UAE's Gulftainer Marks One Million Man Hours Without Accident
Major accomplishment for Gulftainer's workforce, management and QHSE teams
Gulftainer's UAE terminals have achieved a significant milestone in their ZERO Harm health and safety program by reaching more than one-million-man hours with no Lost Time Injury (LTI) incidents.
This is a major accomplishment for the workforce, management and QHSE teams who have worked tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone despite the global pandemic and industry challenges.
To achieve this feat the QHSE team has conducted over 14,000 hours of training in addition to their normal schedule of inductions, equipment refresher training, HSE updates, first aid and fire-fighting training.
Management teams have conducted more than 175 safety walks in addition to the daily inspections by the QHSE team.
A robust culture of safety has been developed within the workforce in Gulftainer and it is a testament to everyone's hard work that the UAE Terminals have once again been presented with the British Safety Council International Safety Award in recognition of their commitment.
One of 549 international organisations achieving a Pass at the International Safety Awards 2022, Gulftainer has showcased its everlasting dedication and commitment to its loyal workforce, protecting its employees from the risk of injury and ill health at work.
