Galfar Al Misnad has won the International Safety Award for 2020, with Distinction, from the British Safety Council for the Design and Build of Site Works and Infrastructure for Al Wakra Logistics Park Phase 1 (WLP-A & WLP-B), an important nation-building project the contractor is executing for Manateq.
The company has already achieved 11.5mn safe man hours without LTI at this ongoing project, according to a press statement.
The construction company has also won the International Safety Award 2020 for its overall operations, for “demonstrating a strong commitment towards good health and safety management in 2019”.
This is the sixth year in which Galfar Al Misnad has received this prestigious award in the Distinction/Merit categories, the statement notes.
“These awards are a recognition of Galfar Al Misnad’s consistent efforts in enhancing HSE culture in the organisation, reinforced by a staunch commitment from the leadership team,” explained Galfar’s HSE manager, Venkatesan Kulandaivelu.
The International Safety Awards are health and safety’s most coveted awards. They recognise organisations that have demonstrated commitment to occupational health, safety and well-being. The awards are a celebration of health and safety excellence across all industries in more than 50 countries worldwide. Both of Galfar’s awards are now candidates on the shortlist for British Safety Council’s ‘Best in the Country’ Award that will be announced at the end of this month.
“We are very proud of our exemplary performance at the International Safety Awards and it highlights Galfar Al Misnad’s commitment towards our motto: Safety First, Quality Plus, Reliability Ever,’’ said Satish G Pillai, executive director of Galfar Al Misnad.
Galfar Al Misnad, which completes 25 years of operations in Qatar this year, attributes “its consistent performance at the International Safety Awards to the diligent implementation of its comprehensive Health and Safety Management System”, the statement adds.
