Thornaby based engineering firm K Home International Limited (KHI) is celebrating 2.5 million man-hours without a lost time accident by all employees at their head office and on clients’ project sites.

This result reflects a continual commitment to Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) management within all levels of the business. Excellent HSE compliance ensures everyone can go home at the end of the day without injury, and has established an ethos of competency and safety-focus throughout the company.

Consideration is provided to HSE management aspects of all projects from initial concept design, detailed design through to construction management and commissioning support. The sectors in which KHI provides its services include chemical, petrochemical, energy and nuclear plants including other heavy industries such as minerals extraction and metals manufacture. The requirement to ‘design to avoid risk to health, safety and the environment’ is inherent in KHI’s procedures.

As recognition of this accomplishment the company has made a donation to the Sands Charity.

“We are pleased to be able to mark this achievement by donating to a worthwhile cause within our local community and we would like to thank all our personnel for their contribution in achieving another milestone in our HSE performance programme. People are our greatest asset and we always emphasise that HSE is our number one priority as part of the execution of our works”. Said Lee Anderson, Operations Director for K Home International

“The Health, Safety and Environmental culture is well established in the company, and we have proudly achieved the RoSPA Gold Award in three consecutive years” added Lee Anderson.
