Sohar Aluminium trainees get the ‘zero harm’ message

SOHAR Aluminium’s ‘zero harm’ policy is now well-entrenched in the minds of the company’s 117 graduate trainees after they successfully completed a four-week Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) course that was the final phase of their 18- month traineeship program.

The trainees were graduated at a special ceremony at the National Training Institute in Sohar on Monday 19 November, where Sohar Aluminium’s General Manager – Operations, Michel Huot, presented them with certificates and congratulated them on successfully completing their training.

“At Sohar Aluminium, the well-being of people and the environment comes first,” Mr Huot said. “The company has in place rigorous EHS standards and practices to sustain a culture of zero harm, and has pioneered a number of initiatives demonstrating its EHS commitment.

“Now that they have completed their traineeship, we look forward to welcoming these young Omanis to our company as employees, knowing that they not only have excellent skills in smelter operation but also that they know how to work safely and protect themselves, each other and the environment.”

All graduates will be introduced to the company as full-time employees working in various areas of the Sohar Aluminium smelter and power plant. “With specialized skills as multi-functional technicians, these young Omanis can look forward to a rewarding career within a multi-billion dollar company that is paving the way for manufacturing in Oman,” Mr Huot said.
