AP reported on Sick Leave Report for the calendar year to date as follows: 1. Paid Medical (MC) totaled 984 absences mainly due to flu and headache. This translated to 71% vs 61% PY; 2. Paid Hospitalization tallied 348 absences mainly due to covid & other non-work-related cases. This translated to 25% vs 35% PY; and 3. Work Injury reported 54 absences which involved 10 incidents, 60% of which were F&B Kitchen related while 40% were F&B Service related. These incidents resulted from 60% cuts, 20% burning/scalding and 20% others (STFs & Ergonomics related). b. A total of 1,386 absences were reported from January to September which is equivalent to 5 staff not working. WICA reported incidents has increased for the past two years, 11 incidents in 2022 vs 10 incidents for current year to date. This has prompted MOM to issue a WSH audit on 26 October. c. AP then shared the following recommendations to avoid similar occurrence of incidents: 1. Conduct safety briefings – do not rush, work safely and follow SOP and report hazards immediately; 2. Continue to practice good hygiene and disinfection of workstations; 3. Take occasional breaks to recharge; and 4. Attend Team Wellness activities. B) Club Incidents a.
