Management Approach

At Alliance, safety is our top priority, surpassing all other business needs. We believe that all incidents are preventable and should be prevented, and everyone should return home safely each day. Our safety performance has reached a mature and advanced level but had plateaued a few years ago, indicating the need for innovative strategies to enhance our safety measures and achieve higher standards. We are enhancing workplace safety through visible felt leadership, dynamic risk assessments, and the use of digital tools, ensuring a safer and more resilient work environment.


Throughout the years, the health & safety performance of Alliance had continually improved and reflected on the low number of incident occurrences. For the last 3 years, there have been zero direct employee fatality incidents and lost time injury incidents. The number of non-lost time injury incidents also declined over the years.

On the other hand, the HSE climate survey results also reflected areas that remain challenging, including the quality of work environment, process control to improve safety assurance, and improvement of safety mindsets and behaviors at frontline level. Recognizing these challenges, our commitment to safety continues to push us to innovate further on our safety journey.

The ambition to safeguard every worker by creating zero harm workplace is demonstrated through our health & safety programs, which aim to exceed regulatory compliance and beyond. We employ "Safety by Design", integrating safety from the project's inception, and "Safety by Technology", using advanced tools for risk management. We also strongly encourage employee participation, fostering a culture where everyone actively contributes to safety enhancements, from reporting health & safety hazards to participating in committee meetings, and take part in workplace standard enhancement projects.

Health & Safety Program 2023-2024

Throughout this reporting period, we have strategically rolled out a series of Health & Safety programs designed to enhance our safety culture. These programs not only engage our workforce in proactive hazard identification but also recognize and celebrate their commitment to maintaining a safe working environment.

Safety Stand Down by Senior Management

Personally conducted by senior management and functional managers, Safety Stand Down had been conducted at all work sites to communicate recent fatal incidents that occurred overseas under parent company and cascaded the alerts and key messages to all line managers and site operatives.


The possible causes and lessons learned for each incident had been discussed; key messages and cardinal rules for H&S Directive issued had also been reiterated; all line managers had been urged to demonstrate their visible - felt leadership to drive positive safety culture and encouraged all operatives to establish themselves as role models to influence each other to create positive impact on safety culture.

Active Reporting Through "SMART" (Team Alliance App)

To achieve a zero-harm workplace, it's crucial for all staff to actively report HSE hazards. This practice allows timely detection and correction of unsafe conditions. The traditional method of reporting via paper is cumbersome and often ineffective due to its tedious process. To address this, an in-house app "SMART" was launched in 2024, providing a simple, straight-forward platform for everyone to report hazards and for leaders to record safety conversations carried out. Since its launch in May 2024, there has been a significant increase in engagement, with over 800 cases reported and 500 safety conversations conducted.

Annual HSE Award Scheme

Annual HSE Award Scheme was rolled out in 2024 to promote HSE culture of individual workers and teams. It helps reinforce safety leadership of line management and active participation by staff in terms of actively reporting HSE hazards, offering improvement ideas, safety conversations, timely execution of improvement actions, and improving HSE compliance status and standards.


This award scheme features monthly, quarterly, and annual rewards to incentivize employees to report hazards and near misses. It also acknowledges and motivates site leaders who demonstrate visible-felt leadership through conducting safety conversations and promptly addressing issues to improve workplace safety.


To recognize the dedication and efforts in preventing incidents on each work site, an incident-free days badge is displayed as a physical emblem and a reminder of the collective responsibility of all staff on site.

Safety By Design and Safety By Technology

Incorporating safety into all business decisions, safety features are embedded into our operational processes and equipment hardware from the design and planning stages. The maturity of digital solutions also presents opportunities to address safety challenges in more effective and efficient ways.


Safety by design refers to the strategy where safety considerations are integrated into the initial stages of workplace planning. This approach ensures that hazards are identified and mitigated before they can pose any risk. By embedding safety features into operation of systems, equipment, or facilities, the aim is to prevent accidents proactively.

Robust fall arrest system equipped at all cat ladders to ensure working at height safety.

Safe working platforms specifically designed to assist drivers with truck cleaning.

Automated cleaning of conveyor belts to reduce manual labor and risk exposure.

Access safety embedded at design stage to prevent slips and falls at plant accesses.

Safety by technology leverages advancements in technology to enhance safety controls within workplaces. This includes the deployment of sensors, wearables, and loT devices to monitor environmental and personal health conditions. Technologies like Al and machine learning can predict potential safety hazards by analyzing patterns in data, allowing for preemptive action. Additionally, automation and robotics can handle dangerous tasks, reducing human exposure to risk and making safety management more efficient and less prone to human error.
