Utico achieves one million LTI-free man-hours
RAS AL KHAIMAH: Utico, the Middle East’s largest full-spectrum private utility announced achieving a milestone of one million Lost Time Injury (LTI) free man-hours while the pace of output from its water and power plants rose to keep up the demand in 2019.
The achievement is particularly noteworthy since it meant prudent and critical monitoring and review of all work premises of the company spread across multiple locations to ensure effective execution of its Safety Policy, a statement from Utico said.
“The achievement is a testimony to the company’s robust standards on employee health, safety and environment which are integral to the company’s core values. Proper and excellent planning, training and oversight of the implementation of safety norms across the operations to mitigate existing and foreseeable risks is another crucial factor leading to this milestone,” said Richard Menezes, CEO.
This is the second one million LTI-free milestone achieved by Utico in the past two years.
In its statement, Utico said that as a utility which provides services over an area of 700 sq. km, the LTI-free million man-hours record is a result of the hectic task of uncompromising monitoring and supervising of the company’s day-to-day activities and maintaining high service quality. It is a collective achievement since each department and every person in the organisation played their roles to their best to achieve zero LTI, it added.
Utico is the first entity in the Middle East and Africa to achieve ISO 50001 from Quality Austria for Energy Management in 2008.
