He expressed the resolve of management of the company to continue to focus on building a set of behaviour not only in top and middle management but also in heads of sections, engineers and supervisors to influence a safety culture throughout the organizations.
Mr. Gade urged the workers to exercise due care in the execution of assigned work, obey lawful instruction regarding the organization and execution of work and be responsible for the safety of fellow workers to safeguard their own future well-being and that of the company.
