WISE Construction Group Holdings Ltd. – Health & Safety (H&S) Assurance Framework

WISE Construction Group Holdings Ltd. prioritizes zero harm to workers, communities, and the environment by implementing robust health and safety policies, preventive measures, and emergency response systems—complying with international standards (OSHA, ISO 45001, ILO-OSH).

1. Health & Safety Policy & Commitments

✅ Zero Fatalities & Serious Injuries – Strict enforcement of "Life-Saving Rules."
✅ Global Compliance – Meets/exceeds OSHA (US), HSE (UK), EU Directive 89/391/EEC, China’s Work Safety Law.
✅ Worker-Centric Approach – Mandatory safety training, mental health support (WHO guidelines), and PPE provision.

2. Core H&S Management System (Aligned with ISO 45001)

A. Risk Prevention & Controls

🔹 Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment (HIRA) – AI-powered predictive analytics for high-risk tasks (e.g., scaffolding, heavy lifting).
🔹 PPE & Safety Gear – EN/ANSI-certified helmets, harnesses, masks, and fall arrest systems for at-height work.
🔹 Machine & Equipment Safety – Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), regular inspections (third-party audited).

B. Occupational Health Programs

🏥 On-Site Medical Clinics – For urgent care in remote projects (e.g., tunnel construction in GCC).
💉 Vaccination & Health Screenings – Mandatory TB, silicosis, COVID-19 tests for workers in high-dust zones.
🧠 Mental Health Support – 24/7 counseling hotlines (partnering with Mind HK, ICAS).

C. Emergency Response Preparedness

🚨 Evacuation Drills – Quarterly fire, collapse, and chemical spill simulations.
🚑 First Aid & Trauma Kits – Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), bleeding control stations.
📞 Dedicated Emergency Hotline – Direct link to on-site safety officers & local hospitals.

3. Worker Training & Empowerment

📚 Safety Induction – Mandatory for all new hires (including subcontractors).
🔄 Continuous Learning – VR-based hazard simulations, behavior-based safety (BBS) coaching.
📢 Worker Engagement – H&S committees with elected worker reps.

4. Digital & AI Innovations for Safety

🤖 Wearable Tech – Smart helmets (fatigue detection), GPS trackers (lone worker protection).
📊 AI-Powered Monitoring – Computer vision to detect unsafe acts (no harness, improper lifting).
📈 Real-Time Dashboards – Safety KPI tracking (TRIR, LTIFR) visible to all stakeholders.

5. Third-Party Audits & Transparency

🔍 Annual H&S Audits – Conducted by Lloyd’s Register, Bureau Veritas.
📑 Public Reporting – Disclose injury rates, near-misses, corrective actions in ESG reports.
⚖️ Accountability – Project managers penalized for H&S violations.

6. Global Safety Partnerships

🤝 ILO SafeBuild – Adopted global construction safety benchmarks.
🤝 World Green Building Council – Promotes “Vision Zero” fatalities.
🤝 Global Cement & Concrete Association (GCCA) – Reduces silica dust exposure risks.

7. Next Steps to Enhance Safety

✔ AI-powered near-miss reporting app for workers.
✔ Tie executive bonuses to safety KPIs (Lagging & Leading Indicators).
✔ Expand mental health programs (anti-burnout, financial wellness support).

Would WISE benefit from a site-specific safety gap analysis? We can identify high-risk areas (e.g., confined spaces, crane ops) and optimize preventive controls. Let’s build safer. 🏗️🛡️
