Safety Week 2019 – Safety First!

PSA’s Safety Week 2019, held from 15 to 21 January 2019, saw PSA Business Units (BUs) from all around the world organise a diverse range of on-site safety activities for colleagues, contractors and other external stakeholders to participate in. While the types of activities were varied, it was a common rallying call of “Everybody Makes a Difference!” for the cause of safety, that united the global PSA family.

Engagement and participation were high amongst colleagues across the PSA group! The PSA Safety Week activities globally featured messages from the Group CEO Tan Chong Meng, respective RCEOs and BU leaders emphasising the importance of working safely, as well as cross-functional walkabouts, skits performances and emergency exercises and drills. One main message stood out when it came to building a robust safety culture. This was the need to sharpen our safety instincts. One example given was to re-sensitise workers to the potential dangers around them by getting others to reappraise their workplace with fresh eyes, via cross-functional as well as cross-BU audits.

In the words of Group CEO Tan Chong Meng, there is more at stake than our own lives, as working safely is “not just for ourselves, or for our BUs, but for our family and loved ones most of all.”
