Aggreko, a leader in the power and temperature control rental market, has joined hands with DuPont Sustainable Solutions (DSS) to further improve the safety standards at its international headquarters in the UAE.

As per the deal, DuPont will provide comprehensive safety management consulting, coaching to all Aggreko supervisors as well as representatives from top management, said a statement from Aggreko.

Starting with staff in Dubai, approximately 180 people will undertake comprehensive, behavior-based training that focuses on safety observations and the management of on-going dialogue with employees to encourage safe work practices, it added.

Since 1962, Aggreko has provided power generation rental and temperature control rental services on a global basis, and has been operating in the Middle East for over 20 years.

Serving a wide range of industries, the company has 144 locations worldwide and 9 locations across the Middle East.

Aggreko continuously strives for an incident-free workplace and believes that this vision can be achieved through an uncompromising approach to safety, it said.

The DuPont engagement is an integral part of the commitment by Aggreko management to constantly and consistently improve its safety management system to ensure the safety of employees, processes and equipments.

According to Colin Gaston, operations director of Aggreko International Projects, pointed out that DuPont was globally recognized as one of the safest companies in the world.

'Based on its know-how, expertise and established methodologies gained from advising hundreds of manufacturing companies worldwide, we trust DuPont can provide our company with solutions to help us achieve world-class safety standards,' he noted.

Wael Mansour, project manager at DSS Training Solutions, Middle East said this was a challenging project considering the wide range of activities within Aggreko.

'However, the full commitment and high level of enthusiasm across the organization, from top management down to shop-level workforce, serve as key drivers that allow Aggreko to implement the right changes in order to achieve best results,' he added.-TradeArabia News Service
