| Last year Singtel attained bizSAFE Level 3 certification for our key businesses in Singapore, a step up that requires external verification of risk management
implementation related to WSH. This was an important development towards ensuring compliance with the requirements WSH Act. |
| |
| For occupational health and safety, Singtel ensures that at least one person is trained on each floor of our buildings to be a Health Manager. As part of our
ongoing efforts, we also conduct regular dry runs for contingencies such as fire drills. |
| |
| Extending our reach to external parties, our revised Procurement policy takes vendors’ bizSAFE status into consideration during the tender evaluation stage.
By spreading WSH awareness to our business partners and vendors, Singtel is demonstrating a preference to work with people who share our commitment
to safety. |

| Working at heights |
| As part of our commitment to providing a safe working environment for our people, we identified and focused on the proper
and safe use of ladders – a common tool for our operations. |
| |
| During the year, besides reviewing our existing policy and procedures working at heights, we sent our people who need to
work with ladders to be retrained by MOM-approved service providers. We also provide adequate equipment and supervision
by implementing a safe working system that aims to prevent our people and their working tools from falling off ladders. |
| |
| We bought new ladders with adjustable height specifically for use in stairwells where most of our telephone cable boxes
are located. The ladders in all the Main Distribution Frame rooms have also been changed out to those designed and stamp-approved
with better safety features. |
