We are in the process of expanding our training programme to achieve our 2020 KPI of increasing total occupational health and safety (“OHS”) training hours by 5% when compared to the baseline year of 2015.
Last year, we conducted an analysis of our OHS training needs and identified areas where additional training was required. We consequently developed an e-learning platform for senior management to receive compulsory OHS training. This was launched in March 2019 and has achieved a 100% completion rate. We are working to expand this e-learning platform to frontline and office employees in 2020.
In 2019, we delivered approximately 28,600 hours of training to our employees, covering a range of OHS topics, including STF prevention, managing deliveries that involve a truck-mounted crane, working at heights and the safe use of cutting devices.
In Mainland China, we provided training for our senior management and line managers focusing on communicating safety priorities and demonstrating leadership on OHS issues. We conducted emergency response drills covering security management, crowd management and facilities management, which aimed to improve our emergency response capabilities across our Mainland China portfolio. We also organised a fire safety video competition, a safety sport event and safety quiz activities to reinforce this training and boost engagement.
