HES Botlek Tank Terminal recently hosted its first-ever company-wide Health, Safety & Environment Day, and it was a resounding success. The event aimed to reinforce safety awareness and enhance readiness across the terminal through a series of interactive and practical activities.
One of the highlights was an emergency response drill, marking the first time the terminal conducted a simulated drowning rescue at one of its jetties. The team also engaged in a treasure hunt, where groups scoured the terminal to identify potential abnormalities, reinforcing vigilance and safety practices. Essential safety skills were sharpened through resuscitation training and hands-on fire extinguisher usage, ensuring that everyone was well-prepared for potential incidents.
After an eventful day, participants were treated to fresh pizzas from an on-site food truck, providing a well-deserved reward for their hard work.
“At HES, the safety of employees, contractors, and visitors remains a top priority. The success of this inaugural event has inspired the company to make HSE Day an annual tradition, further solidifying its commitment to creating a safer workplace.”
“A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who took part in making the day both educational and enjoyable.”
