Sands China Ltd. wrapped up its OSH Month 2025 after six weeks of activities across The Venetian Macao, The Parisian Macao, The Londoner Macao and Sands Macao.
The programme ran Oct. 17–Nov. 28 and featured an OSH Month Showcase on Nov. 4 at The Venetian Macao’s back-of-house team member area, underscoring the company’s long-term commitment to team members’ safety and health.
The initiative centred on five themes: Health Index, Healthy Eating, OSH Awareness, Exercise and this year’s new Inner Wellness. Activities included health-screening roadshows, expert seminars, practical workshops, traffic safety education, vaccination services and health checks.
A newly introduced risk assessment of common chronic diseases used advanced AI retinal scan technology to evaluate dozens of health indicators linked to eye health and cardiovascular, endocrine, metabolic and nervous systems.
Sands China also partnered with Kiang Wu Hospital and the University of Macau to provide chronic disease checks and personalised health recommendations.
During the OSH Showcase Sands China presented appreciation tokens to partner organisations, held the finals of its Occupational Safety and Health Challenge, ran themed exhibition booths and presented its annual OSH Awards—an industry first among Macao’s integrated resort operators—recognising departments with outstanding OSH performance.

Chan Tze Wai, deputy director of the Macao Labour Affairs Bureau, attended the Nov. 4 OSH Showcase and commented: “OSH is the cornerstone of sustainable corporate development and a core value in safeguarding employee well-being. We are pleased to see that Sands China has long regarded OSH as a top priority in its operations, demonstrating the leadership and responsibility of a leading enterprise through concrete strategic planning and resource investment. In its comprehensive and systematic management processes, the company has continuously strengthened its ‘self-regulation’ policies on OSH, not only ensuring compliance with laws and regulations but also actively pursuing internationally recognised standards of excellence. The Labour Affairs Bureau fully affirms Sands China’s commitment to OSH. I sincerely thank Sands China for its outstanding contributions to advancing OSH in Macao.”
Sands China continues to promote OSH through a cross-departmental OSH Committee, ISO 45001 certifications in several departments, internal communications and ongoing education—advancing the company’s OSH strategy in alignment with Macao SAR government policies.
