Lost Time Injury (LTI) is a critical metric in occupational health and safety to ensure employee wellbeing.
Companies need to prioritise safeguarding employee exposure to any work-related injury or illness that might keep them from returning for the next scheduled shift or workday.
In high-hazard industries like oil and gas, tracking LTIs helps organisations measure safety performance, identify operational risks, and safeguard workforce well-being.
Maintaining a long period without an LTI requires continuous safety monitoring, strict compliance with international standards, effective hazard mitigation, and a strong culture of workplace accountability. Achieving extended LTI-free milestones highlights an organization's exceptional commitment to operational excellence.
Upholding safety standards
Sarir Oil Operations Company celebrates a major health safety and environment (HSE) milestone as it won the Occupational Safety Award from the Libya National Oil Company for surpassing 2,000 consecutive working days without LTI.
The award was received on the occasion of the Occupational Safety Day, in recognition of Sarir's' consistent upholding of safety standards. The NOC praised SOO for its preventive measures aimed at ensuring a safe, incident-free working environment.
This achievement reflects OMC’s vision in prioritizing the safety of individuals and the protection of the environment above all else; by the implementation of the highest international safety standards, along with continuous awareness workshops aimed at strengthening the culture of commitment and prevention among all employees.
