OETC Reaches 70 Million Safe Manhours: What This Milestone Means for Business Safety and Investment in Oman
Muscat: Oman Electricity Transmission Company (OETC) has reached a significant milestone by surpassing 70 million safe manhours without any lost time injuries (LTIs). This achievement reflects the combined efforts of its teams, strategic partnerships with stakeholders, and a sustained commitment to preventive safety measures. It highlights OETC’s dedication to maintaining the highest standards in Quality, Health, Safety, Security, and Environment (QHSSE) while fostering a robust safety culture across its operational sites and key projects throughout Oman.
This success stems from OETC’s ongoing initiatives focused on raising awareness and ensuring compliance through comprehensive training, engagement programs, and the adoption of global best practices in occupational health, safety, and risk management. These efforts protect all stakeholders, support operational sustainability, and improve overall organizational performance.
The company also emphasizes innovation and digital transformation as vital to enhancing its QHSSE framework. OETC utilizes smart digital technologies to monitor performance metrics, manage reports and field observations, analyze risks, and implement advanced inspection and audit tools. Regular awareness campaigns further reinforce these efforts, resulting in greater awareness, quicker response times, better-informed decisions, and a proactive approach to prevention rather than reactive emergency response.
Fahad Nasser al Kiyumi, General Manager of Quality, Health, Safety, Security and Environment at OETC, noted that this achievement is built on close collaboration and integrated efforts among all stakeholders. He highlighted the importance of unified standards, knowledge sharing, enhanced team preparedness, and collective compliance with quality, health, and safety protocols across project sites. Al Kiyumi also pointed to the use of advanced electronic systems for tracking compliance, managing incidents, and monitoring worksites, supported by regular inspections, supervision, and awareness campaigns. These measures improve operational efficiency, accelerate project delivery, and uphold transparency and continuous improvement.
“Reaching over 70 million safe manhours is a major milestone on our path to creating a zero-incident workplace,” Al Kiyumi stated. “It demonstrates the unwavering commitment of our employees, contractors, and stakeholders to quality, health, and safety as fundamental values. We remain dedicated to prioritizing everyone’s safety and will continue to enhance our systems, strategies, and programs, raise awareness, and apply the highest international standards to ensure a safe and sustainable working environment for all.”
