Douglas OHI Contributes to 4 Million Safe Man Hours at Ghubrah III Desalination Plant

Douglas OHI is proud to recognise a major safety milestone at the Ghubrah III Desalination Plant in Muscat, where the project has achieved 4 million safe man-hours without a lost-time injury.

As a key delivery partner, Douglas OHI is honoured to have contributed to this achievement through its continued commitment to the highest standards of health, safety, and wellbeing across all areas of project execution.

The Ghubrah III Desalination Plant is one of Oman’s most important infrastructure developments, strengthening national water security and supporting long-term sustainable growth. Delivering a project of this scale and complexity demands more than technical capability. It requires a deeply embedded safety culture where people remain the priority at every stage.

The achievement of 4 million safe man-hours reflects the discipline, leadership, and daily commitment demonstrated by the entire project workforce. Through structured systems, proactive risk management, and consistent communication, safety has remained a shared responsibility across every level of the site.

Douglas OHI’s contribution has been underpinned by close collaboration with project stakeholders, subcontractors, and client teams, ensuring safety expectations are clearly understood, actively managed, and continuously reinforced. Regular safety engagements, toolbox talks, site inspections, and leadership walkdowns have all played an important role in sustaining high standards.

This milestone also reflects Douglas OHI’s wider safety philosophy, where programmes such as worker recognition initiatives and open reporting culture encourage accountability, early intervention, and positive behaviours on site. Safety is not viewed as compliance alone, but as a value that shapes how work is delivered every day.

As the Ghubrah III Desalination Plant progresses towards completion, Douglas OHI remains committed to maintaining this momentum and continuing to deliver with care, discipline, and excellence.

We congratulate all teams involved in reaching this significant milestone and thank every individual whose commitment has helped make it possible.
