Welcome to another issue of HSE
Matters. Following feedback from
our readers, we have reviewed the
presentation of our newsletter to
make it more reader-friendly by
using more graphics. Just as our
safety journey is continuous, we
strive to improve our publication
along the way and look forward to
your suggestions.
At Keppel, we believe in walking
the safety talk. Therefore, as the
Group Safety Coordinator , I see
the need to walk the ground
to understand the issues our
colleagues face on a daily basis.
Having taken over since February,
I have visited various worksites in
Singapore as well as overseas and
look forward to more of such visits
over the next few months. In doing
so, I can better appreciate what
we have in place from a Safety
Management perspective and
discuss with the InterSBU Safety
Committee on how we can better
improve on certain measures or

Committee for their feedback and

opportunity to meet some of our
readers and encourage you to share
your thoughts on safety as well.
While we have made good progress
for the first half of 2012, we must
maintain the impetus to ensure
that we continue as we have
started. We can make further
enhancements to our endeavours
by fully implementing our
individual business unit roadmaps
for the remainder of 2012.
Let me end by sending a reminder –
Safety is everyone’s business!

The Annual Safety Competition
at Keppel Logistics (Foshan) was
held on 26 May 2012 for the third
year running. Besides rewarding
and recognising employees for
Fun safety programme
their efforts in building safety
knowledge, it is also an interactive
way of promoting safety skills and
practices.
Dangerous chemicals leaked and
spilled over a large area at the
Senoko Waste-to-Energy plant
on 21 May 2012. Within minutes,
members of the Company
Emergency Response Team (CERT)
suited up in their chemical suits and
arrived at the incident location to
contain and clean up the spill safely
and efficiently.
This was the scene at the
Keppel Integrated Engineering
(KIE) chemical spillage drill which
was organised to ensure that
employees are able to respond
quickly to such situations when
they happen.
Chemical tankers visit the plant
regularly to top up chemicals like
sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric
acid used in the plant’s operations.
While there are safety measures
in place to minimise the chances
of spillage, such incidents can still
happen if valves are not properly

and disconnection process.
These chemicals pose very real
hazards if they are leaked or
spilled. Highly corrosive, these
chemicals can cause severe burns.
In a real emergency, any casualty
will need to be attended to
immediately, and brought to the
emergency eyewash and shower
area for decontamination.
The drill involved about 25 people
from the KIE management and
CERT teams.
The Company Emergency Response Team at Keppel Integrated Engineering moved swiftly to
contain the chemical spill
Employees from all levels shared
and exchanged ideas on how
they overcame challenges and the
innovative solutions that were
implemented to improve workplace
safety. They also demonstrated
their knowledge in the multiple
choice questions segment and
tested their wits through the quick-
response round of questions.
Participants went away with
heightened awareness of safety
skills and practices, all done in the
name of good fun and friendly
competition.Participants of the third Keppel Logistics (Foshan) Annual Safety Competition pit their wits against
each other to improve their safety knowledge

Electrical safety and fire safety are
two out of six High Impact Risk
Activities (HIRA) that Keppel Group
has identified as important across
all the business units.
A set of icons created to spread
awareness on these activities have
Timely reminders
been put on posters and displayed
prominently at the workplaces
to remind all workers to be extra
vigilant.
Across the Group, business units
have put in place added procedures
and initiatives to emphasise the
importance of fire safety and
electrical safety to employees
and workers.
HSEMATTERS highlights some of
these efforts here.

As a responsible property developer,
Keppel Land seeks to instill a safe
and healthy work environment at
all its project sites in Singapore
and overseas.
To upkeep its efforts, John Birchall,
Keppel Land’s Director of Safety
and Health, visited the project sites
at the Tanah Sutera Development
in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, on
28 March 2012. This was a follow-up
visit from an earlier trip made in
September 2011 to find out the
progress of the enhanced safety
management of the worksites.
Demonstrating its commitment
to improve the safety standards
of its Malaysian partners and the
worksites’ condition, Keppel Land’s
Management Safety Committee
also visited these sites on 25 May
2012. They had a fruitful exchange
of views and suggestions on how to
improve safety management.
Meaningful exchanges
Regular exchanges between Keppel Land and its contractors ensure that measures are in place to
provide workers a safe workplace
To help employees keep a healthy
lifestyle, several disease prevention
and health promotion activities
were held across the Group in
May 2012.
Employees at Keppel Shipyard
learnt how to keep colorectal
cancer at bay through a talk by
Dr Ho Kok Sun, Consultant Surgeon
at Novena Colorectal Centre. The
employees also participated in a
free health screening. They checked
their blood pressure levels, blood
sugar levels, visceral fat levels as
well as Body Mass Indexes to get

a snapshot of their physical health
condition.
Also, employees of Keppel
Corporation and Keppel FMO went
through an eye screening session
for glaucoma, a multi-factorial,
complex eye disease.
A range of wellness initiatives help Keppelites keep diseases at bay
