When Linda Lim Yan Beng founded United Resources in 1987, it began with a clear goal: to develop quality industrial chemical solutions. Over the years, that goal has grown into a global business spanning M.R.O, safety, spill control, and innovation across countries. But progress means more than just expansion. It’s about making meaningful impacts. That’s why Linda championed the Purpose Fit Safety PPE for Seafaring Women initiative, to address the risks female workers face from poor-fitting gear. For her, leadership is about challenging the status quo — in how we do business and how we protect people. It all anchors to one guiding belief: "We Never Stop at Good Enough" — for our people and our industry.

Linda Lim Yan Beng is a driving force in maritime safety, championing the Purpose Fit Safety PPE for Seafaring Women initiative. Recognising the risks female seafarers face, she spearheaded the development of safety gear tailored for women, enhancing comfort, mobility, and protection. She collaborated with industry leaders to promote equity and inclusivity and ensure gender specific PPE becomes a standard in maritime operations. She spearheaded the Confined Space Rescue, a specialised emergency response, in the marine industry. It requires trained personnel, specialised equipment, and strict safety protocols. Key techniques include rapid emergency response, controlled ascend and descent, and structured evacuation procedures, minimising risks to both victims and rescuers. She also has conducted numerous training in their office and on customers’ sites, educating and promoting safety at work.

Linda Lim Yan Beng implemented the wearable safety technology named MakuSafe to monitors EHS hazards like slips, trips, falls, strain, exertion, sound exposure, and air quality.
