General Electric has recorded another milestone in its oil and gas facility in Onne, Rivers State exhibiting an exceptional safety record.

In the last 10 years of operations, GE has not had any incidents at its Onne facility resulting in lost work time for any of the technicians, engineers or other personnel working in the facility, said a statement.

Dr Lazarus Angbazo, president and chief executive officer, said: “This achievement was due to GE’s outstanding Environmental Health and Safety standards and all the employees in Onne that make quality and safety an integral part of how they operate on a daily basis.

The safety record at the Onne facility underscores GE’s commitment to localisation, continued investment in the Nigerian economy and the creation of jobs for Nigerians.

GE will continue to improve service capabilities in Onne through constant training and retraining of the engineers and technicians, said Dr Angbazo.
 
In recognition of this achievement, GE received a ‘Meritorious Safety Performance Award,’ which is an award that Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company (Snepco) awards to its partners that prioritise safety in their operations. - TradeArabia News Service
