ACC clocks six million LTI at Sky Views.

Arabian Construction celebrates safety milestone

ABU DHABI, October 5, 2015

UAE-based Arabian Construction Company (ACC) achieved a key safety milestone by clocking six million LTI (Lost Time to Injury) free hours at its prestigious Sky Views construction site in Dubai.

Celebrating the feat, Mohammad Bidad, Group Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) manager, said: "ACC’s reaching of 6 million LTI-free hours at our busy Sky Views construction site, which we broke ground on 14 months ago, is testament to the fact that we as an organisation attach the utmost priority to the health and safety of all our 3,300 on-site employees."

ACC, he stated, has a long and well-established track record in the field of safety and the company’s HSE department works closely with the site team to ensure that all projects are delivered safely and in line with the group’s standard operating procedures and stringent safety controls.

"We are particularly proud to have achieved this milestone considering the project’s challenging location and its proximity to the Burj Khalifa Metro Station, and the thousands of passengers who use this station daily. This award underlines our continued commitment to health, safety and environment management," he observed.

Previously, the company had achieved a record of 36 million LTI free hours at its Gate Towers project in Abu Dhabi.

“Therefore we know we have the processes and experience to build on the achievement at Sky Views and are looking forward to celebrating many more landmark figures in the future,” added Bidad.

In March this year ACC was the recipient of the International Safety Award for its construction of the premium Fountain Views project in Downtown Dubai.

The honour took the form of a Merit Award from the esteemed British Safety Council; a non-profit organisation dedicated to ensuring best practice in health and safety in the workplace.-TradeArabia News Service
