Safety Risk Management
We manage and mitigate safety risks by identifying possible hazards and undertaking a thorough risk assessment, supported by job safety analysis and a work permit system.
Hazard assessment
- We have implemented Behavioural Based Safety (BBS), Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA), and electrical safety management systems at MLL. These help us identify the potential for incidents and help us take steps as proactive approach to mitigate the risks
- A safety dashboard helps us keep tabs on key statistics regarding our safety performance and major risk parameters
Job safety analysis
- We conduct job safety audits across our logistics verticals on a periodic basis
- Our personal protective equipment, contractor management and transportation safety initiatives follow the Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) approach, enhancing the levels of security and accountability within the system
Permit to work
- Under permit-to-work (PTW) system, we ensure tighter controls over tasks assigned and carried out by our frontline workers, ensuring better safety performance.
Safety Assurance
Our Incident Management Team (IMT) at the regional and national level closely monitors incidents and suggests mitigative steps to be implemented at our sites across the country. We continue to enhance our safety performance and culture by creating various chains of command and teams across the organisation.
Safety Promotion
We make sure to proactively promote our culture of safety by keeping it top of the mind of our people, especially frontline workers, through initiatives like training, certifications, internal awareness campaigns, and more.
- We have created an Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) fire safety training module.
- We have also developed competency training programmes like defensive driver training, first aid, firefighting, emergency preparedness and forklift driving to train our people.
- Our activities include various digital initiatives to enhance safety, using AR/VR technology, for instance M-Safe and BI Dashboard for safety lead and lag indicators reporting; AR/VR Safety training modules like Fire safety, Electrical safety, and Material Handling Equipment (MHE’s) Safety Training Module for awareness and basic knowledge on Fire safety, electrical safety and Forklift safety and material handling safety respectively
