Western Mindanao Power Corp., owned by the Alcatantara Group, passed a recent round of stringent tripartite review of its compliance with government and international standards for safety control and emergency preparedness, industrial hygiene, occupational health, environmental protection and community relations.
The Labor Department’s Occupational and Health Safety Center said an official review and actual inspection of facilities by a tripartite panel confirmed Western Mindanao’s zero accident record and improved productivity because of an effective occupational safety and health program in the past two years.
OSHC executive director Ma. Teresita Cucueco said the standards that Western Mindanao complied with included nine OSH standards for safety control and emergency preparedness; seven OSH standards and a law on industrial hygiene and waste management; six OSH standards, three laws, six Labor and national government directives on health promotion in the workplace, and two laws on environmental protection, including the Clean Air Act; and DOLE standards for ensuring healthy relations between industries and communities.
Western Mindanao received the DOLE Secretary’s Award of Distinction for Institutional Category during the 8th Gawad Kaligtasan at Kalusugan at the OSHC office in Quezon City Thursday on recommendation of the tripartite panel. The GKK is given every two years by DOLE as a component of the Zero Accident Program, part of its efforts to enhance social protection programs—the eighth of the 22-point labor agenda of President Benigno Aquino III. source
