Tema Tank Farm (TTF), Ghana’s leading privately-owned petroleum depot in the country, has celebrated its 2,000 days without lost time injury (LTI).

This is the first time that a company in the country’s petroleum downstream industry has ever achieved the record. TTF, responsible for managing the terminal owned by Chase Logistics – both under the CH Group umbrella – has maintained an impeccable safety record since 2012.

Lost time injuries, according to experts, are a very important benchmark for any organisation concerned with the health and safety of its employees. These incidents have immediate consequences and long-term effects on both the injured employees and employers.

Speaking at a day’s event to climax the celebrations of the 2,000 days without LTI, Managing Director of the TFF Terminal, Edem Boni, said: “To be able to do this when the terminal is live during construction and operations is a major milestone”.

It is also a testament to the commitment to safety from the entire staff and stakeholders. This is a first in the industry, he stated.

“Achieving the 2,000 days without LTI gives all our stakeholders and customers who are using our facility the comfort that we adhere to the best safety standards when it comes to downstream petroleum”.

Mr Boni explained that they are dealing with petroleum products, and for stakeholders and customers to know that they have been able to do this for 2000 days without any lost time injury (LTI), is comforting.
