It’s a validation that we take our environmental responsibilities seriously, and can manage our contribution to sustainability in a systematic manner.”
Al Shirawi Contracting Company already has one of the best safety standards in the country, with no major fatality reported in the last 10 years. It recorded 1,547,260 million safe man hours in 2018 alone. The ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety certification reiterates its commitment to protect its workforce and further reduce any workplace risks.
Krishna Kumar, General Manager, QHSE & Business Excellence, added: “Our Group has always regarded certifications and the steps leading up to it as a way of scrutinising our existing processes so that we can better ourselves and ensure client satisfaction. As a result, most of our companies already have the latest ISO certification.”
