Dubai-listed National Central Cooling Company (Tabreed) has announced that it has celebrated 10mn of safe work hours without lost time injury (LTI)
The company stated that the accomplishment is a result of its compliance with the highest international standards of safety and operational excellence, its commitment to maintaining a robust Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) culture, and its continuous implementation of workplace safety improvement programmes.
Bader Al Lamki, Tabreed’s CEO, said, “Managing safety is never an easy task as it requires full commitment from all stakeholders to secure great results. This achievement was made possible by the collective efforts of all our employees, who established values and attitudes aiming to promote and maintain safety culture across the business.”
“We are proud of achieving this milestone given the large scale of our operations, spanning five countries with 75 plants,” he added.
Tabreed is committed to further enhancing its HSEQ culture, led by the company’s leadership who recognises the importance of empowering employees at every level of the business to ensure their own safety and the safety of other employees and partners through a range of best practices and tools to identify potential incidents prior to their occurrence.
Sabooh Asghar, vice-president of HSEQ at Tabreed, commented, “In the journey towards excellence in HSE culture, Tabreed personnel not only manifested the core value ‘Commitment to HSE’ but also strengthened their excellent workmanship with appropriate techniques to identify and mitigate existing and foreseeable risks. This was a team objective and one Tabreed wouldn’t have achieved, if not for the hard work and efforts from all our employees and partners.”
Earlier this year Tabreed was accredited with the ISO 50001 standard and was integrated with Tabreed’s existing health, safety, environment and quality management system.
