We regret to report that there was one fatality case involving our contractor due to a fall from height. We have
implemented corrective actions to prevent a similar case from occurring. These actions include the installation
of additional safety lines on each floor, strengthening the inspection of the proper use of Full Body Harnesses,
providing extra safety personnel to monitor work at height, familiarising contractors with working at height SOP
and familiarising them with our Occupational Safety and Health guidelines.
We also observed an increase in near misses concurrent with the rise in working hours. Meanwhile, working hours
in 2023 aligned to our local labour laws as most of our operations were fully operational compared to 2022,
and this was further influenced by the inclusion of working hours from our new site in Taixing, China.
