Celebrating 4 years LTI free in Iraq

Our recent work in Majnoon in Southern Iraq is a great example of a project where we have had a positive impact which we’re incredibly proud of.

Improving safe scaffolding practices in Iraq

We have been involved in work on the Shell Iraq Petroleum Development (SIPD) project in Southern Iraq for four years. As part of our involvement we have trained and developed local nationals on all aspects of scaffolding operations. Training has involved both classroom based theory training as well as practical training and supervision. We have introduced British health and safety standards and trained scaffolders  to ensure all scaffolding is erected and dismantled in accordance with NASC guidance  – TG20:13 and SG4:15.

We are now celebrating the fantastic achievement of  4 years and 0.5 million man hours worked without an LTI (lost time incident) or recordable accident. This is a huge achievement when you consider the standards and equipment in place when we first began work in Majnoon and is real testimony to the standards that are now in place It is a credit to Simian International’s staff but also to the hard work, dedication and willingness to learn of the local scaffolders  on site at all of the geographical locations we service.
