Inspire Integrated (Inspire) is pleased to announce its achievement of five million man-hours with zero Lost Time Injury (LTI) at Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation’s (ENEC) project - Barakah Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP). ENEC recently 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 United Arab Emirate’s first nuclear power station and the first commercial power station in the Arab world. It consists of four nuclear reactors - two of which are operating and the others which are almost complete – and has a capacity of 5,380 MW which is intended to supply up to 25% of the UAE’s energy needs.
The site comprises more than 100 buildings including residential, offices, utility areas, and a guest house, and the services provided by Inspire include total facilities management, hard services, catering services, specialist sub-contractor management, soft services, and landscaping services.
In a quest to provide a healthy working environment for employees and safe service delivery for its clients and other stakeholders, the Inspire team is setting a benchmark for industrial safety. With a robust and transparent reporting system including near misses and a 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.
“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 toward the health and safety of our team. We are thankful to each and every member of the site team for their contributions and efforts to ensure we have introduced and maintained the highest HSE standards at BNPP,” said Andrew Law, Executive Director, Inspire Integrated.
“It is an honour that the team at ENEC has awarded us for the achievement of five million man-hours with no injuries. The act of rewarding only motivates the team to perform better, stay vigilant and endorse safety measures among all colleagues,” added Law.
The five million man-hour milestone was accomplished through implementation of a combination of proactive factors and achievements, including:
The Inspire team will continue to strive for zero LTI and retain the progressive HSE journey throughout the company.
