By emphasising occupational safety and health in Malaysia, we empower our employees to thrive in a secure, healthy work environment, mitigating health hazards and promoting well-being. Our approach significantly correlates with a decrease in workplace accidents and injuries, cultivating a healthier and more productive workforce.
Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control
Our Occupational Safety and Health Committee is in place to oversee Ajinomoto (Malaysia) Berhad's safety systems and programmes and ensure their effectiveness. This is supported by:
- Monthly meetings to discuss appropriate corrective actions required for accidents
- Development of annual safety plans
- Initiation of programmes to increase awareness of health and safety issues among employees
Ajinomoto (Malaysia) Berhad organises employee engagement sessions monthly to manage, identify and assess workplace hazards and potential risks. We have adopted Ajinomoto Group's Kiken Yochi Training (which refers to hazard prediction) for the benefit of our employees.
Additionally, our Stop Work Policy enables employees to refrain from working when they believe a situation is unsafe or may cause injuries.
Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Training
OSH trainings are necessary to equip employees with the knowledge to identify and avoid hazards, preventing accidents and occupational diseases.
Promotion of Employee Health
In addition to workplace safety, we prioritise employee health and well-being and empower our employees to adopt a healthy lifestyle by improving their health and nutritional literacy.
To ensure compliance and track progress, we established KPIs focused on maintaining healthy body mass index (BMI), increasing vegetable intake and encouraging participation in sports or physical activities.
