In our work as a leading construction and mining service provider, we often face safety challenges and unforeseen circumstances. Our Strive for L.I.F.E safety initiative focuses on creating a safety culture in the business, which is focused on the elimination of Class 1 safety risks. We

achieve this through safety leadership training and ongoing knowledge and skill development for our workforce. We embrace safety as a core value and demonstrate our commitment to safety by being vigilant on policy, providing

continuous safety training, implementing safety management plans and promoting employee health. We empower and encourage our people to report hazards, near misses and incidents without fear of blame. Our safety culture is based on a “no blame” approach so that we can learn from mistakes and integrate risk awareness into our daily work planning to proactively identify, control and remove hazards. The emphasis we place on safety leadership starts with clear and consistent communication from the top and our ownership of safety at all levels of the business is a competitive advantage. In the two years since we started rolling out Strive for L.I.F.E, we have seen our effective and disciplined approach to safety yield genuine change across all of Leighton Asia. I have now taken on the role of Chief Executive Officer of Leighton Holdings and Leighton Asia’s General Manager Commercial, Bob Cooke, will take over from me as the Acting Head of Leighton – Asia, India & Offshore.

From operating mines in some of the harshest and most isolated environments in the world to scaling new heights in building construction, our Business Unit 2 projects recorded a combined total of more than 6 million man-hours without any Class 1 and lost time injuries (LTI) in the first six months of this year alone. This remarkable achievement comes about a year after we started rolling out our Strive for LIFE safety programme to help eliminate Class 1 incidents, or fatalities or accidents that permanently change a person’s life, at all our projects. LIFE stands for Leighton Incident Free Environment. “Over 6 million LTI-free man-hours in six months is an excellent achievement,” Hamish Tyrwhitt, former Managing Director of Leighton - Asia, India & Offshore, said. Our Business Unit 2 projects currently include

the Zuellig Building and Masbate Gold Mining projects in the Philippines and the

Ukhaakhudag, Khushuut and Ulaan

The business of safety

Ovoo coal mines in Mongolia. In Thailand, we recently completed the Conrad Koh Samui resort and have a Southeast Asia joint venture with our sister company, John Holland, to carry out the fabrication and modularisation of steelwork for a number of John Holland projects in Australia. The most recent LTI at these projects occurred on 21 January. LTI refers to work-related injuries resulting in a temporary disability or time lost from work of at least one day or shift. In Mongolia, HSE Manager David Gornalle said our projects face specific safety challenges related to employing a local workforce and operating in harsh environments. Key among them are the need to introduce an unfamiliar local workforce to our high safety standards, developing a positive safety culture in the workplace and educating the local workforce about hazard awareness and risk management. Our project sites in Mongolia are also isolated from critical medical and emergency facilities and services, are accessed by very remote dirt roads and experience extreme temperatures ranging from more than 40 degrees Celsius below freezing in the winter to 40-degree Celsius heat and higher. Despite the challenges, we recently reached 1 million LTI-free man-hours at the Ukhaakhudag coal mine and went a whole year with no LTI at the Ulaan Ovoo coal mine. “A common consistent message is vital in the development of a positive safety culture and the Strive for L.I.F.E programme is achieving its objective. The introduction of the Executive Directors Safety Initiative Award to reward individuals or work crews for their creative ideas to improve workplace safety has been an important programme to reinforce the message that Leighton appreciates and recognises the effort put in to create and maintain a safe workplace,” David said. “Consistent education and training and reinforcing the message that all work can be done safely have enhanced our work environment on all projects.”

In addition to the Business Unit 2 milestone, we recently celebrated a double dose of safety success in the Philippines with the Masbate Gold Mining and Zuellig Building projects. At the gold mine on Masbate Island, where we are required to remove some 42 million bank cubic metres (BCM) of waste material and mine about 41 million BCM of ore over eight years, we celebrated 2 million LTI-free man-hours on 30 April with congratulatory speeches, awards and celebrations. Wayne Foote, General Manager of the Masbate Gold Mining Project, kicked off the proceedings with news that the entire project, including the Mining Alliance that we are a part of, had already reached 6 million man-hours without LTI. Operations Manager Chris Holder accepted a plaque on behalf of all the staff while Boyd Merrett, General Manager of Leighton Asia’s operations in Mongolia, the Philippines and Guam, said he was pleased with the progress and outstanding safety record of the gold mining project, which is the largest of its kind in the Philippines and produces one-sixth of the country’s gold. On the Zuellig Building Project, just over 3 million LTI-free man-hours were recorded as at 25 July, establishing the 33-storey office tower as a major landmark in the Makati central business district and in the Philippines building industry. Located in commercial and residential areas, the glass-clad environmentally aware building is the first development in the country to achieve LEED core and shell pre-certification at the gold level. LEED refers to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, which is a widely accepted green building rating system of voluntary consensus-based international standards. LEED was established by the United States Green Building Council to promote sustainable design and construction.

