McDan Shipping Achieves 1,000 Days Without Lost-Time Safety Incident
McDan Shipping Company Limited has achieved a significant safety milestone: 1,000 consecutive days without a lost-time incident (LTI) across all its operations, including road transportation, warehousing, port operations, and office environments. The achievement underscores the company's deep commitment to creating and maintaining a safe working environment for all employees, contractors, and partners.
"Safety is not a department at McDan Shipping—it is a value that permeates every aspect of our operations," stated the company's Managing Director. "This milestone was achieved through the collective vigilance and commitment of every team member, from our drivers and warehouse operators to our office staff and management."
The company's safety programme includes comprehensive driver training and certification, regular vehicle maintenance and pre-trip inspections, warehouse safety audits, personal protective equipment protocols, and a robust incident reporting and near-miss analysis system. Monthly safety meetings and quarterly safety stand-downs ensure that safety awareness remains a constant priority.
Notably, the milestone was achieved during a period of significant operational growth, including the opening of a new warehouse, the expansion of the transport fleet, and increased cross-border operations. This demonstrates that growth and safety are complementary objectives when supported by the right culture and systems.
McDan Shipping's safety record is regularly audited by client organisations, particularly those in the mining, oil and gas, and manufacturing sectors, where safety performance is a non-negotiable prerequisite for contractor engagement. The company holds ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management system certification.
