SIFAX Inland Container Terminal (ICT), a subsidiary of SIFAX Group, has recorded 8,736 hours of zero lost time to injury (LTI) during operations at the terminal.
Paul Linden, managing director of SIFAX Inland Container Terminal, disclosed this during the company’s Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) week held recently at the terminal.
According to Linden, after a few minor accidents recorded during the company’s first year of operations between 2020 and 2021, the terminal’s management did a thorough review and evaluation of its health and safety processes with a view to minimising accidents in the terminal.
“The terminal is glad to announce that it recorded zero accidents in the 2022 business year. This is a good one for us and we will improve on this in the coming years. I must applaud our HSE team for the thorough job of making sure that all staff and visitors comply with the policies of the terminal. Through their efforts, we can roll out the drum to celebrate a year of an injury-free workplace. A special thank you to all our staff for their cooperation too,” he said.
Godwin Okoyeaniche, head of HSE, SIFAX ICT explained that the terminal was able to achieve this feat due to the collaborative efforts of all stakeholders.
“We are celebrating the 2022 HSE Week to appreciate all our stakeholders for their support towards helping us achieve a zero LTI this year. We promise that 2023 will bring more possibilities for us all,” he said.
