SAFETY AND HEALTH COMMITTEES Represented by senior executives and frontline supervisors Oversee safety risk management of HPH Trust Meet on a monthly basis to review on-site safety and health risks, safety measures and performance across business units HPH Trust consistently assesses potential health and safety risks associated with port operations to minimise their impact on staff, external contractors, and port users. The Trust has established emergency response and business continuity plans along with clear guidelines to facilitate a swift and safe resumption of terminal operations in the event of an emergency or disaster. In the event of an incident, a Crisis Management Team is assembled to handle the situation and restore operations safely and efficiently. This team follows the HPH Trust BCM System, aligned with ISO 22301 standards, which outlines specific response and recovery actions under different scenarios. At the operational level, department and section managers are responsible for developing risk assessment programmes for both regular and non-routine activities. The S&S departments at HIT and YANTIAN provide necessary support and guidance. Additionally, the Trust seeks expert input from local university professors for more detailed or high-impact risk assessments. At HIT, risk assessments are conducted in accordance with the guidebook from the Hong Kong Labour Department, ISO 45001 requirements, and other relevant standards. Following these assessments, appropriate risk control measures are implemented and monitored. YANTIAN has in place a Product Safety Accident Emergency Plan, which coordinates the company’s response procedures under various emergency situations and delineates the emergency responsibilities of personnel across all levels and departments. The plan includes a comprehensive main plan, eight specialised contingency plans, and 19 site-specific plans. Moreover, YANTIAN’s Labour Protection Equipment Management System ensures compliance with local laws and regulations regarding the provision of safety equipment for workers, protecting them from physical, chemical, biological, and noise hazards, as well as falls from heights. Additionally, YANTIAN has established a safety inspection and potential hazard investigation and management system that covers all employees and processes and operates 24/7 to enable real-time safety control. During the reporting year, there were no reported incidents of non-compliance concerning the health and safety impacts of products and services. HPH Trust aims to maintain its record of zero reported cases of non-compliance in the coming year as well as the medium- and long-term.
