SAFETY DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

We emphasise the structural stability of our buildings, fire and emergency safety compliance, as well as the integrity of building materials. Qualified professionals such as resident engineers and technical supervisory staff are engaged to monitor the construction process to ensure our developments are built in accordance with building regulations and codes. Our builders are expected to meet CDL’s high standards of quality, safety and sustainability.

As part of CDL’s EHS Management System, we have put in place a process to ensure all health and safety hazards at various parts of a development’s lifecycle are assessed and adequately managed, with actions identified and implemented to safeguard onsite workers and members of the public from potential risks during the life-cycle of a development.

Product Safety and Customer Well-being

As a responsible facility manager, CDL actively identifies the significant hazards and manages the risks in all CDL-managed commercial buildings. To ensure the safety and security of our commercial tenants and the public, every building is under the care of an Operation Manager who oversees its daily operations with a team of full-time service providers, and a range of safety and security measures.

On top of day-to-day cleaning services, as well as the maintenance of good sanitation and indoor air quality, CDL also takes care of the health and well-being of our tenants and their employees through a series of health-related activities and programmes jointly organised with the Health Promotion Board (HPB).
