MANAMA: Bapco has announced the record achievement of 20 million employee-hours of work without a Lost Time Injury (LTI).
The milestone was reached on June 15 this year and a celebration to mark the achievement was held at the Bapco Club in Awali, in the presence of Oil Minister and Bapco chairman Shaikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Khalifa.
Congratulating all employees, Shaikh Mohammed said the board sees no room for complacency when it comes to the welfare, well-being and safety of employees. “What really matters to us at the end of the day is that everybody goes home safe,” he added.
This is the very first time Bapco has reached this historic personal safety milestone since it was established, and represents a total of 618 days of operation with no injuries requiring a Bapco or contractor employee to miss a working day due to injury.
In an internal memo addressed to employees and contractors, Bapco management congratulated all involved for living Bapco EHS values, and applauded them for their contribution to the achievement of such a significant milestone, which is in line with Bapco’s goal of an incident and injury-free workplace.
