DIMO recognised at National Occupational Safety and Health Excellence Awards

DIMO has been honored with the Special Award for Best Critical Risk Management Strategy at the recent National Occupational Safety and Health Excellence Awards. This recognition underscores DIMO’s steadfast commitment to ensuring occupational safety during the implementation of the Habarana Grid Substation project for the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB), the largest substation project in Sri Lanka.

In collaboration with its principal partner Siemens, DIMO carried out a total Civil and Electrical work of 220/132/33kV Habarana Grid Substation project. DIMO also executed the entire design of civil works, on-site construction, installation, testing, and commissioning work of the project.

Throughout the project implementation, DIMO maintained an unwavering focus on occupational safety and health. This involved the identification and assessment of critical risks, analysis of job safety, enforcement of control measures, implementation of risk mitigation plans, issuance of safe work method statements, adoption of a work permit system, and implementation of operational controls. The company also implemented change management procedures and behavioral-based safety initiatives to ensure the highest safety standards. This approach allowed DIMO to successfully complete the project and hand it over to the CEB, reporting over one million safe man-hours without any fatalities or major accidents.
