Occupational Health, Safety, and Workplace Environment

AIS is committed to targets to reduce accidents and injuries occurring at the workplace. AIS prioritizes business operations to be guided by the principles of occupational health, safety, and the workplace environment. Alongside this, AIS promotes safety awareness among its employees, suppliers, contractors, and stakeholders at every level of AIS’ operations.

Target

Zero workplace accidents or injuries

Every employee and contractor are received occupational health, safety, and environmental training at the workplace appropriate to the extant level of risk

Management Approach

AIS has established a Safety, Occupational Health, and Working Environment Policy, with regular reviews and improvements aligning with both national and international legal standards. The company's strategic direction is guided by top management, while the Safety, Health and Environment Unit (SHE), Safety Working Team, and Safety Committee are responsible for driving policies to ensure effective implementation of occupational health and safety measures across the organization. External audits are conducted to verify compliance with safety measures, ensuring adherence to internationally recognized standards.

Furthermore, the company is committed to cultivating a culture of safety through mandatory training for all employees and contractors before starting work. Regular communication on safety, occupational health, and workplace environment awareness is provided to all employees. Additionally, AIS has implemented mechanisms for incident response, investigation, and continuous improvement to enhance the safety and health of employees effectively.

Risk Assessment

AIS is aware of the significance of assessing workplace risk to reduce potential accidents and injuries, by conducting the following process:

Occupational Health and Safety Culture and Standard

AIS considers safety awareness for employees and stakeholders as its top priority, and therefore prioritizes strict compliance with the organization’s Safety Culture, which is in line with the relevant health, safety, and environmental policies and other pertinent regulations.

For communications, executives support instilling a consciousness of health, safety, and the environment in the workplace, covering safety training and intercommunication between functions concerned with Safety, Health, and the Environment (SHE), the workforce (both employees and contractors).

We also conduct regular audits of workplace premises, as well as hire external auditors to additionally inspect compliance of AIS and its contractors above legal stipulations, to ensure that health and safety measures are applied efficiently to strict international standards, and according to the principles of human rights for every group of stakeholders.
