ECG holds National Safety Week
The Electricity Company of Ghana is celebrating
its 4th National safety week in Cape Coast. The
celebration is to create staff awareness about
health and safety issues.

Speaking at the launch of the week, the Managing
Director of ECG, Robert Dwamena asked the staff of
the company to adhere to strict safety guidelines
to avert operational accident and deaths.

According to him, the rate of operational
accidents involving workers of the company is on
the increase. He called on workers to take
precautionary measures as they strive to lift up
the image of the company.

“This year alone, we have over a dozen
operational accidents. One person has so far died
out of these accidents. Our workers ought to be
careful. They need to stick strictly to the safety
guidelines to avert further accidents that can
claim the lives of our workers”

Robert Dwamena also asked the general public to
exercise restraint in their dealings with the
workers of the company. He averred that many
families of the staff of ECG are affected as a
result of the barrage of the insults poured on the
workers at their work places.

“Our workers are stressed both at home and at
their work places. They work their hearts and
minds out to ensure that we get what we need but
most of the time, we don’t appreciate what they
do for us. Some of them have marital and domestic
problems because their jobs take them away for a
considerable number of hours.”

The managing director of the company is thus
asking the workers to undertake regular exercises
to reduce stress.

The National safety week of the Electricity
Company of Ghana brought together a number of
safety awareness campaigners who took workers of
the company through a number of safety protocols.
