Chemstar Paints sensitises workforce on environment safety

Chemstar Paints Industry Nigeria Limited, manufacturers of Finecoat and Shield Paints, has stressed the need for a healthy workforce and quality environment for enhanced productivity.

Giving this charge was the Deputy Managing Director (DMD), Mr. Adedayo Paseda. He spoke at this year’s edition of the annual week-long Health and Safety Week, organised by the company.

“The need for the programme cannot be overemphasised since the awareness about health and safety issues around us has been on the increase due to rapid industrialisation and the challenges posed in the lives of the workers and the operations of the company,” Paseda said.

Echoing similar sentiment, the Head of Administration and Human Resources, Mrs. Toyin Robert, said the essence of the programme was to reduce health-related hazards and for the workers to cultivate the spirit of safety and health.

To ensure safe fire environment in line with the recommendations of the trainer from Lagos State Fire Service, Mrs. Esther Johnson, a Fire Superintendent I, the company expressed its readiness to identify some workers, who will be constituted and trained as the company’s Fire Marshalls.

The Assistant General Manager Operations, and Chairman of the Health and Safety Committee, Mr. Cyprian Ukpai, said that the issue of safety and environment should not be seen as the workers as management issue, but rather as the concern and responsibility of all and sundry in order to live a healthy life.

Tagged: ‘Healthy Lifestyle: Key to Personal Productivity,’ the four-day programme had in attendance over 1,000 workers who were taken through daily health routine and environment safety at workplace and at home.
