Caring for Our People OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH Why it matters Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is paramount for BPlant as an oil palm group, ensuring the well-being of workers and minimising accident risks. This safeguards human lives, our reputation, and productivity in hazardous work environments. Adhering to OSH standards also ensures compliance with regulations, fosters sustainable operations, and builds community trust. BPlant’s Approach The Safety Committee convenes quarterly to bring together employee representatives and committee members for discussions on OSH updates and SOPs. To ensure comprehensive safety coverage, all outsourced workers are incorporated into our OSH system, with primary safety responsibilities assigned to the principal. Our Safety and Health Policy underscores the shared responsibility of both employers and employees for overall OSH management. Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control (HIRARC) HIRARC is an integral part of our OSH management system. Our hazard identification is carried out through the following activities: WORKPLACE INSPECTION SAFETY ELEMENT AUDIT ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION REPORT LEGAL REQUIREMENT REVIEW AUTHORITY INSPECTION REVIEW SAFETY REPORT GENERATED Based on the Safety Element Audit in RSPO and MSPO Standard for BPlant, we have initiated preventive action plans to minimise and eliminate future accidents.