In Thailand, we recently safely wrapped up construction work on the luxury Conrad Koh Samui resort despite a number of unique challenges. The Thai resort opens in September. “The Conrad Koh Samui project must surely be one of the most challenging projects of its type,” Project Manager John Gurney said. “Some 97 self-contained luxury villas, each with their own infinity pool perched atop very tall columns, were constructed under what could only be described as extremely difficult conditions in terms of access and varying ground and unprecedented weather conditions.” The most challenging aspect of constructing the villas was the need to individually excavate more than 600 footings to support the columns on the steep hilly site. With some 1,400 workers on site at the peak of the project and vehicle access around the structures limited to narrow, slippery and steep tracks, moving men and materials around proved difficult. “It is certainly a credit to the long-term site staff, local Thai construction workers, supervisors and dedicated subcontractors who stuck with the task and is a project to be proud of,” John said.

Reflecting our safety and environmental awareness efforts, our joint venture on the Harbour Area Treatment Scheme (HATS) Stage 2A Project was the Silver Award winner in the construction industry sector at the 2010 Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence. At the 8 April presentation ceremony, where Project Director Argot Ansons accepted the award, the joint venture was recognised for its performance in proactive community relations, implementing environmental mitigation measures beyond contractual requirements and outstanding environmental management and communication. Following the awards, which aim to encourage businesses and organisations to adopt green

Proving their competitive spirit does not end after work, a team of Young Professional Club (YPC) hoop stars took to the basketball court on 21 June for a friendly match against players from international engineering firm Ove Arup & Partners. The YPC team was cheered on at the North Kwai Chung Tang Shiu Kin Sports Centre and won the match with a score of 44-14. Three weeks later, excited YPC members enjoyed a lunch with Hamish Tyrwhitt, former Managing Director of Leighton – Asia, India & Offshore, and Ian Edwards, Executive General Manager of our Hong Kong, Macau, China and Taiwan operations, at the landmark Jumbo Kingdom floating restaurant. YPC is an important forum for young Leighton graduates to share knowledge and experience.

Spectators and supporters thronged Stanley Main Beach on 6 June for plenty of thrills and spills at the Sun Life Stanley International Dragon Boat Championships. Held every year to celebrate the Chinese festival of Tuen Ng, the racing event has been successfully organised for over four decades. This year, we entered two teams, Radiant Dragon and Leighton Topgun, in the Men’s Division B category. Racing over 270 metres, Leighton Topgun emerged victorious in the Silver Cup Final with a time of just over 1 minute and 14 seconds. Radiant Dragon clinched the seventh prize in the Plate Final in about 1 minute and 24 seconds. Each dragon boat can carry up to 20 people, including a steersman and a drummer.

At the 9 May presentation ceremony for the 2010 Considerate Contractors Site Award Scheme, two of our joint venture projects were honoured for promoting a safe and healthy site environment. Among new public works sites, the Lai Chi Kok Transfer Scheme received a Bronze Considerate Contractors Site Award (CCSA) and a Merit Outstanding Environmental Management and Performance Award (OEMPA) while Senior Foreman Cheng Ping-wah was recognised with a Model Workers Award. The Harbour Area Treatment Scheme Stage 2A Project was a Merit CCSA and OEMPA winner and picked up a Model Workers Award for Leung Wah-kan. Both projects have a number of enhancements to improve the surroundings for neighbouring communities during construction. The award scheme is jointly organised by the Development Bureau and the Construction Industry Council.

With a shortened name and a new logo, the Managers Communication Group is now officially the platform for all managers of Business Unit 1, which includes Leighton Asia’s operations in Hong Kong, Macau, China and Taiwan, to share experiences and information about safety, environmental, quality, engineering and legislation issues. To mark the occasion, members of the group, which was previously called the Construction Managers Communication Group, enjoyed a boat cruise on 20 April.

