Al Naboodah Construction Group (ANCG), a subsidiary of Al Naboodah Group Enterprise, has celebrated achieving two million man hours worked without a lost time accident at its site in the Al Satwa District in Dubai
“This is a great achievement by all our HSE personnel and a testament to the diligence of all those on site,” said David Evans, CEO of ANCG.
“Getting to two million man hours without a lost time injury (LTI) is a commendable achievement and a result of the client, consultant and contractor working collaboratively and enforcing industry best practice across the whole site,” Evans added.
ANCG is installing civil works on the two sq km site which will be the location for up to 90 mixed-use tower blocks. The scope of work provided by ANCG includes the full infrastructure requirements for the development including road networks, drainage, street lighting, traffic control, road signage, irrigation, electric power and telecommunications among other utility infrastructure.
Work began on the site in May 2016 and is scheduled to complete later this year. There are more than 600 workmen on site on any given day. Worker welfare and occupational health and safety are major areas of focus for ANGE and comprise an important part of its sustainability roadmap which seeks to achieve zero LTIs across the entire organisation.
The group also has won the UAE’s Happiest Workplace Award for two consecutive years and has been acknowledged for excellence in labour relations with a four-star Taqdeer Award, by the government of Dubai.
