 103 SUSTAINABILITY HEALTH AND SAFETY EMPLOYEE COMMITTEE MYEG encourages our employees to display their concerns and this also applies to health and safety aspects. All of our employees are represented by a formal joint management-worker Health and Safety Employee Committees. The committee was established in 2014 and consists of 18 members from the Group’s management to represent the employer and 22 staff representatives to provide various points of view on employee health and safety measures, in compliance with OSHA requirements and the Group’s OSH Policy. The aim of this committee is to assess any safety risks in MYEG’s operations both present and future whilst also giving counsel to the Board regarding overall management. Among the key safety concerns raised by the committee has been about the existing COVID-19 pandemic as well as related SOP compliance for our delivery officers and other employees that do not work from home. Concerns such as staff mental health during MCO, accidents, harassments and bullying have been key topics for the Group, especially mental health, given the pandemic’s prolonged existence in society. Therefore, discussions have taken place on how to improve employee mental health during the MCO. Furthermore, Health and Safety data is collected in compliance with OSHA standards for industry benchmarking purposes. In FY2021, among the health and safety reports and statistics collected, two cases were reported on sexual harassment, four cases on mental health issues, two cases on workplace bullying, 21 injuries during working hours, one death due to COVID-19 and one accident during working hours. Given the aforementioned data, we strongly aim to improve health and safety at the workplace by reducing injuries at workplace, educating employees on mental health and having a healthy lifestyle as well as creating awareness on harassment & bullying in the workplace. We also target to review the current relevant policy / programme on health and safety, OSHA and harassment / bullying to mitigate these issues from occurring again. In order to maintain the high standards of the committee in tandem with meeting OSHA requirements so that health and safety continues to be scrutinised and improved when needed, we send committee members for a refresher course on OSHA. As most employees were working from home, we remained limited in conducting the refresher course to its fullest capacity. However, supported by digital communication channels, we continued to do our best in ensuring this refresher course was conducted as feasibly as possible. Two committees meetings were held in FY2021 and the following decisions were made on the discussed matters, in pursuant of fortifying our compliance with OSHA standards and the Group’s health and safety policy: r 5SBJOJOH PO TBGFUZ BXBSFOFTT BOE BDDJEFOU SFQPSUJOH QSPUPDPM BXBSFOFTT PO JTTVFT SFMBUFE UP TBGFUZ QPMJDJFT BOE injuries prevention was carried forward to 2022 as the training involves physical interaction; r $POEVDU XFFLMZ BVEJUT BU BMM XPSL FOWJSPONFOUT UP FOTVSF UIF DPNQMJBODF PG $07*% 401 TUJQVMBUFE CZ UIF Ministry of Health; r 04)" $PNQMJBODF 04)" TUBOEBSET QMBZ B DSVDJBM SPMF JO XPSLGPSDF NBOBHFNFOU TBGFUZ QSPHSBN EFWFMPQNFOU and accident prevention; r 3FUVSO UP 8PSL QPMJDJFT BOE r )B[BSE BTTFTTNFOU In regards to internal OSH training and / or refresher courses at MYEG, we were unable to conduct physical training sessions due to the MCO and persistent pandemic situation. We plan to carry this internal OSH training and / or refresher course in May 2022. Given the absence of this regular OSH training, our training budget for OSH-related initiatives in FY2021 was RM3,710 for OSHA training, and RM15,310 for Emergency Response Team (“ERT”).