With money raised supporting the charity work of the Hong Kong Outlying Islands Women’s Association, seven staff from our North Lantau Hospital Project volunteered to sell flags for a good cause on 21 May. The staff sold flags on Lantau Island around the MTR’s Tung Chung Station and Yat Tung Estate. The fundraising benefits the association’s charity work in the New Territories.

Themed “Growing with Leighton Asia”, the second EGM Roadshow hosted by Ian Edwards, Executive General Manager of Leighton Asia’s operations in Hong Kong, Macau, China and Taiwan, highlighted the many opportunities and challenges we face as we grow our business. In addressing his staff, Ian was particularly optimistic about future business opportunities, which include a number of hospital and public sector infrastructure projects due for tender. Ian also stressed the importance of maintaining and improving our high safety standards through our continued commitment to the Strive for L.I.F.E safety programme and helping the many new staff joining Leighton Asia to understand and be a part of our company culture. Three sessions of the roadshow were held on 23 June, 29 June and 15 July throughout Hong Kong to accommodate the large number and spread of staff across various projects and offices.CCSAS for LCK

With the resources market flourishing in Mongolia, we supported the inaugural Coaltrans Mongolia conference as a Bronze Sponsor. Held at the Chinggis Khaan Hotel in Ulaanbaatar from 21-22 June, the two-day conference was a unique opportunity for participants to better understand the development of coal mining in Mongolia. Many of the biggest names in Mongolia’s mining industry from both the private and public sectors were present. At a well attended session about mining operations, Boyd Merrett, General Manager of Leighton Asia’s operations in Mongolia, the Philippines and Guam, gave an insightful presentation about mining and infrastructure challenges when operating in remote locations and extreme weather conditions by showcasing our work at the Ukhaakhudag and Khushuut coal mines. The Ukhaakhudag coal mine in the South Gobi Desert is our first and currently largest mining project in Mongolia. The remote site is subject to sandstorms in the summer and bitterly cold and harsh winters, when temperatures can plunge to more than 40 degrees Celsius below freezing. Similarly, the Khushuut coal mine is situated in a remote part of western Mongolia, where existing infrastructure is very limited and the terrain is seismically active.

Benefitting the local community, more than 140 Khushuut coal mine staff, including some members of the senior management and health, safety and environment teams, spent nine days in May cleaning up the project site. The cleanup crew covered about 10 square kilometres and collected and disposed of 200 cubic metres of plastic waste and rubbish. All work areas were cleaned, including mine access roads and the base camp for the Barlag canyon road maintenance crew, which provides road safety, maintenance and refuelling services to trucks transporting coal from the mine to the Chinese border. The base camp is situated 90 kilometres from the mine site. At the local village in Khushuut, eight large steel waste bins and a refuse dump were installed. Villagers and mine staff were instructed on how to use and maintain the dump in a hygienic and environmentally friendly way. To reduce dust emissions, a Caterpillar 773 water truck was deployed to spray water around the village, mine access roads and work areas.

We recently secured our first contract from the Singapore Land Transport Authority with a Downtown Line Stage 3 railway project worth approximately A$130 million. The contract is a joint venture with our sister company, John Holland. The contract requires the joint venture to construct Sungei Road Station, a four-level station box with a platform, mezzanine, concourse and linkway, and complete related civil, structural, architectural, plumbing, drainage, landscaping and reinstatement works by 2017. Twin tunnels approximately 770 metres in length between Sungei Road Station and Bencoolen Station will be built using two tunnel-boring machines. Sungei Road

Station, which is located where Jalan Besar and Weld Road intersect and is adjacent to Sim Lim Tower, will serve many shops and businesses around the area. Downtown Line Stage 3 is a key component of Singapore’s 42-kilometre long Downtown Line and extends the existing Mass Rapid Transit railway network. “The Downtown Line Stage 3 contract is a significant win for us and reflects the joint venture’s solid experience in railway and tunnel construction, especially in urban environments. We are very proud to have been entrusted by the Land Transport Authority to deliver this project,” Hamish Tyrwhitt, former Managing Director of Leighton - Asia, India & Offshore, said.

