and support workplace diversity. The Group practises
non-prejudicial policies in respect of any race, gender,

Human Capital Development
The Group organises various trainings, seminars
and workshops to upgrade and enhance the skills
and knowledge of our employees. The training
programmes range from job-related technical
trainings to soft skills, management and administrative
courses.
Safety and Health
The safety and health of our people are of paramount
importance to us. Besides having appropriate plans
to deal with emergencies, concerted effort is made
to prevent accidents and injuries at our workplace. To
create a fair working environment for our employees,
the following procedures have been adopted and
diligently enforced:-
(i) At every project site, the Project Team will ensure
that a Project Safety Plan is in place before the
commencement of any construction work to
ensure that the highest standards of occupational
safety and health are maintained.
(ii) The Group’s safety and health systems and
practices for both corporate offices and project
sites are annually assessed based on the OHSAS
18001: 2007 Standards.
In addition to placing sign boards and notices at
strategic locations throughout all project sites, safety
and health inspections are also carried out on a
weekly basis.
