Inspire Integrated achieves five million man hours of zero LTI

Industrial

Inspire Integrated (Inspire) has announced it has achieved five million man-hours with zero Lost Time Injury (LTI) at the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP)

The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) held a ceremony at the Butinah Tent at the plant to award Inspire’s employees for their dedication towards consistency in safety, security and employee welfare.

Located in the Gharbiya region of Abu Dhabi, BNPP is the UAE’s first nuclear power plant. It consists of four nuclear reactors – two of which are operating, the other two are nearly complete – and has a capacity of 5,380MW, which is intended to supply up to 25% of the UAE’s energy needs.

The Inspire team has set a benchmark for industrial safety in providing a healthy working environment for employees and a safe service delivery for clients and stakeholders. With a robust and transparent reporting system including near miss and safety culture in the organisation, the zero LTI initiative is recognised by ENEC and monitored on a monthly basis through the project’s Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) key performance indicators.

Executive director of Inspire Integrated, Andrew Law, said, “Constant efforts and contributions towards safety from every single person have culminated in this great achievement. With open communication, meticulous supervision and management we have achieved this milestone and intend to continue the upward journey towards the health and safety of our team.

“It is an honour that the team at ENEC have awarded us for the achievement of five million man-hours with no injuries. The act of rewarding online motivates the team to perform better, stay vigilant and endorse safety measures among all colleagues.”

The five million man-hour milestone was accomplished through implementation of a combination of proactive factors, including conforming with local laws and regulation, following ENEC procedure compliance, having a strong safety culture with management commitment and communication; initiating employee welfare schemes, achieving more than 45,000 hours of HSE training, implementing safety focused procedures across the plant, and developing procedures for mitigating against Covid-19.
