️ Aradel Hits 10 Million Injury-Free Man-Hours, Sets New Safety Benchmark
Aradel Holdings Plc has achieved a major operational milestone, recording 10 million man-hours without a Lost-Time Injury (LTI) across all its subsidiaries as of 21 December 2025.
This achievement comes during a period of expanded operational activity, underscoring the company’s strong commitment to health, safety, and environmental (HSE) excellence.
What This Milestone Means
• 10 million man-hours without LTI means no work-related incident resulted in an employee or contractor being unable to return to work.
• It reflects effective risk management, disciplined execution, and a deeply embedded safety-first culture.
• The record spans all Aradel subsidiaries, not just a single operation.
Strong Safety Culture, Not Luck
Aradel attributes this performance to:
• A structured HSE framework
• Proactive leadership involvement
• Continuous employee and contractor engagement
A major pillar of this culture is the company’s Annual HSE Week, now nearing its 9th year, which reinforces vigilance, safety awareness, and best practices across the organisation.
International Certifications Strengthen Credibility
Aradel has backed its safety culture with globally recognised standards:
• ✅ ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental Management Systems
• ✅ ISO 9001:2015 – Quality Management Systems
• ISO 45001:2018 – Occupational Health & Safety (in progress)
These certifications signal operational discipline, environmental responsibility, and quality assurance in line with international best practices.
️ Digital Safety Management
To further strengthen oversight, Aradel has deployed SAP EHS Management, a digital platform used to:
• Monitor workplace health and safety
• Track environmental compliance
• Improve real-time risk reporting and response
This move reflects the company’s shift toward data-driven safety management.
️ 20 Years of Production with Strong HSE Record
In August 2025, Aradel also marked:
• 20 years of continuous production
• While maintaining what it described as an excellent HSE track record
This reinforces the sustainability of its safety performance over time.
️ Management’s Perspective
According to Adegbite Falade, CEO and Managing Director of Aradel Holdings Plc:
“For us, the first measure of success is safety. Achieving 10 million man-hours without LTI reflects the discipline, collaboration, and dedication of everyone working across our business. At Aradel, we proceed at the speed of safety.”
Empowering Employees: ‘Stop Work’ Policy
A key feature of Aradel’s safety framework is its ‘Stop Work’ mandate, which:
• Empowers employees and contractors to halt any unsafe activity
• Encourages a “see something, say something” culture
• Is reinforced through the company’s Golden Safety Rules
Looking Ahead
Aradel says it remains committed to:
• Delivering sustainable energy solutions
• Supporting Nigeria’s economic growth
• Improving operational performance
• Setting new safety benchmarks in the energy sector
Investor Takeaway
While this is not a financial announcement, it is highly relevant because:
• Strong HSE performance reduces operational and regulatory risk
• It enhances corporate reputation and long-term sustainability
• It signals disciplined management and strong governance culture
Safety, in energy businesses, is value protection.
