28 April marks the United Nations World Day for Safety and Health at Work, a global reminder of the importance of creating safe, healthy and supportive workplaces for everyone.
What do we do to keep our colleagues safe?
Across AS Watson, 10 Business Units have implemented automation solutions in our warehouses to drive operational efficiency, such as in Kruidvat, Watsons China, Watsons Thailand, and PARKnSHOP. As automation becomes an integral part of our operations, we have strengthened safety measures to better protect our colleagues.
Perimeter fencing has been installed to clearly separate Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and automated system areas from staff working zones, helping to reduce the risk of workplace incidents.
What do we do to supports colleagues’ wellbeing?
Work and break arrangements have been adjusted, with more frequent breaks introduced to help reduce muscle fatigue from repetitive or static tasks.
These measures reflect our ongoing commitment to providing a safer, healthier, and more supportive working environment as our warehouses continue to evolve.
