Health & Safety Policy

1. Introduction 
  1.1  Our business objectives should never be allowed to compromise safety. We believe that all incidents are preventable. As a developer, owner and manager of residential, hotels and mixed-use commercial properties, Swire Properties Limited (the “Company”) is committed to providing and maintaining a healthy and safe environment for all employees, tenants, customers, contractors and members of our communities during their association with the Company.
  1.2  While all operations involve risk, we aim to achieve the ultimate goal of zero harm through demonstrating solid leadership and effective management of Occupational Health and Safety (“OHS”) in the design, planning and conduct of all business activities. In our operations our priority is to safeguard the health and safety of all stakeholders. 
2. Scope of application 
  2.1  This Policy (the “Policy”) applies to all operations in which the Company holds an operating controlling interest. Associated and joint ventures companies are encouraged to follow this Policy, as are our business partners and suppliers.
3. Policy Statement / Principles 
  3.1  Provide adequate and appropriate resources to promote and foster a strong and Just Safety Culture in which OHS concerns, hazards, incidents and honest mistakes are raised and addressed in a fair and constructive manner, without fear of reprisals, while misconduct and willful undertaking of unsafe acts will remain subject to appropriate action.

  3.6 Require that contractors demonstrate the same commitment in health and safety as the Company. 
  3.7 Conduct regular safety inspections and audits with a view to proactively identifying unsafe practices or deficiencies and to investigate incidents to understand the contributing factors and root cause so that we learn, improve, and share to prevent recurrence.
  3.8 Understand and support, where necessary, the mental wellbeing of our employees by providing specialist support and assistance via the Employee Assistance Programme.
