Sarawak Energy CCGT project achieves safety milestone

BINTULU: Sarawak Energy Bhd’s (Sarawak Energy) recently celebrated its one million man-hours without lost time injury (LTI) for its 842MW Tanjung Kidurong Combined Cycle Gas Power Plant project in Bintulu.

In a press statement, Sarawak Energy group chief executive officer Sharbini Suhaili said, “Safety is Sarawak Energy’s top priority, and today marks a significant milestone in the project’s progress as well as our journey towards zero injuries in line with our Health Safety and Environment Key Focus Area.

“We want to create focus in the organisation and ensure that everyone is working towards the same objectives – including all 5,000 of our employees throughout the state, our contractors, sub-contractors and their employees.

“The safety of our contractors and their employees are very important to us. We are building partnerships with our contractors to ensure that safety is given top priority across all levels.”

Sharbini presented the certificate to GE-Sinohydro Consortium at an event held at the project site earlier. The consortium, which has a headcount of 600 at the worksite, officially achieved the feat on April 22 of this year.
