The management of Chemstar Paints Industry Nigeria Limited has reiterated its commitment to a working environment that will ensure quality health and the safety of the workers.
Group Managing Director (GMD) Adedayo Paseda spoke during the opening of the company’s 2022 Health and Safety Week. The theme is ‘Good Health and Safety Practice: Your Responsibility and Benefit’.
Paseda said the management would continue to prioritise the well-being, health and safety of members of staff across board.
He said: “We all have a responsibility to ourselves about our health and safety. And, our attitude, knowledge and information at our disposal on what to do to live health should be our concern.
“Since health is wealth and peace; good health and safety is a collective responsibility. Therefore, the programme will benefit you tremendously as I challenge you to practice what you are being told today consciously for our environment to be better.”
As part of measures to ensure workers’ safety, Paseda said safety kits such as helmet, boot, hand glove, and apron, among others, are regularly distributed to the workers and their usage enforced.
General Manager (Operations) and Chairman of the HSE Committee, Cyprian Ukpai, said since only a healthy workforce could enhance productivity, the company prioritises workers’ health.
He, therefore, urged the workers to submit actively participate in every activity slated for the programme.
