Ambition
The Board of Directors prioritizes operation safety above all else in the matter of governance. We are acutely aware that that work safety is a critical aspect of human rights that must be ensured in every level of operation and governance, with everyone accountable including supervisors, Executives, and Directors, as well as employees, other stakeholders, and members of the communities surrounding the operation areas.
At SCCC Group, we are dedicated to fostering a culture of safety and well-being across its operations. The Company’s overarching goal is to achieve "Zero Harm", prioritizing the safety of its employees and stakeholders

Safety Governance Structure
In 2020, the Board of Directors considered and approved 5 sustainability targets of the Group, which are to be met by 2030. Operation health and safety is one critical matter that is part of such targets. The Board of Directors also approved implementation of key performance indicators (KPI) that reflects this aspiration, including targeting zero harm in all operations across the Group. The Group Chief Executive Officer, who also acts as the Executive Director, is charged by the Board with establishing the Group safety working group, with a senior safety officer acting as the secretary, with roles and responsibilities of the working group clearly defined in its charter. Safety matter is also a standing agenda in the Audit Committee, as part of the Compliance Dashboard reporting, which tracks compliance status across the Group, with the Dashboard being reviewed and submitted to every Group Board of Directors’ meeting. Critical safety incidents are also reported to the Board of Directors, in a Board meeting immediately after one such incident.
Our Approach to Safety Management
Safety, health, and work environment are critical to all business operations across the Group, and even more so for those involving operation in the plants and mining quarries, as there are higher risks to the lives and health of employees, families of employees, and members of the local communities. This is also directly reflected in our operation and public reputation, which impacts the trust of our clients, and that of the public at large.
The Group is committed to creating an environment for all employees where there is joy in work, allowing our employees to be productive and creative, able to deliver value in a sustainable manner. As such, compliance to the ISO 45001:2018 and the Occupational Health and Safety Act B.E. 2554 is mandatory group-wide, with work emvironment meticulously managed, prioritizing safety in all aspects. We also work to elevate the quality of life of our employees as well as that of their family, and are committed to provide and aid and compensation required in case of the unexpected. The Company designs all workplans with safety risk assessment being a core part of the process.
SCCC conducts regular and systematic health and safety risk assessments across all existing operations and ongoing projects. These comprehensive assessments cover routine and non-routine activities, machinery operations, vehicle movements, and contractor-managed tasks to identify workplace hazards and implement appropriate engineering or procedural controls. Furthermore, these risk assessments are continuously reviewed in consultation with the safety committee and workforce representatives to ensure that mitigation measures remain effective and adapted to changing operational conditions.
Our process is as outlined below.
- Risk assessment: We assess the severity and likelihood of potential hazards to prioritize risks appropriately. This covers all operation areas and activities, and the assessment is used as part of the workplan to reduce and control safety risks.
- Hazard identification: We collect data relating to possible hazards from equipment, materials, work processes, or the environment and use this data to design safety rules enforced across all employees and contractors.
- Risk control: We design and implement measures to control and eliminate risks as they are identified, as well aws develop safety systems, provide training to supervisors on our safety system, and require regular inspection of equipment and tools before entering work areas.
- Monitoring and review: Control measures are consistently monitored and reported to the safety committee and the Group Executive Committee on a monthly basis, with workplans to reduce the number of incidents to 0 and workplans in case of the unexpected proposed.
Performance and Outlook
Incident Investigation and Corrective Actions
In response to the findings of its incident investigations, SCCC implemented a Driving Monitoring System (DMS) and a Contractor Safety Management System, and assigned accountable owners and target completion dates for all actions. Action closure was monitored through the OH&S reporting system, and as of December 2025, 100% of the actions had been completed. Lessons learned were communicated through Safety Alerts and Key Learnings across relevant operations to prevent recurrence, and were integrated into updated risk assessments and procedures or work instructions. Incident information is disclosed on an aggregated and anonymised basis to protect personal information.
During 2025, SCCC investigated all reported recordable occupational health and safety incidents through its documented root-cause investigation process. The investigations identified principal immediate and underlying causes, including a lack of risk assessment, improper methods and techniques, unsafe design and engineering, and unsafe behaviors—predominantly related to vehicles, mobile equipment, and contractors.

