SAFETY CULTURE
WHA Group provides employees with training programs that are required by regulations in order to foster a thorough understanding and awareness of OHS practices. On an annual basis, the Group provides and ensures that all employees receive appropriate health surveillance programs.
Furthermore, access to medical services for employees is ensured through the provision of health and safety insurance. Nonetheless, WHA Group welcomes and encourages its employees to make suggestions to their supervisors, Human Resource Department, Safety Department, and OHS Specialist about how to improve working conditions.
Notably, WHA Group extends its safety concerns to the Group's contractors. It is critical that these stakeholders strictly adhere to the Group's safety standards to the best of their abilities. As a result, prior to beginning work, the contractors will receive training in three areas: environmental policy, relevant regulations, and safety standards. Those who successfully complete the training course will be issued a contractor card that will expire one year from the date of issuance. In 2021, a similar training course was held for 165 new contractors and 936 contractors with expired contractor cards. Contractors who perform shortterm work must also complete training and obtain a one-time work permit.
In addition to safety training programs, WHA Group established the Safety Club to collaboratively improve safety measures among stakeholders. The Club is made up of WHA ID and WHAUP employees, contractors, and customers. The goal of this Safety Club is for participants to share their thoughts and opinions on safety practices. Due to the pandemic, WHA Group held online meetings with customers, the most recent of which was held in October 2021. There were 41 customers in attendance at this meeting, and the topics of discussion included traffic management, road safety, drug addiction/abuse control, first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and the benefits of community enterprise. Furthermore, In order to prepare for any incidents that may occur, the Group held a drill for employees both in the office and in the field.
