August has seen the passing of a couple of safety milestones for the team in Sakhalin. The team have surpassed 11 million manhours LTI free this month. This is truly a proud achievement for the team locally and the whole of Kentech. In order to achieve a milestone like this, you need a workforce built on mutual respect and a safety culture which leaves no room for compromise.
On the 19th October 2011 Kentech Sakhalin were awarded the 2011 Sakhalin-1 Contractor of the Year in recognition of Excellence in Safety at the annual Exxon Neftegas Limited Contractor Safety, Security, Health and Environment Forum held in the Sakhalincenter, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
At the beginning of August 2011, Kentech Sakhalin surpassed 500,000 manhours without an LTI on the Maintenance and Modifications contract with Exxon Neftegas Limited.
Ray Walsh, Project Manager on the Chayvo Site, Sakhalin Island has been awarded ENL Safety Hero for the month of June by our client Exxon Neftegas Limited. Ray’s initiative to “STOP & CHECK”, reinforced by large signs which are being installed across the facility, went down extremely well with site management. They noted that this is exactly the type of contractor initiative they hope for.
