He remarked \u201cABL has a moral and legal obligation to safeguard employees and visitors to its site against risks to health, safety or loss associated with our activities. Our focus on hazard identification and control as well as emergency response management has yielded significant results thereby reducing man hours lost to accidents on our premises. The commitment of our MD and other Heads of Department to safety issues of employees has also enhanced the campaign towards compliance with all safety procedures.<\/p>\n
Anthony Grendon, MD of ABL, in his commemorative message to employees said \u201csafety is non-negotiable and safety is everyone\u2019s business. Stress at the workplace is a reality, hence it is important for one to understand how to deal with it effectively.
