We recognize that occupational health is not just a compliance requirement but a moral and strategic responsibility. It is essential for productivity, resilience, and long-term sustainability.
Our Health Management initiatives are guided directly by senior leadership and embedded across all departments. We proactively assess and address health risks associated with industrial environments, remote worksites, and high-demand logistics operations. This includes both physical and mental health considerations, with structured programs to minimize exposure to harmful substances, reduce ergonomic strain, and support psychological wellness.
Key elements of our Occupational Health Strategy include:
- Pre-Employment and Periodic Health Assessments
Ensuring fitness to work through comprehensive medical evaluations based on job roles and risk levels. - Workplace Hygiene and Exposure Control
Implementation of controls for noise, dust, chemical handling, and temperature extremes, particularly in energy, defense, and marine supply chains. - Health Surveillance and Monitoring
Regular monitoring for early detection of occupational illnesses or signs of long-term exposure to hazardous conditions. - Emergency Medical Preparedness
Site-specific response planning with first aid facilities, evacuation protocols, and medical support at all project sites. - Wellbeing Programs
Initiatives such as stress management workshops, hydration campaigns, vaccination drives, and access to mental health support.

East West International follows a structured and responsible approach to managing waste across all project locations. Effective waste management is critical to maintaining environmental integrity, ensuring worker safety, and meeting client and regulatory expectations.
All waste generated during construction and operational activities is systematically segregated according to material type. Designated categories help streamline handling, transportation, and disposal in accordance with environmental best practices and client requirements.
Waste Segregation Categories
Waste materials are sorted into the following primary categories:
- Recyclable Waste
Includes paper, cardboard, wood, metals, and plastics that can be processed and reused. - Domestic Waste
General waste generated from living quarters or kitchens, classified into multiple subtypes for effective sorting and disposal. - Hazardous Waste
Includes contaminated soil, chemical residues, oily rags, or other materials deemed dangerous under regulatory definitions. A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is maintained for all hazardous substances on site, along with a comprehensive inventory. - Construction and Demolition Debris
Covers materials such as concrete, bricks, excess soil, and other debris arising from excavation, demolition, or installation activities.
Handling and Disposal Procedures
- All waste is clearly labelled in English and stored in designated areas with appropriate signage. Hazardous waste is handled with special care and transported only by certified contractors to approved treatment or disposal facilities.
- Liquid effluents generated on site are collected and disposed of through approved waste management providers, ensuring that no untreated discharge enters the environment.
- Site-Level Waste Management - Each project maintains a waste register, monitoring volumes and types of waste generated. This allows for better planning, improved recycling rates, and alignment with sustainability targets.
At East West International, our aim is to minimize waste generation at the source, encourage reuse and recycling, and ensure that all remaining waste is managed safely, legally, and responsibly.
