Renewable energy solutions provider SN Aboitiz Power (SNAP) Group held a virtual activity on April 28 to commemorate the World Day for Safety and Health at Work.

SNAP teams in Benguet, Isabela, Ifugao, and Taguig joined the event where their health, safety, and environment (HSE) leaders highlighted the importance of occupational safety and health (OSH) systems in achieving safety goals, building organizational resiliency, and responding to crises. Site HSE leaders shared how SNAP protocols enabled teams to prepare for and respond to calamities such as typhoons. They also shared how SNAP continues to manage the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic through continuous improvement of response and management measures. One of the highlights of the celebration was the employees› demonstration of how the company helps them deal with crises at home and in the workplace.

Joseph Yu, SNAP president and chief executive officer, said, “Safety is ingrained in our DNA here in SNAP. Our teams have adapted well to new ways of getting things done without compromising their safety or that of others. Our goal is to drive the continuous improvement of our HSE systems, behavior and culture in SNAP.”

Safety protocols are strictly enforced. All employees and contractors on lockdown are subject to routine RT-PCR testing and are given enough vitamins to boost their immune systems. A “safe haven” is established to ensure enough food and medical supplies to last for 28 days. “In SNAP, the health and safety of our employees, customers, and partners remain our number one priority and we are working hard to make sure that we do not let our guard down,” Yu added.

As of this writing, both SNAP-Benguet and SNAP-Magat remain in lockdown operations, while teams at its management services office in Taguig are still working from home.
