With the ongoing spread of the pandemic virus, COVID-19 has been identified as a potential threat that could impact the health of WHA Group employees, contractors, or those exposed to such risks in 2021. As a result, good OHS practices are especially important during pandemics. Because of the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus, employees and workers within WHA Group estates and workplaces are at a high risk of infection. Similarly, it is critical for the WHA Group to take appropriate actions and precautions in response to the virus’s risk. WHA Group has established a COVID-19 Procedure that prescribes precautionary practices in accordance with the Ministry of Public Health’s regulatory requirements. This includes regular alcohol sanitization of facilities, body temperature checks, and the recording of personal data upon entry to workplaces, among other things. Furthermore, all employees were kept up to date on any COVID-19-related news via internal SharePoint and emails.

In 2021, WHA Group also implemented the Bubble and Seal measure in accordance with the government’s goal of protecting industrial plant workers and surrounding communities from COVID-19 infections.