Last year, Dody Irawan, a service truck driver at the Wahana coal mine, was seriously injured in an accident that resulted in the amputation of his left leg above the knee. After months of specialist medical treatment and rehabilitation, a determined Dody has taken up the challenge of learning computer skills in his road to recovery. Dody, who hopes to return to Wahana one day, had told former President Director Ray Hodgson and Sustainability and Development Manager Graham Almond that he wanted to stay in the Plant Department when asked about his future career plans. Since his injuries currently limit him to mainly clerical work in the office, Dody needed to learn how to

Since 2007, we have helped educate and train some of Indonesia’s most promising mining engineering students with one-year John McBreen scholarships. Named in honour of the late John McBreen, a respected Leighton Asia mining engineer, the scholarship programme awards one international and two domestic scholarships every year. This year, the scholarships went to Bima Putra, an Institut Teknologi Bandung student who will complete his final year at the University of New South Wales in Australia, and Dony Aryanto of Universitas Mulawarman and Ahmad Nofal of Universitas Lambung Mangkurat, who will continue studying at their respective universities.

Working in steeply sloping jungle terrain that is seismically active and subject to extreme rainfall, staff and workers at the Martabe gold and silver mine in North Sumatra successfully reached 1 million man-hours without a lost time injury (LTI) on 27 May. LTI refers to work-related injuries that prevent staff from returning to work straight away. This achievement in project safety is even more remarkable since we needed to train an unskilled workforce that was largely recruited from the local community, including many women from nearby villages who successfully qualified as operators of the Caterpillar 740 articulated dump truck. So far,

We successfully hosted an exhibition stand at the 17th annual Coaltrans Asia conference, which we were a Gold Sponsor of. Highlighting the Asian coal industry, the conference attracted around 2,400 delegates and featured over 100 exhibiting companies. Coaltrans Asia was held at the Bali International Convention Centre from 29 May to 1 June.

we have put the staff and workers through about 14,000 hours of HSE, or health, safety and environment, training and over 27,000 hours of operational training. About a month later, on 30 June, Martabe staff and workers enthusiastically welcomed Hamish Tyrwhitt, former Managing Director of Leighton – Asia, India & Offshore, former President Director Ray Hodgson and Chiu Tao, Chairman of client G-Resources, during a brief visit. The gold and silver mine is located on the western side of Sumatra Island and we are required to remove about 13.5 million bank cubic metres (BCM) of waste material and mine over 8 million BCM of ore over five years.

With help from a one-on-one tutor, he has learned to use Outlook and other computer programmes, including Microsoft Word and Excel, and is currently applying his new skills in the Plant Department of the Jakarta office. “Dody has never been on the internet, let alone touched a computer. I applaud him for overcoming the fear of change and embracing the opportunity to learn and grow,” Graham said. It is hoped that Dody’s injuries will have healed enough for him to be fitted with an artificial leg in the coming months.

the client, the launch was well attended and highlighted the importance of project safety and the impact of Class 1 risks through informative presentations and speeches, safety awards and a Strive for L.I.F.E banner, which everyone signed to officially kick off the campaign. The successful evening was capped off with fun safety quizzes and a lucky draw. At the double-tracking project to upgrade the rail infrastructure between Ipoh in Perak and Padang Besar on the border with Thailand, two separate launches were held given the project’s geographic spread and the need to accommodate more than 1,000 staff and workers. The first launch was held on 25 June at Taiping in Perak while the second took place at Pinang Tunggal in the state of Penang one week later. The launches were followed by comprehensive training in Strive for L.I.F.E values, culture and behaviours for managers, superintendents, supervisors and foremen.

Fresh from spending a year living and learning in Germany under the AFS intercultural exchange programme, Athena Mak was full of new experiences and memories, which she shared at a 21 July tea gathering to welcome her back to Hong Kong. From learning to communicate in German to living and travelling with her host family, Athena said she now has a better understanding of different cultures and appreciation of life’s challenges. During her time in Germany, she travelled to Berlin with her host family, experienced her first snowy winter and visited Dresden with her classmates on a school trip. “Now, I am not afraid to try new things as this is a basic requirement of being a cultural exchange student. I understand the concepts of ‘practice makes perfect’ and ‘learn by doing’. These are the best ways to learn new things. By meeting people of different nationalities, I can broaden my horizon and social network. Last but not least, I have learnt to cherish every opportunity I come across,” Athena said.

After months of hard work and preparation, our redesigned intranet went live on 7 June with a brand new look, enhanced functions and speed and a more user-friendly interface. Rolled out across our offices in Asia, the new-look Leighton Asia intranet provides our employees with speedy access to important company information and resources. To help ensure the changes and improvements reflect feedback from end users, we set up an intranet committee, with representatives from the different business units and departments, to gauge staff views and provide recommendations on the new intranet. In May, we soft launched the new intranet at our offices in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Mongolia and the Philippines and conducted in-depth focus groups, where some 100 “Intranet Champions” from across our various projects and offices provided invaluable and insightful feedback about the intranet experience.

