Classified under the Safety and Health Award Recognition for Projects (SHARP) category of the WSH Awards 2010, the awards recognise PEC for contributing to achieving excellence in workplace safety and health at seven job sites.
The company excelled on several projects sites including the Bukom Refinery Modification Project, Ethylene Cracker Complex Project, maintenance for GlaxoSmithKline, PAC Site, Pulau Bukom Site, Singapore Chemical Plant, and Singapore Refining Company Site.
Supported by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), the SHARP awards specifically recognise projects or worksites that have good safety and health performance, as well as workplace safety and health management systems.
SHARP winners achieved the following: either no reportable accident in 2009 or at least one million man-hours with no reportable accident; no new occupational disease, stop-work orders, or accidents that caused death or permanent disablement from Jan 1 2009 to date; and an injury rate below 25% of the industry rate.
Wong Peng, managing director of PEC, said: “With a high level of activity, we are proud to have maintained a strong safety record in 2009. It is a great achievement for us to be awarded seven SHARP awards, which is an important recognition of the dedication and attention our staff put into their job, and a strong testament to their hard work and commitment to safety.
“Safety is our number one priority, and as pleased as we are with our performance, we will continue to strive to consistently create and maintain an incident and injury-free work environment where ‘Nobody Gets Hurt’.”
