An initiative to encourage oil palm plantations to
redesign and modify the tractors and trailers used to
transport workers and chemicals around the premises
was undertaken to improve their safety.
Results
Innovative transport solutions were created, as shown in
figures 4–6.
Many of the solutions to the transport safety issues in
the oil palm plantations were low-cost improvements
that were easy to implement. Such efforts to improve the
well-being of workers have motivated them to be more
mindful of risks and dangers. Through this process,
accidents and health issues have been minimized.
