Renewable energy solutions provider SN Aboitiz Power Group wins big at the Gawad Kaligtasan at Kalusugan (GKK) Nationals, held at the Occupational Safety And Health Center (OSHC) Auditorium in Quezon City on November 23, 2022. SNAP-Benguet's Ambuklao hydroelectric power plant (HEPP) was recognized as national industry champion in occupational safety and health, while both Binga HEPP and SNAP-Magat's Magat HEPP also bagged Silver Awards. SNAP-Benguet's assistant vice president (AVP) and plant manager Hollis Fernandez also received the Silver Award in the individual category for his exemplary contributions in OSH.
SNAP representatives personally received the trophies from the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) secretary Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma. SNAP has been consistently recognized by the GKK for commendable OSH practices.
For years, DOLE has lauded the best establishments and individuals in terms of occupational safety, health, and environmental programs and policies through GKK. Only regional champions are eligible for the prestigious national recognition; SNAP-Benguet and SNAP-Magat were awarded champions of their respective regions earlier in November.
In his speech, Sec. Laguesma cited GKK as the most prestigious award for health and safety in the industry, commending the participants for their collective contributions to uphold the labor department’s advocacy and help build the future of occupational safety and health in the country.
The awards reaffirm SNAP’s commitment to going above and beyond in creating effective and innovative programs to ensure the health and safety of their workforce and continually create meaningful impact in communities. Joseph Yu, President and CEO of SNAP Group, shares, “As one of our core values, Safety is truly ingrained in SNAP’s culture. The national recognition speaks to our efforts and commitment so far and drives us to innovate and work even harder. We will keep raising the bar in occupational safety and health, and building resilience in our employees and communities through our programs.”
