A closing ceremony took place at the back-of-house area of MGM COTAI for the annual occupational health and safety (OHS) promotion campaign co-hosted by MGM in partnership with the Labour Affairs Bureau (DSAL).
The campaign was themed “Safety First, Wellness Always” and featured a “dynamic series of knowledge-based and interactive activities” throughout its run from August through October, according to a statement by the integrated resort operator yesterday.
The statement said that this marked the seventh collaboration between DSAL with MGM on the OHS roadshow. DSAL Director Chan Un Tong was quoted as saying: “MGM continues to apply innovative technology to enhance the work environment. For example, it has introduced a recycling solution that transforms used playing cards into eco-friendly packaging materials. The solution reduces the risk of repetitive strain injuries and accidents”.
Kenneth Feng Xiaofeng, president and executive director of MGM China Holdings Limited, highlighted the prioritisation of the mental well-being of staff. He was quoted as saying: “In partnership with the bureau, we have hosted a series of workshops to equip our employees with stress management skills, while encouraging them to share these insights with their family and friends, helping to build a more harmonious, healthy, and thriving Macau.”
Activities held during the “Safety First, Wellness Always” campaign were “OHS Flash Mob”, roadshows, quizzes, stretching games, fitness workouts, and seminars, with the initiatives aimed at encouraging staff to “maintain a positive mindset while remaining vigilant in the workplace”, the statement noted.
Among the activities, the statement highlighted that the Safety Snap Quizzes held in staff canteens garnered over 1,300 visits, while game booths set up at the “Safety First, Wellness Always” roadshows at back-of-house areas had over 3,000 visits. Moreover, the statement said that MGM emerged as the highest-performing integrated tourism and leisure enterprise among 39 participating teams at “The 11th Regional Safety Quiz” in Macau, winning both the 1st and 2nd Runner-up in the Enterprise category.
