It took us another 384 days (or 2,682 days since last LTA) just to reach this milestone, the 6 Million Safe Man Hours without Lost time Accident and this was achieved last March 14, 2007. This could not have been made possible without, of course, the collective efforts of our employees who are working safely not only for themselves but also for the safety of their co-workers. Since October of last year, we have likewise included the regular contractors in our manpower and man-hour count, hence, equally acknowledging the efforts they exhibited towards safety.

We surely hope that these numbers will continue to multiply each day, and as the numbers get higher, it becomes more challenging for us to reach the next million level. Nevertheless, this should not make us stop exerting our best effort to make our plant one of the safest in the country. With our safety systems and programs in place and with the commitment of management and our employees in upholding the culture of safety in the company, we believe that we will be able achieve more safety milestones.
Again, we would like to express our appreciation to all of the employees who have been instrumental in ensuring that the whole plant will be operating safely, and to the management for the unwavering support given to all the safety endeavors and programs to make and maintain the plant as a safe and healthy work place. Let us also thank our families who are always praying and waiting for our safe return to our homes, and especially for Him, for guiding us and protecting and keeping us away from any harm that may come our way.

Congratulations to each and every one of us for achieving the 6 Million Safety Man Hours without Lost Time Accident. Indeed a great feat. So let’s go for that 7 Million!
