In AboitizPower (AP), we are committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment for our team members and partners. We fulfill this commitment by identifying the hazards associated with our operations, processes and workspaces, assessing the risks and putting up measures to address them. To deliver on our mission, safety remains a top priority and it is everyone’s responsibility.
With safety in mind, we will pursue continuous improvement in our occupational safety and health practices, and provide our people and partners with the knowledge and skills through training or workshops, as well as tools and measures to further eliminate our occupational safety and health risks and hazards. AboitizPower prides itself in its year-on-year overall reduction of “Total Recordable Incident Rate” (TRIR), which is one of the key measures of our safety performance.
The coverage of the company’s OSH management includes activities of both organic and contracted personnel. Contractors are covered by virtue of AP’s “prevailing influence”. “Prevailing Influence” is considered to be in place when contractor employees are required to adhere to safety rules and regulations laid down by AboitizPower or to use methods, processes, or other techniques provided by the company. A reportable contractor is when AboitizPower exerts a prevailing influence with regard to safety management practices.
In 2021, the company accounts for its LTIFR and TRIR performance of its 2,954 organic employees and 4,297 contractors. See notes on transparency. There are 703 team members who are part of the Health & Safety Committee of the company. Each reporting operational site has at least one Health and Safety member.
A total of 2,770 organic employees have completed the 8-Hour Mandatory Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Training for Workers in 2021. The training is required by the Department of Labor and Employment in pursuant to the Republic Act No. 11058 “AN ACT STRENGTHENING COMPLIANCE TO OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARDS AND PROVIDING PENALTIES.” Moreover, as part of its ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety Certification and ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems Certification, the company ensures that there are programs in place for employees across all business units to have sufficient training and knowledge.
Notes for data transparency:

An LTI is when the employee was not able to perform any regular job, restricted work or report for work on any day after the injury was received.

AboitizPower, headed by its Legal team, formalized its efforts to promote and raise awareness on diversity and inclusion within the company starting in 2019.
AboitizPower’s Diversity and Inclusion campaign is focused on communicating the primacy of merit above gender or sexual preference, age, religion, or ethnic background. It is aimed at raising awareness on diversity and inclusion, promoting respect and celebrating individuality, all while practicing the culture of excellence and high performance.
