Training and preparedness are central to Atlas Pearls’ health and safety approach. Our operations involve a wide range of working environments, from vessels and marine farms to processing facilities, workshops and accommodation sites. Ensuring that employees understand risks and know how to respond is essential to preventing harm and strengthening confidence across the workforce.
During the reporting period, Atlas Pearls delivered health and safety training across operational locations. Health training covered topics such as malaria, dengue, hepatitis, tuberculosis, mental health, dermatitis and hand care, and epilepsy awareness. Safety training focused on practical workplace risks and emergency response, including first aid, basic firefighting, sea survival, manual handling, correct PPE use, dropped object awareness and man overboard response.
Emergency drills also played an important role in translating procedures into practice. Across sites, teams participated in scenarios such as fire, earthquake, tsunami, medical emergency, man overboard and volcanic eruption response. These activities help strengthen coordination, reinforce roles and responsibilities, and prepare teams for high-impact events.
Regular toolbox talks supported day-to-day safety communication, focusing on practical topics such as housekeeping, slips and trips, pinch points, falling objects, moving equipment, PPE and incident reporting. Together, these activities help embed safety into daily routines and support a more proactive safety culture.
