RIYADH, February 13, 2023
Saudi-based Diriyah Company said it has achieved a major Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) milestone clocking more than 30 million man-hours with a 19,181-strong workforce across all its projects in the historic district of Diriyah.
Diriyah, the Saudi state’s birthplace and a stage for many of its historical tales, is also home to the Unesco World Heritage Site of At-Turaif.
The Diriyah team had utilised more than 1,200 pieces of heavy equipment for these projects, said the company in a statement.
The remarkable milestone reflects the company’s continuous commitment to providing a safe working environment and validates the implementation of the OHS department’s comprehensive measures to mitigate risks and ensure the well-being of people in the workplace, it stated.
With health and safety at the forefront of Diryiah Company priorities, the OHS Management System provides the necessary protection for the giga-project’s contractors, and employers, on-site laborers from the hazards of occupational injuries.
The OHS department has been working toward positioning itself as the regional and global benchmark for excellence in workplace safety management.
It relies on a robust internal OHS Management System to fulfill the strategy of DGCL effectively and efficiently, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
