Employees’ Occupational Health and Safety

Vision for 2030

A company where all employees work together with safety first the priority in a comfortable working environment as well as safe facilities and operations

Approach and Policy

Because the Group’s business activities involve working at heights and handling large equipment, heavy machinery, and chemical substances, employees risk occupational accidents, including fatalities, and health hazards.
On the other hand, an environment in which employees can work in safety and with security is an important management element that leads to greater employee motivation and stronger relationships of trust between employees and the Company. Therefore, the SMM Group aims to create comfortable and safe workplaces, including at our contractors, and is further advancing its ongoing equipment safety measures and has begun introducing advanced technologies such as the IoT^* and AI (Artificial Intelligence).

IoT: The Internet of things, under which services are deployed through all manner of things being connected through the Internet.
