ZERO HARM initiative at Dubai repair yard

The shiprepair yard has embarked on a ‘ZERO HARM’ health, safety and environmental initiative which envisages ZERO fatalities, ZERO injuries and ZERO environmental damage, strengthening its commitment to a safe and healthy workplace. Drydocks World- Dubai Lost Time Injury (LTI) rate has been continually improving every year. In 2011, the yard had achieved 0.55 lost time injury rate per million man hours worked.

Additionally, the ‘Think Safety, Act Safety, Work Safety – Taking Safety Personally’ 2012 campaign has been initiated to further improve incident rates and reinforce positive behaviours and strengthen the safety culture across the Group. A number of initiatives, which includes ‘Zero Harm’ pledge, posters, awareness training, performance assessment and road signage, have already been initiated.

Moreover, the shipyard has recently been recertified to ISO 14000 1 by Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance (LRQA) and has an Environment Management System that ensures that the environmental impact if any is continually reduced.
