Pinamucan Ibaba, Batangas City for the period of January 2019 to March 2021.
“These achievements prove that we are committed towards safety and we value teamwork in delivering quality output for our customers. We are doing our best to adhere to the safety standards set by the company, Department of Labor and Employment, and the client” said Alex Garciano, Vice President for Construction Operations of Aboitiz Construction.
In order to promote safety in the workplace, both sites have been conducting a series of precautionary and preventive drills, safety awareness training, site inspections and audits, checking of personal protective equipment and tool box meetings to discuss safety matters.
Moreover, it is being ensured that team members on all project sites are strictly following health and safety protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19 such as checking of body temperatures before entering the sites, social distancing in shuttles, and disinfecting the office and vehicles. The imposition of these protocols are a testament to the commitment of Aboitiz Construction to uphold safety culture and execution excellence in the workplace.
“These safety milestones prove that we are upholding the values of teamwork and execution excellence. Our teamwork has enabled us to work, plan, and execute things together. With execution excellence, we always go beyond the extra mile in order to gain trust of our clients,” said Anton Mari G. Perdices, Director, President, and Chairman of Aboitiz Construction.
