Douglas OHI Champions Safety Excellence with Confined Space Training at KSA Project Site

In the high-risk environment of construction, safety is paramount - and nowhere is this more critical than in confined space operations. Recognising this, Douglas OHI recently conducted an intensive Confined Space Training programme at one of its project sites in KSA, reinforcing its commitment to industry-leading safety standards and workforce empowerment.

Confined spaces present unique hazards including limited access, poor ventilation, and the potential for hazardous atmospheres. Traditional safety measures, while essential, must be augmented by thorough training and practical readiness to ensure that every team member understands the risks and the correct procedures to mitigate them.

Douglas OHI’s training goes beyond compliance. It instils a safety-first mindset by combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on simulations that mirror real-world scenarios. This approach empowers workers to identify hazards proactively, use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and execute emergency protocols confidently and competently.

This training initiative is part of Douglas OHI’s broader strategy to embed a culture of safety leadership across all levels of its operations. By investing in advanced training technologies and skilled instructors, the company ensures that its teams are not only prepared but also motivated to uphold the highest safety standards.

“Safety is not just a checklist - it’s a continuous journey,” said a Peter Baker, Regional HSSE Manager, Douglas OHI. “Our confined space training reinforces this ethos by equipping our people with the knowledge and skills they need to stay safe and keep their colleagues safe.”

Douglas OHI’s proactive approach highlights the company’s role as a thought leader in health and safety within the construction sector. By setting rigorous standards and fostering continuous learning, the company contributes to raising the benchmark for safe working environments across the region.

As construction projects become increasingly complex, Douglas OHI remains committed to advancing safety innovations and ensuring every worker returns home safely - every day.
