Achieving more than five million safe man-hours without a single lost-time accident is a remarkable accomplishment that reflects the unwavering commitment of the CENTRAL’s PMB, supervision consultants, construction workforce, and all project stakeholders. The milestone also demonstrates the effectiveness of close collaboration among all parties in maintaining site discipline and ensuring strict compliance with Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) standards.

This achievement serves as a strong testament to the effectiveness of the project’s occupational safety management system, construction leadership capabilities, and the culture of compliance that has been consistently upheld throughout the project lifecycle. It also highlights the scale and complexity of La Pura, a large-scale development requiring substantial manpower and long-term construction efforts. Through strong coordination and support from all stakeholders, the project team has successfully overcome challenges while maintaining progress and delivering quality in accordance with the Owner’s expectations.

As part of the program, the Owner and CENTRAL’s PMB jointly awarded certificates of recognition to exemplary engineers and workers who have made significant contributions to achieving the safety milestone.
