| Be safe at work! |
At Singtel, we believe that all injuries can be avoided and every accident can be prevented.
We have programmes in place to reduce these risks. For example, our WSH team, together with the relevant departments, conducts monthly surveys at sites that house our telecommunications equipment to detect and eliminate potential hazards.
Picture A shows a typical case where our people and contractors needed to climb over the parapet wall to carry out maintenance. To prevent the risk of falling off the edge, we have relocated the equipment to a more ergonomic height so that workers can carry out maintenance work very safely behind the parapet wall without the need to climb over it (see Picture B). |
