Oman Electricity Transmission Company (OETC) has reached a major safety milestone, exceeding 70 million safe manhours without any lost time injuries (LTIs), according to Omanet.
The achievement reflects the combined efforts of its teams, strong stakeholder partnerships, and a sustained commitment to preventive safety measures.
OETC’s success underscores its dedication to maintaining the highest standards in Quality, Health, Safety, Security, and Environment (QHSSE) while fostering a robust safety culture across operational sites and key projects throughout Oman. The company attributes this accomplishment to ongoing initiatives that include comprehensive training, engagement programmes, and adoption of global best practices in occupational health, safety, and risk management.
Fahad Nasser al Kiyumi, General Manager of QHSSE at OETC, said the milestone is built on close collaboration among stakeholders. He emphasised unified standards, knowledge sharing, and collective compliance with safety protocols, supported by advanced digital systems to track performance, manage incidents, and monitor worksites. Regular inspections and awareness campaigns reinforce these measures, enhancing operational efficiency, accelerating project delivery, and promoting transparency and continuous improvement.
Innovation and digital transformation also play a key role, with smart technologies enabling risk analysis, advanced inspections, and proactive prevention rather than reactive emergency response. Through these efforts, OETC continues to safeguard all stakeholders while supporting operational sustainability and organisational performance.
“Reaching over 70 million safe manhours is a major milestone on our path to creating a zero-incident workplace,” Al Kiyumi stated. “It demonstrates the unwavering commitment of our employees, contractors, and stakeholders to quality, health, and safety as fundamental values. We remain dedicated to prioritizing everyone’s safety and will continue to enhance our systems, strategies, and programs, raise awareness, and apply the highest international standards to ensure a safe and sustainable working environment for all.”
