CapitaLand Mall Trust
Annual Report 2015
Health and Safety
We have a duty of care to ensure the occupational
health and safety of all employees and monitor our
operations to ensure safety risks are controlled.
We have adopted an Occupational Health and Safety
(OHS) Management System which was certified
to OHSAS 18001 international standards in 2009.
The OHS Management System is audited by a third
party accredited certification body.
Our OHS objectives are:
UÊ <iÀÊV`iÌÃÊÀiÃÕÌ}ÊÊÃÌ>vvÊ«iÀ>iÌÊ`Ã>LÌÞÊ
or fatality
UÊ Ê>ÊVÌÀ>VÌÀÃÊvÀÊ>ÀÊ«ÀiVÌÃÊ
>ÛiÊÌÊLiÊ
OHSAS 18001 certified (or equivalent)
We complied fully with local OHS laws and regulations
in 2015. During the year, we reported zero staff work-
related permanent disability or fatality. All the main
contractors that we appointed in 2015 were OHSAS
18001 certified.
In line with CapitaLand’s policy to select contractors
and suppliers who are committed to high environmental
and occupational safety standards, the majority of our
vendors and service providers are certified bizSAFE
Level 3 and above.
For our malls, we strive to mitigate key OHS hazards
in facilities, operations and contract management.
For instance, service providers such as cleaning
companies need to submit material safety data
sheets to show that materials used are approved
by authorities for use in Singapore. OHS guidelines
include office ergonomics, safety issues and general
employee well-being.
Located at New Upper Changi Road, Bedok Mall is
a green shopping mall and is part of an integrated
development comprising retail, residential and
transport hub.
Bedok Mall adopts a multi-pronged approach to create
a sustainable development from the early stages of
design. The focus on green construction is carried out
throughout the construction of this new development,
beginning with the green demolition of the previous
bus interchange and the recycling of building materials
from these demolition works.
Design Stage
A high-performance tinted double-glazed shopfront
glass was selected for the architectural facade,
and canopies offering sun shading are also provided
along the southern facade to reduce heat transmission
to the air-conditioned spaces.
Energy Saving Strategies
The strategies include the provision of high efficiency
systems such as lifts and escalators with variable
voltage frequency and sleep mode features, energy-
efficient light fittings and the use of motion sensors at
the common staircases and toilets to reduce energy
consumption.
Variable speed drive ventilation fans are used for
mechanical ventilation at the major areas such as car
parks and the bus interchange parking areas. Extensive
detailed studies were carried out to design the fans to
operate at optimal levels of energy consumption.
