Safety is always IMI’s number one priority. At IMI, we
believe that every accident is preventable. Together with our contractors and
partners, we commit to safety and make sure that this philosophy is implemented
in every part of the project that IMI is involved in.
Our approach
towards safety does not allow our employees to take any risk. They don’t do the
work if it is not safe.
Project safety initiatives have always
been focused in two main areas, worker safety and the safety of residents in the
construction areas of the projects we are involved in.
All workers must wear personal
protective equipment suitable to their tasks, such as hard hats, steel-toed
boots, gloves, eye protection goggles, etc.
On site, a meeting identifies safety hazards before
proceeding with a task, using a formal Job Safety Analysis procedure to develop
solutions for handling each hazard.
At worksites, a rigorous process of ongoing safety analysis
helps anticipate and prevent accidents. Any serious accidents that do take place
are carefully investigated and analyzed in order to prevent future similar
incidents.
In addition, road guards are posted in construction areas and
strict speed limits are imposed on project vehicles traveling in the project
area due to challenging road conditions that mix construction vehicles with ox
carts, poor roads, and pedestrians.
