World Health and Safety Day 2022

Thursday 28th April is World Day for Safety and Health at Work and Workers' Memorial Day. The day provides an opportunity to reflect on how to prevent work-related occupational diseases, deaths, injuries, and illnesses!

The Safety, Health and Well-being Day is held to emphasize safety, health and well-being at work and is held in connection with World Safety and Health at Work Day on April 28th. The safety, health and well-being of our employees is Ash Air's top priority.

Message from our SHEQ Specialist

Last year we gave something small back to the environment. Every team member received an Orchid with a Message to take home and to care for.

For the past year, the orchid in our team members home has been a symbol of the importance of Safety, Health and Well-being.

On this day of Health and Safety, a year in review, we established that the orchid needs love, care and protection and so does all OUR lives. We hope that you continue with this mindset throughout 2022 in our day-to-day lives.

Check out the video below to see how we celebrated Health and Safety Day 2022
