Sustainability Report 2011
In addition to these ISWP practices, we continue to maintain stringent standards
and work practices making sure that our employees enjoy a safe, healthy and
pleasant workplace.
A new refreshment safety driving programme to ensure safer driving practices among our
staff, helped to lower the traffic accident injury rate from 3.71 in 2010 to 3.11 in 2011.
We are also delighted to report that we achieved the lowest
accident rate in our history – the figure fell from 16 in 2010
to 10 in 2011, with no serious injuries. These positive figures
are bringing us closer to our goal to achieve a zero accident
rate throughout our operations.
“Seeking to achieve higher standards and benchmarking themselves
against the highest international standards of health and safety,
Towngas has worked hard to achieve its designation as an
International Safe Workplace under the framework of the World Health
Organisation’s Safe Community Programme.”