Important Projects
- Digital Transformation:The Group has adopted the use of QR code system for equipment inspection, which helps with efficiency and accuracy, which promotes data-driven decision making in the maintenance planning process, and helps in timely and transparent inspection of equipment and health and safety operation.
- Road Safety:The Group has initiated campaigns to promote road safety for roads in the Group’s premises, to raise awareness of safe and responsible driving for our employees during or outside of work hours.
- Collaborative safety:The Company conducts regular inter-organizational audits and promotes peer support to help drive our culture of improvement, and encourage mutual learning among Group Companies.
- Mental and physical health of employees:The Group sees the importance of health, quality of life, and safety of all stakeholders, including all of our employees, contractors, and members of the surrounding communities, as well as our business allies. We have initiated various health promotion activities, such as the INSEE We’re Strong program, which promotes the well-being of mental and physical health to reduce risks of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, and communicable diseases such as flu, tuberculosis, hepatitis, and COVID-19. In addition, the Company has also initiated various health promotion activities and provide health and financial knowledge to our employees and members of the communities.
- Preventive Health Screening and Community Health Outreach: In 2025, 100% of employees underwent annual health check-ups, including Chest X-rays, for preliminary screening, anomaly detection, and the surveillance of infectious diseases such as pulmonary tuberculosis. Furthermore, SCCC requires all regular contractors to undergo statutory medical examinations—including pre-employment Chest X-rays tailored to workplace risk factors—before commencing work. In cases where abnormalities are detected, the company has established protocols to refer individuals into the social security system or the national health security scheme to ensure continuous medical treatment. Additionally, SCCC extended its health commitments through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, deploying medical professionals to high-risk communities surrounding our operations to provide health education, preliminary health screenings, and Chest X-rays for local residents.
- Health Promotion and Vector-Borne Disease Control: SCCC implements proactive health and disease prevention programmes targeting vector-borne diseases—such as dengue fever and malaria—within employee accommodation areas and surrounding zones. These initiatives include regular mosquito fogging and chemical spraying to break disease transmission cycles, complemented by health awareness campaigns that educate employees on personal protection and vector breeding site management, thereby safeguarding the health and well-being of our workforce and local communities.
Strategy
To achieve this ambition there are necessary key focus areas for SCCC Group as follows,
Build a sustainable safety culture
Foster safety awareness as an integral part of daily operations at all organizational levels.
Ensure continuous safety communication
Communicate safety policies and practices clearly and consistently across the organization
Enhance safety standards and practices
Implement effective OH&S standards with regular monitoring and continuous improvement.

Safety Employee Engagement
Our employees are the main driving force of our organization, and as such the Group focuses on effective human resource management, which includes effective management of employee benefits and arrangement for suitable work environment, all of which reinforce the efficiency of our business operations and reflect our commitments, as well as positively affect the morale of our employees. To this end, we have established a framework to ensure that safety, health, and environmental international standards are consistently met, and that measures to prevent work-relaited accidents, injuries, and sickness are in place, in addition to fostering a work environment that is conducive of good mental and physical health of all of our employees.
The Group has been certified by international accreditation organizations for our health and safety operation, and we are ever committed to improving our work on these dimensions consistently to exceed international standards be they on the quality, environmental conservation, or operation health and safety fronts. We are committed to proactively prevent any health concerns among our employees through improvement of the work environment, supplying any equipment required for safe and effective safety compliance among our employees.
To ensure health and safety compliance on all levels, the Group also encourages employee participation in constantly improving the system, with monthly health, safety, and work environment meetings where employee representatives discuss with Management and review the safety situation, as well as brainstorming possible solutions, with minutes of the meetings reported to the Group Executive Committee and the Board of Directors. These discussions are an important mechanism in fostering the culture of safety and participation among all of our employees.
SCCC actively promotes employee involvement in health and safety (H&S) improvements through participative initiatives, most notably via the Occupational Safety, Health, and Environment Committee. Comprising representatives from both management and employees who hold regular monthly meetings, the committee serves as a key platform for collaborative decision-making. Employee representatives actively participate in safety walkthroughs, risk assessments, the co-creation of preventive controls (such as vehicle safety and contractor management protocols), and the promotion of safety campaigns across operations, ensuring that workforce insights directly drive our safety culture and performance.
SCCC promotes employee involvement in health and safety (H&S) improvements through regular management discussions with elected worker representatives in the Occupational Safety, Health, and Environment Committees at its operating sites, such as the Saraburi operations and the head office, which hold formal monthly meetings. These meetings allow management and worker representatives to jointly review H&S measures and performance, assess risks, discuss incident investigations and propose solutions (such as for vehicle- and contractor-related incidents), provide input on preventive measures such as the Driving Monitoring System (DMS) and Contractor Safety Management System, address workplace concerns raised by employees, and share lessons learned. This structured dialogue ensures that H&S measures reflect actual operating conditions and builds a shared safety culture across the organisation.
Management of Contractor Safety
The Group recognizes that the safety of contractors is equally important, and work to strategically promote safety among the contractors, including the “Safety Starts with Me” and “Don’t Walk Past” awareness raising campaigns, the Safety Competency campaign, and the INSEE Contractor Safety Management program. Our safety protocols and regulations are also strictly enforced and regularly improved to keep them up to date and appropriate to the current situation.
Risk and materiality assessment
The Group consistently assesses and reviews health and safety risks as well as material sustainability concerns, and we base our strategy, workplans, and budgets around these matters, under the guidance and approval of the Board of Directors.
