2. Key Risks
3. Challenges
4. Adaptation
5. Conclusion
Sime Darby Plantation
World’s Biggest Producer of Certified Sustainable Palm Oil
3
Produces Approximately
2.4 4%Million tonnes, of world’s annual crude
palm oil output
Key Risks in Plantation (Estate)
MSD injuries
Fallen bunches
Skin abrasion
due to contact
with FFB
Heat stress
Animal attacks
Occupatio-nal
poisoning and
diseases
Vehicle accident
Sharp harvesting
tools
Thorn prick
Snake and insect bites
Eye injuries
from fallen
debris / frond
FFB- Fresh Fruit Bunches
PPE PROGRAM
PDCA + Hierarchy of Control
• Policies• SOP
• selection, provision, issuance and maintenance, storage & disposal
• Risk assessment• Training• Enforcement of PPE
program and awareness• Audit
Challenges
Challenges
Man(Taking short cuts,
Thinking that PPE is a hindrance,
False sense of security,
Discipline in maintaining of PPE)
Management(Over reliance on PPE rather
than other risk controls,
Enforcement on the ground,
Lack of follow up on PPE effectiveness and program)
Method(PPE may cause hindrance
toward movement and discomfort)
Mother Nature(Hot climate – Most PPE added additional layer of clothing and
lack of ventilation causing body temperature increase)
Material(Some PPE are not ergonomic
in design,
Lack of ventilation,
Unable to be reused,
PPE available provided limited protection towards exposure
to hazard.)

Adaptation
• Man• Migrant Worker Induction
Center
• Behavioral Safety
• ICARE Program
• Management• Felt Leadership
• KPIs (Leading & Lagging)
• Material/ Mother Nature• Collaboration with
manufacturer and supplier

• Method• Substitution of
hazardous chemicals
• R&D Collaboration with research centers
• Genome research
• Mechanization
• Safe distance
