20 October 2023: Empowered engineering, integration and manufacturing company, Iritron, also a provider of engineered solutions in the fields of electrical, instrumentation, control systems, decision support and solar solutions, has announced that it has reached a safety milestone of 150 000 lost time injury (LTI)-free workforce hours.
This was achieved during a 10 month period, ending July 2023, by an average of 104 employees per month. At the end of September, the company is currently on 190 688 LTI-free shifts since July. Alwyn Rautenbach, CEO of Iritron, extended heartfelt congratulations to all Iritron staff across South Africa for achieving this milestone.
“The health and safety of our staff is our number one priority and our approach to inculcating a safety attitude, while providing all the necessary PPE, high-tech testing and monitoring equipment for our field and manufacturing staff, who are often exposed to hazardous environments, has really paid off. A workplace injury affects not only individual staff members but also the members of their immediate families who would be severely affected by an injury to the family’s breadwinner.
“To all our staff, I say ‘well done’ and keep up the safety practices that ensure a pleasant, productive and healthy workplace.”
