Safety Performance
Figure 3: Number of Incidents in A-REIT’s Properties
In FY14/15, there was an overall improvement in the safety
performance of A-REIT’s properties. The total number of
reported incidents across the Manager’s employees, Property
Manager’s contractors, property tenants and visitors had fallen
by half from 13 in FY13/14 to 6 in FY14/15. Two incidents
concerned the slip and fall of employees. One accident involved
a worker from the Property Manager’s main contractors falling
from height. The remaining three incidents were slip and fall
cases of tenants’ employees and a member of the public in the
common areas. The most common cause of slip and fall was
from obstruction and wet surfaces. The Property Manager has
implemented measures to address the root cause by working
with the contractors to put up proper signage and demarcate
work areas through the use of barricades.
Employee and Tenant Health and Well-being
The Property Manager is equipped and prepared to deal
with public health situations posed by dengue mosquitoes,
the seasonal haze and flu pandemics. Standard operating
procedures include, among others, carrying out pest control
activities regularly in all premises to prevent mosquito
breeding, conducting flu pandemic preparedness exercises,
and fitting air handling units with air filters and cleaning
them more frequently during escalated haze levels. Should
the public situation reach a hazardous level, the Property
Manager has to adhere to the instructions and advisory from
the local authorities.
Apart from managing occupational health issues, the Property
Manager also promotes healthy lifestyles among its tenants and
employees. In collaboration with the Health Promotion Board,
the Property Manager has launched the Healthy Workplace
Ecosystem in A-REIT’s Business & Science Parks, which will
integrate fitness amenities and activities within the work
environments, while progressively introducing healthier food
choices in the parks’ food and beverage operators.
A-REIT recently launched the OASIS Club Membership, an
exclusive membership programme for tenants. The Oasis, located
in Singapore Science Park I, is home to the OASIS Clubhouse
and features spaces for business and social interaction including
food and beverage destinations, an auditorium, meeting rooms,
and a fitness club spanning 12,000 square feet. The fitness club
includes a gym facility, swimming pool, dance studios and a spin
studio, among other facilities. Oasis Club members can enjoy
complimentary use of selected facilities, discounts at selected F&B
outlets in Oasis and privileges at events.
Security of Physical Properties
The Property Manager has implemented three levels of security
in all of A-REIT’s buildings to safeguard both properties and
people. This is listed in Figure 4 below:
Figure 4: A-REIT’s 3 Levels of Property Security
All security officers at A-REIT’s properties are outsourced to
certified vendors who conduct training for the guards before
they are deployed to the buildings. To-date, there have been no
reports of trespassing violations and incidences of theft.
