Deleum Berhad Annual Report 2009 23
Quality, Health, Safety and Environment
Quality, Health, Safety and
Environment (QHSE) is the Group’s
top priority in safeguarding the welfare
of our employees, assets, environment
and society at large. Management and
all employees are responsible for
implementing QHSE policies and
procedures which are integrated into
daily operations.
In 2009, the Deleum Corporate HSE
committee was restructured to include
the collective participation from
various functions and levels of
employees and is headed by the Group
Managing Director. As a result, this
has provided strong leadership,
resources, visible commitment,
personal involvement and active
participation in HSE activities.
The main functions of the committee
are to:-
• Review and develop HSE practices,
policies and procedures at the
workplace;
• Develop annual HSE plan to meet
the HSE objectives;
• Organise HSE programmes, review
its effectiveness and make
recommendations to the
Management; and
• Conduct investigations of incidents
and accidents which occur at the
workplace and recommend
remedial measures.

Responsibility Towards HSE
Excellence” was introduced in 2009.
The aim of this slogan is to instill
ownership and collective involvement
of each and every employee towards
achieving the Group’s HSE objectives.
