Turning Promises into Action

The safety of all our stakeholders is of paramount importance to Towngas. Our
target is to achieve zero accidents among our staff and contractors and to continue
providing customers with a safe and reliable supply of energy, while also maintaining a
high standard of safety at our facilities.

In accordance with our commitment to safety, we organise occupational safety and
health (OSH) programmes for our staff and contractors. We also develop smart
appliances with safety features that address the needs of an ageing society and
introduce advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and big data
analytics to further improve the safe operation of our network.
