At Aqaba container Terminal we insist that safety is our number one priority. Above all else we value human life and expect Feras Al Taweil ACT HSSE head.
In recognition of ACT’s achievements on Health and Safety Management and the pioneering regulations it employs in the field, ACT had been twice awarded the “Social Security Excellence Award in Occupational Health and Safety” in 2009 and 2011, which is the only safety award of its kind in Jordan by the Social Security Corporation. This recognition was based on ACT’s high local and international saf
ety standards across all of its activities. Every service to customer is important to our success, but no service is so urgent that it may jeopardize our commitment to a safe work environment. At the end, safety has no hierarchy, and all staff and partners should feel mandated to intervene to remove the risk of severe, or indeed any, accidents. Through its HSSE department, ACT continues to aggressively pursue new training and workplace initiatives to increase effectiveness of the existing programs, which emphasize personal responsibility for safety in the workplace. "We believe that all injuries and accidents are preventable, our safety training and awareness induction sessions that we are conducting have significantly reduced the lost time injuries frequency rate." ACT employees, contractors, vendors and visitors are also responsible and accountable for their own safety and the safety of others; thereby ensuring a safe work environment. We require them to adhere fully to our HSSE principles. To eliminate accidents and work-related ill health and to protect the environment. The HSSE Department develops guidelines and minimum requirements; it formulates targets for the continuous improvement of ACT safety and environmental standards. And support our all as they work to meet these targets.
