Managing Safety
Keppel Corporation established a Board Safety Committee (BSC) in 2006, the first by a public-listed company in Singapore, to review and develop safety policies across its multiple business units. The formation of BSC provides strong and visible leadership as well as commitment from the top.
Through the BSC, five key safety principles were developed to help encourage and drive the right behaviour in our daily operations across the Group.
Keppel's Workplace Safety & Health (WSH) 2018 strategy introduced in October 2010 allows us to focus our efforts on four key thrusts to align Group efforts and further improve our safety and health practices.
To appraise the effectiveness of our efforts to improve safety, we have been consolidating and assessing safety and health information from various business units across more than 30 countries.
The Keppel Group reports on its Safety Performance in the annual sustainability report, and our statistics are calculated based on the Singapore Ministry of Manpower's requirements. For cross referencing and to benchmark ourselves on a global scale, we also use the standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
