THE HIGHLIGHTS

As part of the Total WSH Programme, HSB partnered with Fullerton Health and the WSH Council to organize a series of Health Coaching sessions aimed at strengthening our worker well-being. These sessions are led by doctors and nutritionists, focused on guiding workers to develop healthier lifestyles, and serves as a follow-up to the earlier health screenings. Our workers got a copy of their health test results and received practical advice on managing chronic conditions, improving nutrition, increasing physical activity, and adopting long term healthy habits. They were also encouraged to take proactive ownership of their well-being so they can stay strong, attentive, and safe on the job each day. Understanding chronic diseases and their impact on construction work is especially important. Work on site is physically demanding, requires focus, and often involves operating heavy machinery, tools, and working at heights. 

Chronic diseases can directly affect a worker’s ability to perform safely and productively, both directly and indirectly. 

On site, we take proactive measures to safeguard workers with chronic conditions. For example, workers with high blood pressure are monitored daily before starting their tasks to ensure they are fit for work. In addition, we assign less strenuous tasks to ensure their safety while maintaining productivity. At HSB, we believe health and safety go hand in hand. By empowering workers to understand and manage their health conditions, and by encouraging open communication where workers can feel safe to voice their concerns, we continue to prioritize both well-being and safety as the foundation of our work.
