Lagos — Nigerdock, a leading Nigerian maritime and logistics company operating an integrated free zone and port terminals in Lagos, has achieved a significant safety landmark of 17 million man-hours without Lost Time Injury, LTI, across its operations.
The noteworthy achievement is indicative of the company’s implementation of global safety standards and sustainable business practices.
Remarking on the milestone, Nigerdock Chief Executive Officer, Maher Jarmakani said: “This milestone reflects our prioritisation of workplace safety and our exemplary adherence to best practices in our day-to-day operations. I commend our managerial and operational teams, along with our partners and sub-contractors for an unwavering commitment in implementing company-wide world class safety standards, and policies focused on operational safety, the environment, health, security and emergency readiness.”
A critical Key Performance Indicator for Nigerdock’s conformity with industry best practices, LTI is a measure of injury sustained on the job, and it is a benchmark that evaluates adherence to safety and environmental requirements during operations.
Nigerdock General Manager, Operations, Simon Husband added: “Maintaining a safe workplace is a collective effort, and we are grateful for the continuous vigilance of employees towards preventing disruptions due to personnel injury. Our mantra of ‘No one gets hurt at work’ is a shared dedication to a safe and secure work environment that consistently meets international safety requirements.”
The company holds an annual HSE Week to deepen awareness and strengthen an incident-free work culture. The organisation recently achieved recertifications for Quality Management System (ISO 9001:2015) and Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (ISO 45001:2018).
