Occupational Health and Safety CLAR’s Impact CLAR acknowledges the importance of its stakeholders’ health and safety, encompassing employees, supply chain partners, tenants, and visitors on its properties. By prioritising stakeholder well-being, CLAR demonstrates its dedication to cultivating a safe and productive environment for everyone connected to its operations. This emphasis on Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) not only safeguard stakeholders from potential harm but also contributes to CLAR's reputation, productivity, and longterm sustainability. How CLAR Manages its Impact Comprehensive OHS approach has been instrumental in driving operational excellence and fostering a positive work environment. These achievements are fundamental to CLAR’s goal of attaining sustainable business success. Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) CLAR prioritises safety by implementing the ISO 45001 OHSMS as part of CLI’s broader EHSMS. This framework allows CLAR to proactively manage risks and enhance OHS performance more holistically. CLAR’s Singapore Property Manager is certified to ISO 45001 standards and is part of the Business Park and Industrial (BP&I) Safety Committee which reviews OHS processes and considers recommendations for safety enhancements. To ensure continual compliance with ISO 45001, audits are carried out annually by both internal and external accredited third-party auditors for CLAR’s owned and managed properties. Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) Prior to property acquisitions and development, ESIA is conducted to assess the environmental performance and social consideration of individual development and property against CLI 2030 SMP targets, including the evaluation of OHS risks. This is a key component of the feasibility study, due diligence and project planning process. Significant findings and their associated costs are captured in the proposal submitted for approval. Conducting ESIA upfront enables CLAR to proactively identify and mitigate OHS risks before the investment commitment. CLI Global Safety Guidelines (GSG) CLAR adheres to the CLI GSG to maintain a consistent safety standard across its global portfolio. The GSG provides clear guidance to property management teams on CLI’s safety expectations. This global guidance is particularly important given the varying safety regulations across different countries. Where local regulations and the CLI GSG differs, CLAR properties are required to comply with more stringent of the two. Hazard Identification and Risk Assessments (HIRA) The discipline of HIRA plays a crucial role in CLAR’s proactive risk management strategy. By integrating HIRA into its business practices, CLAR commits to the principle of incident prevention, aligning itself with responsible and ethical business operations. Design for Safety (DfS) DfS is integral to all CLAR development projects and AEIs, required under CLI’s SBG and the GSG. By adopting DfS principles, CLAR eliminates safety risks early during building design or AEI, ensuring a safer working environment for all. iSafe Digital App CLAR leverages digitalisation to extend its safety reach across its global portfolio. Through the CLI iSafe digital app, safety observations and enhancements for CLAR's Singapore properties can be reported via mobile devices. The app will be progressively rolled out to other countries where CLAR operates. It also enables all CLI staff, beyond CLAR employees, to contribute safety observations and enhancements.
