THE Philippine College of Occupational Safety (Pcom) cited energy-firm Steag State Power Inc. (SPI) for its superior occupational safety and health (OSH) programs and practices.
During a benchmarking visit to the 210 MW (net) SPI Mindanao Coal-Fired Power Plant at the Phividec Industrial Estate in Villanueva, Misamis Oriental, Pcom National Vice President Dr. Ricardo Balagot said SPI’s OSH programs and practices “are worth emulating”.
Since start of its power plant operations in 2006, SPI sustained a safe and healthy work environment by achieving more than four (4) million safe man hours with zero lost time due to accident and zero occupationalelated illnesses among its workers.
“SPI is a good model and our OSH practitioners could really learn a lot from them” Dr. Balagot added.
For more than four years now, medical doctors enrolled at Pcom for OSH-certification and accreditation come to SPI’s power plant to acquire on-site learning and insights on current best industry practices. pr
