Oversight and Responsibilities Our human resources departments are responsible for managing impacts related to health, safety and well-being, with ultimate oversight by the executive vice president and chief financial officer. We maintain cultures that ensure personal safety and promote health and wellbeing at our properties and offices by providing tools, equipment and training. Each property has a worker safety and health committee that meets regularly and facilitates cooperation between management and Team Members to maintain safe and healthy working conditions. Team Members are responsible for contributing to a safe work environment by following practices and protocols and notifying management of health and safety issues. Policies • Occupational safety and health policies Targets and Commitments We ensure our Team Members and guests are safe when on our properties by striving to prevent accidents and illnesses and promoting healthy lifestyles. We also provide Team Members with the skills and knowledge to carry out their work in a safe and responsible manner. We are committed to meeting all legal requirements and driving continual improvement on health and safety targets. Our occupational safety and health (OSH) management systems are certified to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 45001:2018 standard. Sands China’s ISO certification includes the food and beverage, procurement and supply chain, housekeeping, security, facilities, and slot and table games departments. Marina Bay Sands’ ISO certification includes hotel operations, food and beverage, retail services, and MICE departments. Strategy Our properties maintain occupational safety and health management systems that ensure compliance with all public health and environmental laws pertaining to our operations and incorporate safety into company policies, daily operations and communications. A variety of techniques are employed to support OSH, including ISO certification, kaizen systems, experience sharing, continual education and management involvement. Additionally, we integrate workforce safety and health considerations into our business activities, and work with suppliers and contractors to incorporate health and safety considerations into their practices to enhance performance. Risk assessment methodology is used to identify work-related hazards, assess potential issues and prioritize action plans. Hazard identification is performed for each work activity using classifications in a 5x5 risk matrix. A risk assessment process evaluates existing control measures to manage risks for identified hazards. If the risk level is high, control actions are implemented. Reports from previous incidents are reviewed, and meetings are held periodically with medical service providers to discuss trends and best practices. OSH wardens within departments uncover potential risks, recommend solutions to prevent risks or recurring incidents, review action plans and adapt plans to new challenges. They also promote safety awareness to prevent incidents in the workplace and help departments establish behaviors for a safer working environment. Additionally, each property maintains an emergency response plan, incident response team, incident management system, and protective action plan for preventing as well as managing emergences that relate primarily to life safety and physical security incidents. Training and Communications Safety committees provide information about health and safety strategies, practices and policies; discuss pertinent safety issues and solutions; and assist departments with training. They provide an open forum in which Team Members may participate. Safety committees generally meet monthly or annually at a minimum. Team Members attend various OSH training sessions covering general and department-specific health and safety topics to improve awareness. Field-specific OSH accreditations and safety warden training ensure departments and supervisors maintain applicable standards and practices. In addition, Team Members in ISO-certified departments are trained periodically on OSH concepts. OSH roadshows provide additional forums to promote health and safety among Team Members. Through these forums and open dialogue, Team Members are encouraged to provide feedback to management teams and human resources regarding occupational health and safety protocols, practices, procedures and processes. In addition, they can bring safety-related concerns and questions to workplace safety and health steering committee meetings or reach out to safety departments directly. Evaluation and Adjustments We aim to continually improve our performance by tracking key metrics, setting internal targets and utilizing a risk-based approach. To monitor safety efforts, we periodically audit, inspect and review departments for compliance with our health and safety policies and procedures. We investigate significant incidents that occur and review company procedures to prevent and respond to these events. MANAGEMENT APPROACH HEALTH , SAFET Y AND WEL L- BE I NG 2022 ESG REPORT 74