As we push ahead with Leighton Asia’s successful Strive for L.I.F.E safety initiative, we are currently reviewing our existing approach towards the management of safety at our Business Unit 1 operations, which cover Hong Kong, Macau, China and Taiwan. This review will help us better understand some of the challenges we currently face and determine the direction and framework of our “Next Step Change” on our Strive for L.I.F.E journey to achieving the goal of a business free of Class 1 incidents. The key to our achieving this goal will be getting people fully engaged by ensuring that our safety management systems work hand in hand with a positive and proactive safety culture. “Across the business as a whole, there is strong evidence of our staff’s energy and commitment towards improving site safety. The Strive for L.I.F.E programme has helped bring this about by providing the energy and focus needed to achieve our objective of eliminating Class 1 incidents from our business and by clearly defining the culture, which we need to create in order to continually improve upon our past safety performance,” Dean Cowley, Head of Safety, Environment & Security, said. “Safety systems will not succeed, no matter how good they are, if they are not underpinned by a positive organisational safety culture.” An independent consultant is currently working with our staff on the investigative review, which may also shed some light on common areas of concern and opportunities for improvement across the wider Leighton Asia business.

From the fourth quarter of this year, we will conduct a health and safety climate survey for the first time across all our business units to better understand where we are in terms of our safety culture as an organisation and, later, to develop an action plan to get to where we want to be. The survey will initially focus on the safety perceptions of our senior management and supervisors and seek to address any areas of concern and discrepancies between them. Samples from the workforce will be taken later in the survey exercise before the results are collated to form a course of action for future initiatives. The survey will ask participants to best describe how various aspects of safety, such as competency and training, are currently managed in Leighton Asia. The results from the survey and how we use the findings are key to climbing up the five-level “Health and Safety Cultural Ladder” and achieving a world-class health and safety performance.

To help quantify our health, safety and environment performance, we are introducing a number of key indicators that will allow us to better support our business going forward. The indicators are designed to measure how we perform, from the Class 1 risk reduction rate to green house gas emissions, and are targeted to further our efforts to promote a safe and environmentally aware workplace and highlight Leighton Asia’s corporate social responsibility and sustainability. We will introduce an environmental awareness programme and related initiatives from the end of this year.

Supported by Leighton Asia and calling themselves Leighton Legends, 15 touch rugby players put their best boots forward for nine Saturdays this summer and emerged as Men’s Division 3 Plate runners-up in the second phase of this year’s popular sportperformance Summer Touch Tournament & Festival. The Leighton Legends squad defeated Stingray Blues 2 in the Men’s Division 3 Plate Semi-Final 5-0 but lost 2-8 to HK Silverbacks in the Plate Final. Our players on the field included Alex “SPRINTER” Tang, Andrew “NORTHERN BULLET” Goodall, Andy “BATTS” Battershill, Derrin “CIKI” Cikoja, Gordon “H.K.” Lee, Hugh “TRIPLE H” Harrington, James “1st CLASS” Attenborough, John “BULLDOG” Howarth, Kenneth “RED” Lau, Marcus “BADGER” Pellow, Matthew “KEN-KEN” Kenfield, Mike “ROMANTIC DESIGNS” Featherstone, Neil “SMOOTH” Taylor, Simon “THE WEDGE” Johnson and Terence “SPEED LIMIT” Leung. Touch rugby is an informal social version of the game and is played by touching opponents rather than by tackling.

To encourage active participation from Leighton Asia staff and their children in the game of rugby, we are supporting the HKU Sandy Bay Rugby Football Club for the 2011/12 and 2012/13 seasons. The new season began on 28 August. HKU Sandy Bay is a successful volunteer club that introduces children from ages 4 to 17 to the game of rugby. Open to boys and girls of all levels of ability, the programme has over 650 children playing rugby on Sundays at the Stanley Ho Sports Centre in Pokfulam. In November, HKU Sandy Bay puts on plenty of international mini rugby action with its popular annual Mini Festival. Our support helps provide for playing kits and equipment as well as training and coaching and follows our successful sponsorship of the rugby section of the Hong Kong Cricket Club, which is affiliated with HKU Sandy Bay through its mini and youth programme.
