FM services provider has launched several new safety initiatives
UAE-based facilities management services provider, Emrill, has reached a major milestone in its ongoing efforts to ensure the health and safety of all employees, achieving 13mn safe man-hours without lost-time injury (LTI) in 2020.
Reaching 13mn safe man-hours in August 2020, this achievement marks 243 days without an LTI across all of Emrill’s sites in the UAE.
“We have created a safety-first culture, in which every employee is accountable not only for personal safety but also for the well-being of colleagues and the residents of the communities and sites we serve,” assured Stuart Harrison, CEO, Emrill.
Over the years, Emrill has launched several safety initiatives to create an environment of openness and awareness in which all Emrill employees are actively engaged in meeting safety targets.
All employees have been issued with a ‘Stop Work Card’, giving them the authority to stop any unsafe activity. Other ongoing safety programmes include Emrill’s Behavioural Based Safety and Working at Height initiatives, as well as monthly roleplay activities and Toolbox Talks, which focus on safe working practices.
In 2020, Emrill expanded its already extensive suite of health and safety training courses, adding its Frontline Supervisor (FLS) Health, Safety and Environment Training module.
“To ensure Emrill employees could complete the module, which is so critical for the safety of our frontline supervisors and the teams they manage, we adapted the course and training methodologies to enable us to deliver the lessons virtually,” stressed Faisulla Shariff, Integrated Management System (IMS) Manager, Emrill.
